Whereas most of the Wire fans have been expectorating. Chips.

Since Van de Velde left! We were well and truly in the poop when he left and continued to be so until 2004/2005.

Glad he got banned....and anyone thinking the punishment is harsh needs to look at the big picture.

Anyone thinking this is "harsh" needs their head examined. Newton got more for a much less severe (and actually legal) shoulder charge on Long a few years ago, this looked like it had intent to cause injury.

A year would have been more like it. And he probably would have got that much if this had been National League 1.

Why are Super League suspensions so pitiful?

Mogg's was only a grab, but Westwood's was a swinging arm and should of been sent off. He deserves a five match ban.

Grow up, or shall we talk about Bridge's nasty little altercation with the police the other year? I know the full story on this one and it makes Latu look like a choir boy.

As it happens Latu didn't break the womens jaw, he didn't actually punch her by all accounts. She recieved a broken nose and there is some debate as to how she got that! Of course you were there and you will know the full story.

Now I'm no expert on the Australian penal code but I'd guess for him to recieve community service only, the judge must have found mitigating circumstances. Or are you one of these clowns who loves to claim all women are innocent and are not capable of playing a massive part in these events. I suggest you get out of your box and go around any town centre on a friday night and visit the real world.

There are a lot better people in this world than Leo Latu, there are also a lot worse. From what I know a stretch inside would have been OTT, that said he probably deserved more than he got. Luckily for him his punishment was not decided by the loons who inhabit the VT...THANK GOD.

Put simply two wrongs don't make a right, and Latu's action have no bearing on Westwood at all.

Move on.
