GUBRATS Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 So you do something that doesn't actually hurt or injure somebody and you get 9 games , and yet you can deliberately go out to injure , actually injure and get nothing or much less A rethinking of the rules of the sport is overdue IMO Definatly a result for Mr Bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No player, no matter what has happened, should Touch a player who is on the floor. Action is lucky just to get a 9 game Ban and that Greg Bird has not received any serious injury from the event.

daz39 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Leigh fans will always defend thuggery, it's how they think RL should be judging by what i've seen from them in the last few years !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, to be fair Rob there is very little condemnation from Leigh fans on this thread. From a neutral watching it was truly awful to see.

From a neutral watching it was truly awful to see. You'll find plenty of it on dedicated Leigh forums. It's a deserved ban absolutely no question, do I think it's a little harsh in severity? Maybe, but I can see why they've made an example because it was dumb and reckless and I certainly don't want to wade too deep into any debate on it, because the hysteria that tends to crop up with these types of incedents (on both sides of the argument I might add) usually leaves little room for rational discussion.

The example thing is exactly right I think. It is less of a foul play thing and more of a line being crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
