Very stupid action and disappointing to see him joking about it on Twitter.

He'll pick up a couple of matches ban again and I hope the club fine him too on top of anything from the RFL. It's infuriating because on his day he can be the best prop in Super League.

Let's put this Luke Gale play acting to bed shall we. Gale was knocked out and failed the concussion test and was unable to return. Leaving us with no goal kicker. It did not benefit us having Gale off the field. It wasn't the worst tackle you'll see but he got a 2 game ban on top of his red. He obviously has major issues with discipline. The majority of players won't get sent off 4 times in their 15 year career let alone 4 times in 11 months.

McShane didn't seem bothered when he charged in and kneed Gale in the bonce.

How come it was widely reported that Gale failed a head test 24 hours before playing Wigan 6 days later.
If true, he would never have been allowed to play against Wigan, making me wonder why Gale didn't return in the Hull game.

Made himself look more of an idiot with that comment

Only if you're a humourless, grey little man.

watts was stupid and will rightly cop a ban but crosby wasn't hurt at all whereas faurimo was knocked clean out, has suffered a brain injury and will miss at least a week of rugby. I'll bet that watts gets a longer ban than patton though

It doesn't excuse Watts I know, but if Thaler had been on top of his job and penalised Crosby like he should have done for interfering with Watt's and not allowing him to play the ball, there wouldn't have a problem.

As pointed out, Gale played within 6 days and hence did not fail the concussion test.

Watts is a good player but is sadly as thick as thuk

In a televised tv game why would he ever wish to do that?
A lengthy ban awaits for the regular at Red Hall this past year



If he ever wants to progress his career and to be an International player then he urgently needs to engage his brain otherwise he will always be remembered as Numb Nuts

For me thats the tragedy of it all. He's got the lot but will throw it all away if he continues like this.
Not sure if it's been mentioned before but soes any one think connor ratchets things up and then takes a back seat while others get sent of. certainly seemed the case against Wire.

Of course it’s only ever the s squeaky clean types that get the international call ups (Morley, McDermott, Newton, Mason, etc)

It was stupid , but no way as bad as the patton sending off, the game had stopped and he took a cheap shot in frustration when hed just relaxed. Like jake said watts will probably get the bigger ban. And agree with watts , that was no headbutt, he bumped his head into crosby with no real intent to cause damage , didnt affect crosby at all

Not at all.

Jake has always been like that and long may it continue.

He started winding Hill up after Patton got sent off and Hill stood there arguing with the ref.

That had all cooled down when Watts had his brain explosion.

It shows how far down the pecking order Watts is when Scott Taylor gets a trip to OZ rather than him

Watts is a good player with a nice offload game in him but he certainly lacks the brains and application to make it as an international player judging by his current efforts shown,A bit like his best buddy Westerman

You are good with copy and paste, that's the 3rd thread you have posted the same thing on.

That's the difference between a reckless tackle and a needless calculated act of violence.

Also of course if either culprit is a serial offender that will also be taken into account. All in all I think you are on a safe bet that Watts will get the longer ban.

4 matches I would think

A light headbutt is grade A-B, maximum for this is 2 matches, so this is what he will get.

8 matches

link?
I was expecting 4 given his past record but 8 matches, that's utterly ludicrous if true!

Got 3 matches

3 matches. Probably about right.

Bet he wishes he'd just laid him out if it was going to cause this much bother.




Bring back the biff!
