Mossops punch was brilliant

Thought it was Farrell who dropped him at the end, will have to check the replay

Shame it came down to sendings off though, ruined the game and whats wrong with a bit of biff??

Quite annoyed that after that incident I lost count of how many high tackles Jon Wilkin got penalised for and nothing was done about it...

LMS was just as bad as Hock in that incident and they both should have gone.. Can't blame Tuson for swinging back after being hit from behind by that coward. That lack of composure could cost us big in the next few weeks if a few players are suspended. I feel a bit let down by that incident because we could have put a lot of points on them otherwise. However it just shows how pathetic Saints are at the minute that even when it was 12 against 11 they still didn't look like bothering us. Wellens was shown up tonight and Wheeler... absolutely awful

I agree with you on all points.

I agree with the lad (Tuscon) defending himself but he went too far with the haymakers he threw, a bit OTT for me.

FWIW I think hock will get sending off sufficient, but Tuscon and Mossop a couple of games each I think, plus with Mciloroms record (Recent Ban) he could be looking at at least one for the high shot.

Leeds fan in wanting as many players suspended for Friday shocker

Mossop? Seems harsh. Lockers - who had clearly gone in to break things up - received a punch in the face. I think the time for attempting to reason with Magennis had passed!

I'm sure the unbiased disciplinary panel, which is made up overwhelmingly of Yorkshire based members (how the RFL think they can get away with this without anyone noticing is beyond me, but this is the organisation that has recently made a substantial loan to Bradford Bulls whilst standing by while we lost CP and while Saints struggled for years to build a new stadium) will deal with this in the usual way...







We'd probably be no worse off if Ryan Bailey was the sole judge and jury...

Mossop has a clean disciplinary record I think so a ban would be pretty harsh for what was a heat of the moment thing and his first offence.

Tuson will hopefully be let off with a caution. He threw a few punches too many but he was entitled to defend himself initially and on a hot day in a fiery moment it's easy to go too far. His disciplinary record isn't too bad either.

Hock will probably get a ban as he's had a couple of bans previously for fighting. Anything more than two matches would be harsh though.

F.....all

I have to say it did ruin the game but I loved every bit of it! LMS wanted his head on the outside of the scrum but packed down wrong. He came under hocks face and the heads rubbed together and bingo, bit of biff.

Tuson and the coward we're face to face holding each others shirt and nothing. As soon as Tuson turned round the coward let fly. Tuson had no choice but to fight back. Mossop stayed out of it until right at the end when he put the coward on his hoop!

The sad part is next week. We're likely to have hock, Micky Mac, Tuson, Hansen, Prescott, flower and Fielden all missing!

That would leave us very light up front.

Just watched the fight back, Magennis deserves a lengthy ban. Not just for punching Tuson when he had turned away, but he gave lockers one right in the mush for trying to break it up and I'm pretty sure he was trying to go for Mossop before he put him on his back side. He was trying to punch anyone within reaching distance. I won't argue If Hock gets a ban, His record certainly won't help but I think in Tuson's case a red card should be sufficient, and hopefully Mossops clean record should mean he's ok too. Although this is the RFL so probably all get game or 2 each... I still don't see why LMS should be getting away scott free. And I still fail to see this "head butt" from Hock. Looked like LMS was putting his face right up against Hock. Not that I'm excusing Hock punching him. The saints fans are foaming at the mouth about the "scum bag" but must have missed Magennis throwing cowardly punches like it was going out of fashion.

Magennis. Scum.

I dont think LMS threw a punch did he?
Hock was throwing in some very sly punches in that might not have been seen by the ref/cameras.

Magennis was shocking. Very cowardly.
Rather not see him play for Saints ever again to be honest.

I've watched it a few times and it's pretty much handbags between LMS and Hock. (Certainly not seen this 'headbutt' that's been mentioned). I think this would have been two yellows had Magennis not descended it to a full on brawl.

LMS stook his head into Gaz, Gaz reacted badly. IMO both should of got a sin binning, thats all. As for Tuson and Magennis, both deserved a red, Magennis more so

Not sure Tuson deserved anything to be quite honest unless he did something I didnt see? maybe a yellow to calm him down but I dont blame him one bit for his reaction.

Tuson deserved a red card for that hair cut!

Your probably right mate. It'd should of been a sin bin for both. Some leniency has to be taken into account, especially in derby games

did Thaler call it as a weekly round match when it should have been a derby match?

What is it with LMS and these derby games? I get the impression he's trying to ingratiate himself with the St. Helens fans by constantly looking to get involved in these incidents. There was a high shot from him after the biff. He was also looking for it on Good Friday and in the game at Widnes he made a pretty pathetic attempt at goading Wigan fans.
Him and Hock should've got 10 minutes. Magennis and Tuson correct red cards. I don't blame Tuson for reacting, but he did give him a good pasting.

It was unusual to see the red card given out when yellows could have sufficed for Tuson and Magennis, but that was one cowardly act from Magennis.

newt wrong with a bit of biff as long as there's 2 willing participants going hell for leather, shouldn't have got red carded as it takes the sting out of the game, if they were all sin binned and came back onto the pitch 10mins later after they had cooled down that would have added spice to the game.

From what I saw LMS was holding Hock, but Hock was swinging uppercuts at him. Didn't see LMS throw a punch but could be completely wrong (I watched the match through mainly glazed, depressed eyes!

)

Magennis' was a sh*thouse act and Tuson had every right to retaliate IMO.

Great performance from Wigan and Wane had it spot on post-match: a real tough, committed team you have there, with no little skill. The sendings off saved us from a 60 point hiding.

Fair play.
