I really didn't think it was that bad a tackle from Mathers. It was more of a grab than anything IMO, I'd like to have another look at it on tele, but I'm supprised that He's been charged for it.

Cunningham on the other hand, sometimes I'm genuinely supprised at some of the stuff that comes out of the RFL, that is priceless....So basically, there saying it's ok to strike, as long as you don't aim at the eyes. Intresting precident there putting down there.

you tried looking in the multi page thread entitled 'Mathers' ?

there was a player in the other code in the mid 90's played for gloucester got jailed for breakin an opponents jaw

Yes. That would be a criminal legal action rather than civil though.
