Eh? Are you suggesting Leuluai was guilty for contorting his body into a position that made it look like Radford was placing undue pressure on him?

Damn right. Radford got fook all and Sam did no worse than he did.

The only time someone appealed this year his ban was extended. I'd rather him miss Hudds and be definitely able to play vs Wire than chance them extending it. Plus you can only appeal that he didnt do it. He definitely did so theres no point.

You did before the new Chairman/ owner took over.

pretty irrelevant post

Both deserve their ban so I don't know why anyone would suggest Wigan should appeal. What do you expect if your going to run over and throw punches. One game really isn't too bad imo.

We did plenty of "other things" as well before then as well.

"Due to his exceptional record" makes it sound like he's guilty but he's been a good boy before now so we'll let him off the hook.

so why did lima get a ban for same thing it was his first game so no chance to have a bad record surely cant count nrl record

Disagree with that.

Even from being a young lad i was taught to run the ball in, if i had just been smashed, hit high, punched etc.

Its the way it has always been

It must have been my imagination when Fitzgibbon was throwing punches then.

Which coincidentally is the exact same record as Joels, 1 previous charge each

Murphy of Wakey had his 2 game ban reduced to just a fine on appeal and Webster of Hull KR had his two game ban kept as it was on appeal.

Due to him being a midget, the RFL didnt see it.

Correct! And if possible run at the player who just hit you, in the hope of gaining another pen and possibly the sin-binning or dismissal of the opponent.

Joel Tomkins was just simply too thick to think he was being given a free shot.

Well Lima didn't have a record as he hadn't played any games in Superleague before whereas Radford has had many years in Superleague so has built up a clean record. Pretty simple really.

Incorrect, Lima had a good record in Aus as well so should have been better treated due to this

Joel totally deserved his ban! It was completley unprofessional what he did. Sam Tomkins ban is harsh in my opinion considering what treatment he recieved during the game that went unpunished.

Mine too.

Radford was doing some real wind milling mind you. I

It just goes to show though!

Our boys BATTERED the soft Yorkshire lot. The RFL have basically awarded a points decision to the Sugar ray Tomkins brothers!!

I remember when the Arlie's where capable of winning a fight or two. Things have changed since KR beat them up last year i suppose?

sending off for punching bailey on the floor last year isnt very clean..

Incorrect, Aus isn't Superleague

Do you work at the RFL?

Thats sounds like a crappy excuse that they would come up with.

My point was how he could get off based on his record as opposed to a player new to the league who therefore doesnt have a record to consider.

Correct, but Aus records ARE taken into consideration by our disciplinary so Lima's good record over there and the fact that it was his first game in this country so should have been given the BOD maybe a caution or Warning letter

I still dont get why Sam as been banned for running in! When all 26 players got invovled!! Not mention the person who threw the first punch doesnt get banned or the player he fights with!!

Radfords good discipline record gets him off a ban!!! So does that mean Sams got lots of previous for running in and striking??
