"The Committee feel that Mr Tuson is clearly blindsided by a complete shlthouse in this instance and that his initial reactions were an attempt to defend himself. The panel do however believe Mr Tuson’s reaction went further than necessary but take into account the significant level of provocation in this instance. The panel give credit to Mr Tuson for his guilty plea, good disciplinary record, and for initially avoiding a confrontation. Therefore the panel wish to downgrade this offence to a Grade B offence and feel that a 1 match suspension and £300 fine are in order."
Perfectly summed up and while prehaps this was not said by the RFL, this was probably part of their thinking
Tuson deserves no more than 1 in all honesty, and while yes he may have gone a little far by giving magennis a pasting and putting him in place as his bitch
magennis got his just deserts for his cowardice and sh1thousing!
Saints fans should think themselves lucky magennis didn't get more and LMS has escaped suspension over this incident. Magennis was clearly out of control throwing punches at whoever was near him - Tuson with his back turned, and then SOL, but only when he was being held by Meli.
The fact magennis took a pasting off tuson and then got floored by one punch off Mossop was poetic justice for thinking he was rugby leagues version of Joey Barton....he got everything he deserved...a pasting and a lienient three match ban for it...imo he was that out of control 4-6 would have been more appropriate!
