I'm not sure about the incident as I didn't get a great view. It "looked" stupid from where I was sat, but then you can never tell. Hopefully video evidence will show that first contact was on the arm.



However, why did Lockers agree to allow JT to take the ball in from the penalty in the first place? Madness.



Failing this why didn't some of the senior players stand up and prevent it? e.g. Hoffman?

Whenever something like that happens and both players remain on the pitch, the person involved almost always takes the ball in first.

Only if they are calm in the "head" department.

Bang on for me too. Maybe we should have a team full of fairies the way some people are shooting him down.

Did they ban Ablett for that hit on sam last year? If they didnt (which i dont remember them doing) then they cant fairly ban Joel. One rule for acts commited by wigan one for acts against Wigan.

Ablett got three matches.

Did he? I cudda sworn people were on here moaning that he didnt. Either way it went unpunished card wise on the pitch and was much worse so surely joel should get no more than 1 match.

People would moan on here had Ablett got the death penalty because they wouldn't have liked the method.



Given the two incidents were completely different and not even in the same season, never mind game, I'm not sure how you arrive at your conclusion.

Because it was a worse incident and he didnt get binned or sent off. Its called a comparison you should try it one day. This is a forum for opinions and thats mine.

And remember, there is no love lost between Cooke and Hull FC.

Just watched the highligts of the game on SLTV and my first impression (after only watching it once) was that he led with the elbow. Thats all that Ganson had to look at too, one look. It looked dangerous. Maybe with repeat viewings from a thousand angles we might be able to say otherwise but on the day at the time it was the correct decision

Put your handbag down dear. If you want to use comparisons you need them to be similar. For a start Ablett was charged with a grade C offence, Tomkins has been charged with a grade B.
