They want to lighten up, if you ask me.
Whilst we should guard against any cowardly attacks and "running in", good old fashioned stand up fistycuffs shouldn't be frowned upon quite so much. Besides - everyone likes seeing a bit of rough and tumble from time to time.

Exactly, they say it's a family sport and there is no place for it, but It's also a full blooded, full contact, full passion sport. It's not exactly going to scare families away, I remember going as a small child watching the likes of Skerrett throwing punches, it was a exhilarating and made me a fan for life! (not that I wouldn't have been anyway) but I loved the punch ups!

Too right, cheap shots or "dog shots" should be clamped down on, but its a mans game, so there's no point pissing your pants when two guys decede they're going to throw down.

This thread is hilarious. You lot are as paranoid as Wane - and not a single one of you saw the incident

It wasn't a fight, it was barely even a fracas. The Cas pigeon fancier windmilled like a tart in the general direction of Ablett, then our enforcer stepped up to sort matters.
Owen sin-binned. Probably get a fine, no biggie.

I think a lot of it is tongue in cheek. From what your saying and putting the incident against Saints it sounds like Owen was Hock and Ablett was LMS. With a sin bin sufficient. However the Tuscon and the meaningless Saints player...

The RFL let you off for cheating the salary cap, they let us off for handbags.

Nah, we both got the same punishment - we got Millward.

The difference is we had the sense to get rid.
