mike cooper-play off suspension

[Barry Badrinath]

One game

[Live after death]

Harsh! Mist people thought it was a yellow at best.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

So he misses the whole of Warrington's play off run?  Shame.

[Bring back the Boyd]

I would have thought sending off sufficient—I’m wondering whether his uncle was allowed to sit in on this one

[Dallas Mead]

Extremely harsh, he hit Watts with his bicep fgs!

Are you allowed to hit players in the face with your biceps?

[haskey]

No

[Dave T]

I thought it was a yellow card really, but I can't have too many complaints. It was a bit reckless and we are either serious about protecting heads or not. I thought there was enough of a mitigant for sending off sufficient, but also not surprised with 1 match.

One game is about right.

Jut took a look at Q-vee and, guess what, this is proof of a game wide anti-St Helens conspiracy.

You'd do better ignoring RedVee, like most Saints fans do these days. Last time I looked it was just kids, adults acting like kids, conspiracy nuts and trolls left on there.

I dunno, I enjoy a bit of Rugby League ignorance matched with self-pitying paranoia and far right nationalism. It's a heady brew.

Its an echo chamber, for the entitled and arrogant 

 

My favourite was Liam Moore being the best ref when he stopped wire from all our gamesmanship and stuff, then a week later he was the worst ref ever when they lost

[Barry Badrinath]

That being said, check out this belter from this morning 

 

I always remember Cooper going into Walmsleys neck with his forearm when he had just returned from his spinal injury, Cooper is a dirty player when the opportunity comes his way

It's why I stopped posting on there. A shame really because it used to be a decent place for a debate.

Agreed one game seems fair. Accounts for the fact that it was a high shot with direct contact to the head and also that Watts did fall into the tackle.

It was only a matter of time

Which is immaterial really since he hit him in the head with his bicep at Wheldon Road.

It was a poor attempt and deserved what it got. Most people can see that but you can’t. Go figure.

[Cheshire Setter]

I guess one game is about right in the current climate for braced-arm contact with the head. I really don't think it could have been intentional as Watts slipped downwards at the last minute. If that hadn't happened it would have been a good hit.

I'm surprised that Watts' own effort near the end of the game didn't get at least a yellow. I think Ashton stood up too quickly when he should have been sad-fishing the referee.
