I was about to congratulate the Warriors' fans good sense about the Newton 'incidents' until I saw Mrs Lam's last comment. I suppose we are all entitled to our opinion.MrsLam posted:
He said before the ban was given that it was an accidental collision, I hope they do reduce the sentence.
Mine it was that Newton deliberately used his elbow. I thought so at the time and every replay confirms it.
Nevertheless I think we all agree that there is no room in the game for the type of thuggery we saw on Friday.
Before anybody jumps on me, I do not condone deliberate head shots by any player at any club. That includes Saints, Leeds, even York.
Newton is a good rugby player, but he is a head case who loses control on the field. I hope a long ban will cool him down and make him think again. The same may need to apply to Jon Wilkin, Leon Pryce and others.
