Disciplinary strike again.

[Loiner]

Joe Greenwood 2 games, Alex Mellor 2 games, ridiculous decision.

Didn’t watch the Leeds game but as a Saints fan, I reckon two is probably about right for Greenwood and would have expected that had it been Lees on Greenwood.

In my humble opinion Mellors tackle was late and deserved a ban, ok so he got 2 matches but Greenwoods was a lot worse he went with intent it wasn't just late. He should have received 3-4 games at least.

I thought the Greenwood incident was wicked (old fashioned wicked I mean) and I think 2 matches is too lenient.

Greenwood was a straight red on the night. If that was in the town centre he'd have gotten 12 months in prison

I've never understood this line of thinking.

Putting a "big hit" on someone on the street would attract a sentence. The very nature of rugby, played within the limits wouldn't be okay to do on a night out in a town centre. 

Also, you definitely wouldn't get 12 months in prison. It was a high tackle; the type that happens in rugby and he's been banned. Stop pearl clutching.

Greenwood is a Wigan player and should have been banned for life

Not taking issue with your argument Andy but what does pearl clutching mean? I've never heard that saying before.

I took it as condemnation of Tommy Makinson's and Tom Lineham's actions. Seems like a posh term for 'squirrel grip'

It refers to that trope of the old woman clutching at her pearl necklace when confronted with something that attacks her sensibilities and has become a phrase to refer to people who go a bit OTT with their outrage.

Why would someone be running towards Greenwood holding a rugby ball in a town centre?

[my missus]

i though greenwood hardly hit him he was saved by the shoulder charge of singelton which knocked him back before greenwood could get a proper hit in.
