ckn Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I personally have deleted the video FOUR times from this site, three times on threads nothing to do with the guy. $deity knows how many times John has done it. This site has always aimed for PG rating. Seeing that on the site is 100% most definitely not PG. The brawls thread was fine, just, it did the job and may be a bit out of date with modern rugby league, but it was one we had shrugged at and let go. TOO many times though people just could not, and would not, listen on the subject. We've made the choice that it's now a taboo subject because people will not stop posting the video.

Hopping Mad Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Not one I witnessed but I do remember the 'York Brawl', during a late 1980s game at Clarence Street, between York and (I think) Dewsbury, generating a lot of publicity. Anyone at the match? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jughead Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 There was something potentially libellous in the original thread, which was likely the reason for the deletion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Stottle Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Leigh v Halifax at the LSV it was either '14 or '15, a reet good set to. Karl Harrison was the Fax coach and I am sure he was shouting to his lads to get stuck in from the touchline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one where Sam Barlow feigned injury and was texting the Fax lads later that nite giving them a bit of banter. Also Dane manning is just someone who you can't imagine it would be fun to fight, he just looks like he could literally fight for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blues Ox Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74AvoLF30kE&t=54s I love how nobody has eyes on Manning and he is allowed to creep round the back and start it again. Ps. how do I enbed the videos? Edited February 16, 2023 by The Blues Ox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very puzzling policy decision from the mods. Cone of Silence. Rugby league story makes it into Daily Mail, Sun exclusive interview, and even onto LBC yet is somehow not even allowed to be discussed on a specialist rugby league forum, linked to the "trade press". I fully understand that idiots posting links to the video were way out of line, but to actively block all discussion of the game's biggest story is beyond strange. Only my opinion though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
