Gareth Hock v London Broncos in 2005?

Like a flying kung-fu kick IIRC...

It was Martin Aspinwall on Jon Wells, kung-fu style kick to the lower stomach, Aspinwall must have thought he was Chuck Norris

Nothing funny about the RFL's response though, claiming there was insufficient evidence to charge him despite the incident being shown in all its Bruce Lee stylee glory on Sky Sports. I was stood on the terrace at Griffin Park at the time and it's one of the strangest incidents I've ever seen in a RL match.

Joe Lydon's hit on Paul Bishop in the Challenge cup final. Wigan v Warrington 1990ish?

Kelvin Skerret on Jarrod McCracken Saints Wigan Boxing Day 1992.

Skerret ran full bore with the point of this elbow straight into McCrackens Jaw.

The only time I have seen the club doctor run straight onto the pitch without being asked.

just watched that again - shocking assault.

That was the game that McCracken kicked Steve Hampson in the goolies - early on in the first half; then later in the 2nd half, when it all kicked off again following a downfield kick, he returned the kick by running 50m directly into the fight zone and got stuck in.

quite rightly they didnt show it, as they didnt show many replays on SKY - we dont want incidents like that being highlighted to the world when we are trying to promote a family friendly sport.

So five times wasnt enough for you???

a lot less than they normally show moments of interest, and they didnt repeat it at half time or at the end of the game.

funnily enough, the one that really stuck in my mind that night was the assualt on Gilmour earlier in the game. It was only when I got home and watched the tape that I realised he had done the same to Long.

Willie Mason on Long in the Tri Nations was pretty bad.

Never seen the Sonny Nickle one, but I believe it was a shocker.

Goulding on Cowie wasnt that bad, no injury resulted, it was only made worse by the fact there was a 20 man brawl live on BBC1.

Gouldings was on Henry Paul wasnt it?
