eh? What you on about Richie??

Re: Menzie charged : Thu Sep 08, 2011 12:03 pm  

Is he not badly hurt ?

Re: Menzie charged : Thu Sep 08, 2011 12:20 pm  

He looked well enough running rings around the widnes defence on sunday!!! Why??
His ears were ringing for a few days in the week tho and he looked well out of sorts Sunday/Monday.

Is it only if a player gets seriously hurt or killed he should be found guilty?? Do you think the tackle was acceptable Richie??

It was a crap tackle that Yere got wrong Richie. Nowt more than that. You know it, I know it and despite his protestations on Yere's behalf (I would expect any coach worth his salt to do likewise), the Tubster knows it!
1-2 matches is about right I think. If his track record had been a bit tidier, I think he may have got a one game ban. I wouldn't have moaned at that either.

I agree with you, it was a bad tackle and the video seems to back that up, he deserved a ban, one game would've maybe sufficed but don't think we can have too many grumbles. We'll certainly miss him, will probably mean Misi playing in the centres alongside Corey Hanson with Jonny at fullback.

Incidentally RFF, how do you see the first week of the playoffs panning out? Who would you prefer to see go through?

Re: Menzie charged : Thu Sep 08, 2011 12:46 pm  

Sheffield will hammer Widnes. They are pants. The heart and soul of that squad went some time ago - the whole club is gearing up for next season and see what's left of the championship as a hinderance they can't wait to dispense with.
Batley v Fax is another matter. Batley have the upper hand over fax BUT, Fax are the big game team and have proved it so often against us. Difficult to call. I sincerely hope Batley win as any team winning the GF would be prefered than fax, - but, I think Fax will win it.
Then it's you lot v Fax. Depends which Sheffield team turns up but I don't think either of them will beat Leigh in the final qualifier.
If it's Fax v Fev in the final qualifier if we fail to beat Leigh next thursday, there will be a niggle in everyone's mind....... a niggle at this point I do not want to adress - my blood pressure isn't up to it.

Yes. Several times.
I think there may even be a clip of it on the Fev forum.
I suggest you go and have a gander seeing as you have formed your opinion of the incident and disagreed with the panel and other interested parties based on you seeing it once, some 60-70m away from the incident and in "real time" only?
