Flower hit a player who is about a foot smaller and 10 stone lighter whilst he was out cold (after being punched by Flower). Garbutt punched a fellow prop because he saw him slap his mate. Huge difference.

If you did pretty much most of the things you see on a rugby field out in town centre at night I'm sure you'd be in trouble.

Tamou was getting a bit roughed up on the floor, got up to play the ball, and gave Galloway a slap/tap of the side of the face, Galloway did not respond. Penalty for Leeds end off.

But no the Yorkshire THUG Garbett planted a haymaker on a player that was not expecting it and his nose was broken.

But the RFL just give him a 2 match ban , which gives cart blanch for any other player in the super league to do the same to any other player and only get a 2 match ban.
He Garbutt was lucky, he only broke his nose and not his jaw or cheeckbone or eye socket for that matter.

Yep, you're from Buxton alright. Or are you one of the Mancs they dumped in that crapy estate in Fairfield?

Still find it funny that some people are WAY more bothered than the cowboys coach who just laughed about it

Reading through the replies, you would think Tamou had knocked the innocent Galloway out, and Garbutt had run in to save the day.

The reality, Galloway throughout the game had been taking things to far on the ground, giving facials and choking players, causing pushing and shoving on a few occasions which escalated into Tamou giving him a little slap on the cheek in the last ten mins.

That's as far as it would have gone until Garbutt runs in and sucker punches, yes it was a sucker punch and breaks Tamou nose.

Anyone who thinks a sucker punch is acceptable epitomises the culture that needs to be stamped out of RL.

Rubbish.

Go watch golf or something if you don't want tempers boiling over.

No its gone more professional... in rugby there is barely a punch thrown anymore due to automatic sin binning. If you like sucker punching, fighting etc, maybe time to follow a different sport.
