FLAILING TO REMOVE DEFENDERS??
It was a good couple of straight punches to the head.
The RFL are a disgrace and want to try to ensure wire win the league this year.

Apparently he has been warned for this, no further action, no fine, no ban, nothing!

What do you expect Jon? If they don't wear a cherry & pink shirt they all get off with just a smacked wrist

I think a warning's fair enough, it wasn't as bad as Lee Smith or Keith Senior kicking out against us, they should have been banned but got a warning and Amos got a warning after last week because it highlighted what can happen when you swing your elbows all over the place. Westwood was idiotic but if he'd been sent off it would have been a bit extreme. The wording might be nonsense but any other wording and its classed as fighting which is a one match ban. I don't want to see players getting banned all the time.

He deliberately punched Sam in the head, he got off at least three good shots, while Sam was in no position to defend himself.

The only reason it wasn't fighting was because fighting would imply it was Sam had thrown a punch back.

Did any of Westwoods punches land on Sam.
If there were it was only be the first one.
Westwood couldnt punch to save his life.
