i came on and didn't see 10 threads all anouncing it so thought it was new!

I agree with this, is was a fight, to get banned is just pathetic. Tompkins gets away scot free. There's justice.

Should have got a key to the city for punching that w!t.

Just dont understand how the RFL work out bans, they must just draw lots.

Seems to me that you understand the process perfectly

No appeal against Tickle's ban by the sound of it: www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... ticle.html

I'm going to have to watch the incident again because the sheer number of complete morons from the east who claim that not only were the Rovers players pretty much guilt free from the fight but also seemed to kick seven shades of $h1te out of the FC players is too high to be just an issue of a lack of intelligence. Perhaps Sky altered the pictures (like the Arnie film - Running Man) and Cockhead only went to shake Calderwoods hand but after the entire FC team and coaching staff tried to take him on he had no choice but to reluctanty rip all of their heads off as gently as possible.

The more I watch this incident I don't think Cockayne did anything at all initially except try to tackle Calderwood as he picked up the loose ball from Latus's knock on.

I can't hear the ref's whistle so don't know if he was about to play advantage?

Calderwood reacted badly and swung out.....then it all kicked off!

Does anybody know who sat on the disciplinary panel? Presumably non had any links or affinity with either Hull club?

I have a very similar view (in terms of angles) to the cameras and what seemed to me to happen was that Latus knocked on, Calders went to pick the ball up, knocked on too and then Cockayne came in with a hit on Calders, which would have been fair if he'd had the ball (I don't know if he could have pulled out of it). Not sure if the whistle had gone by the time of the hit. Calders didn't like the hit and pushed Cockayne, who reacted by throwing a couple of punches.

After that I was on my feet shouting "chin him Calders" or words to that effect, so I can't remember the rest

Didnt the monkey on the right once coach rovers?

Cant believe grown men taking 10 pages to discuss who hit who and how often!!
maybe this is the real issue on this forum, the average mental age of some posters!!
if you throw punches in todays SL you get banned , simples!!

Apart from Watts and Moa......

If only it was 'simples'. Unfortunately some players get away with punches and worse whereas others don't.

I think the panel want to get out more ..Boot an All the tries .. Big Barry stated an awesome game best one he has seen it have everything even a fight .. All the Sports writers gave the game 5 out of 5 ..Red Hall must be short of cash ..The set of miserable bar stewards It was a Derby for god sake

I would agree IF it had carried on after the final hooter had gone ..The players hugged one another ..I dont think one fan didn't expect the game to go on without a bit of biff

Utter rubbish, simples!!

I don't knwo if this has been mentioned - I haven't read the full thread - but Cockayne and Watts both pleaded not guilty to the charges, and Moa and Tikcle both pleaded guilty.

Tomkins also pleaded not guilty. Should have got a ban for his cheek never mind the tackle!

Cockayne would its part of his lifestyle to be a thug ..He will never learn

Seems like that was very bad advice. They should get a decent lawyer to advise in the future.

Do you know one? I'm struggling to think of one that would be based in Hull (for convenience) and with an interest in RL.
