Good god. Is this thread still going?

Are you kidding? It's hilarious!

I named another few in an earlier post, thought you might ignore them, you being so biased. And he didn't disappoint on Friday, there were a few, but watch around the 60 minute mark for a primo example of Cunningham's thuggish play. As the player is being tackled, he throws a punch at the player's face, luckily only just catches the top of his head. Was he punished? Was he buggery.

I have to admit his try was a good one, though.

But what the hell happened to the referee for that disgraceful Gidley try? I think it was Gidley who scored it, but after Gidley and Foster were offside for the kick, then Foster took out Hicks IN THE AIR and OFF THE BALL, then I don't think Gidley grounded it properly... SHOCKING inadequacy from the referee.

If we're talking thugs, surely someone sticking the boot into a defenseless player about to play the ball deserves to be banned sine die? Don't they?

Interestingly awaiting your comments on the spear tackle the Joel kick to the head and the Sam 'grab an arm and a penalty' Tomkins incidents from Fishta.

You do make your side look holier than thou at times and yourself an absolute tool

The boot was stupid. Think the ref saw it was retaliation to a lash-out from McGuire and let it go, but no, he shouldn't have. Due to the fact it was more of a push and to the ball rather than the player, I reckon he'll get 2 matches, so be back for the Grand Final. And if you think that deserved a Sine Die ban, Cunningham should have been castrated and fed to hungry orphans in Africa for what he did to Stosic.

The Spear tackle.. well, I was surprised Eastwood didn't get his marching orders for that one.

As for the grab an arm, we've been caught out getting our arms on the ball in a few matches this season, whilst I disagree with the tactic it would be inconsistent to start penalising for it now.

As I said elsewhere, being fair, should the players have their hands on the ball unless it's one on one anyway?

A push! HELLO it was a petulant kick why look a tool and try to defend him, try using some of that self proclaimed wisdom and principles you use to criticise other sides player for that of your own.

So it's been happening all year, best not to penalise this cheating now? So should every player now adopt this tactic and ruin the play off season or as long as it's 'our Sam' it's ok! - you are laughable mate.

No comment on the spear tackle executed by Prescott then Fishta.

I raise these questions to you because of your pathetic drivel and bias - you're rubbish above proves how subjective you really are

I didn't defend him. I explained why the ref probably let it go WHEN HE SHOULDN'T HAVE. Don't make more stuff up now.



Again, I didn't say that. In fact, I said I DISAGREE WITH THE TACTIC. Hardly saying it's ok, is it?



Didn't see it, unfortunately. If it happened then I hope it's dealt with.



Actually, all it proves is that you can't read what's written on the screen in front of you... including my username.

Shall I start calling you "there only one tan wall"?

No, I've more sense than that.

As for petulant kicks, maybe it will be dealt with in the same way Senior's was dealt with in the Challenge Cup match. But that won't be up to me.

My My Fishsta, seems you have a lot of thugs in your team. Joel Tomkins kicking someone on the floor, Prescott spear tackling someone and another player taking out McGuire. I think you better stop supporting Wigan after all this Thuggish behaviour, I know from experience what a strong campaigner you are against "Thugs" in the game!

For frigs sake did you have to bring this thread back?

Another one who can't read. Cripes. They're all out tonight.

I didn't do it mate! It had already re-appeared on the 1st page.

That's my week ruined now. Any chance they could invent an 'ignore' button for a thread?

I think Fishta should get an award, "the Ryan Bailey of the Message Boards".

Because I beat you down in a ferocious and unrelenting torrent of verbal thumpings?

Poor comeback, Poor Effort. You accused Moore for one of thuggery naming one incident. Well 2, maybe 3 of your players have committed acts of "thuggery" tonight, so I expect you'll be refusing to attend any more games until they are gone.

P.S A lot of people seemed to speak very highly of that "over-rated thug" before the Game on Friday.

I suppose JLM23 thinks Carmont should be banned for life by daring to maliciously attack Danny McGuire with his spine.

The Joel incident, fair enough, it was a stupid thing to do and it's cost us the match, he could get a ban for it, but given that Senior got away with kicking him in the head earlier this year I suspect he may get let off.

Prescott's spear tackle ended with the Leeds player on his legs, as opposed to the Buderus one leaving a player on his neck which was much more dangerous.

No I don't, read the whole topic and you will see that it's long been my argument that just because someone does something in one game doesn't make them a thug.

Which has long been my argument as to why Wilkin, Leon Pryce and Cunningham are thugs!

We come full circle at last.

As I said, Isolated incidents do not make them thugs. Joel Tomkins has been involved in quite a few incidents this year, I take it you dont want him at your club anymore?

P.S I see how you conveniently failed to comment on the fact of how many people spoke highly of Cunningham before the game Friday.

In particular, James Lowes.

I would have thought a thug hooker wouldn't be able to find another hooker, let alone the one who was his main rival internationally and in relation to the trophies on offer for a good number of years, who would be prepared to commend the guy.

I'd much rather he played cleanly.



What's to say? I remember him for his thuggism, other people will remember how he played at one club, not really doing very much and conning everyone into thinking he was incredible.

If you actually believe that, you are much, much more deluded than I thought and clearly beyond all help.

Cunningham can't "do a Jimmy" like Lowes could.

I didn't like Lowes much either, but he was ten times the player Cunningham ever was.

Yep, definitely beyond all help.
