Grow what? a bald skunk?

Growing skunk get get one in very serious trouble.

There's that colour again.



I just don't see that as a sending off offence in rugby league.

I would doubt even a fully tooled up SO19 squad wouldnt go into a house where someone was cultivating "Hair-piece" skunks.



Could be on to a winner G.

Well I agree, it is a yellow offence all the way for me and not Red, I agree this is not netball and I understand your point! But I am concerned that not punishing what was clear and deliberate pulling of hair (no matter how girlie the haircut) is inviting a potential problem that we don't currently have.



I know a few people are saying if you have long hair and it gets grabbed as part of what would otherwise be a legitimate tackle then fairs, fair and I agree, but he used his hair to deliberately effect a tackle. Sucker play and as it was no punished at the time by a yellow card he needs to get a one match ban... just one mind, or a large fine, if we are to maintain the integrity and spirit of the game. Well that is what I think!

Fair reply.



Didn't Huddersfield get the penalty anyway?



A penalty would suffice for me in the first instance and I would only consider the use of the sin bin if there were other offences occurring at the same time by way of committing a professional foul.



A warning letter (highlighting the issue generally) and no ban should be sufficient punishment at this point.

Tadulala gets away with it.

Ok, I would go with that over a ban or fine if the RFL gave him a suspend ban or fine if he commits the offence again in the next twelve months. I would also think that the RFL should be saying that if anyone else does something similar (which is more than likley what you meant by highlighting the issue generally) in future they would advise ref's to give yellow for a deliberate hair-pull's. It is like biting for me (although I agree less severe), it was just a cowards play and I don't think we should be afraid to say so.

I wish he kicked off a bit more. Tadulala would have smashed the big girl.

Thats not hair pulling thats a playfull touch, if you want to see hair pulling as it should be done go round Halifax at kicking out time and see hair pulling as it should be done.

You're trying to intimate Tadulala is some sort of hard man when the whole incident in discussion involves him pulling hair.



Guffaw.
