Quote ="millfan"Quite how the two Tomkins and Yeaman are the only names charged for fighting is beyond me, too. For starters, Fitzgibbon's kidney punches were within the letter of the law were they?'"
I'm beginning to wonder whether when there's a fight they just pick people at random to put before the beak tbh.
Manu has probably got away with all he did because the fight has distracted the disciplinary away from everything else. In real terms Tomkins (Sam) was one of very few who actually shouldnt be involved as he ran across to protect his brother by pulling guys away and not by punching as hes being charged with. Its ludicrous to be perfectly honest.
If he gets found not guilty tonight the evidence that he didnt punch anyone that ANYONE can watch on the SL site or on iPlayer wont stop the Hull fans piling onto our board to tell us its a disgrace he has got away with it etc. Of course I dont think the RFL watch the same footage as everyone else. How many times have u heard someone getting off on appeal because "a new angle showed he was innocent" despite all other 9 from 10 or whatever would clearly show he was not innocent? I bet if we had tried with Lima a few weeks back they would have "found another angle" too. Though to be fair that is mostly reserved for Morley, Senior or Peacock.
