When he scored i noticed he gave the 2 finger salute but i thought that was towards the cas end and prob just some samoan/tongan/nz/whtever place he is from thing.

I thought the same.

Fair result, yes it was late but I don't think it was malicious so the right out come, that's not to say that I don't think the guy should have got 10 minutes for it, but hey we got the result Sam wasn't injured by it and that's all that matters

Plus we've got to remember guys, Sam is a dirty little **** who should just go and play ****** wendyball, the puff.

Yeah, the number of times he puts his face into a players shoulder or forearm when the ball's gone or after the whistle astounds me.

Widders only did what Usian Bolts been doing on BBC for 2 week





Pathetic RFL strikes again

Don't think it should matter that he wasn't injured. It was a late challenge off the ball and should have recieved AT LEAST a yellow, by them not punishing him they are saying it wasn't illegal, so it wouldn't have mattered wether he got injured or not, they don't rule on wether the player is injured

i think its right all things considered.

The problem was that the touch judge reported it was as sam "released the ball. " ~ (thanks to a scanner.)

that in mind, its a split second call, yellow card would have been about right nothing more.



Trouble is when you watch it again, it was well after he released the ball. He even takes another step into the challenge so he was not committed to the tackle.



It was not really worth a ban though so what can be done.



These things happen.

Good, Sergeant knew what he was doing, it was a late and dangerous hit. He doesnt necessarily deserve a ban, but at the least a reprimand.

Correct decision by the RFL.



However McGoulricks little dig after Sams first try went unpunished.

I'm sure I remember incidents in the past when players got more than a slapped wrist for making obscene gestures to the crowd.



He made no attempt to disguise it, and it was a prolonged gesture, not a flick of the wrist.
