A knee injury? How strange!

And, although it won't happen, the perpetrator should get double.

The disciplinary seem to show few REAL teeth to get the thugs to either change their attitudes or their techniques.

Ah well, thats my 10 pennuth on the subject.

Not really. It's not uncommon for knee injuries to occur after someone is knocked out, with their muscles 'relaxing' and ligament-damaging twists occurring. Jason Smith suffered the same sort of injury a few years ago, coincidentally after an attack by another Warrington player, Paul Noone.

Didn't you see how he landed? He was out cold and couldn't position himself in a protective manner of any kind.

I wonder if Benny Westwood has been studying Ade Morley's tackling style?

The coach who replaces Lowes will need to look at this matter closely.

I remember that "attack" FFS

He'd not been on the field for very long and hit with a perfectly legal shot and the injury occurred, although listening to the Hull fans and commentators on BBC Humberside you'd think he was a mass murdered.

So how many games did Noone get....... none
Was a penalty given............. no
Did he appear before the RFL after the incident was reviewed.... No

Case closed
