You must admit, your stance on pretty much anything Saints and especially KC carries a somewhat negetive skew - one that far transcends any reasonable club bias. How is it termed on these boards - "Obsessed"?

Well, I can instantly think of one who carried on playing with a fractured eye socket and cheekbone...

Who's that (genuine question - no idea!) and did he play the week after?

Shaun Edwards at Wembley. Not sure about the week after though. I would think not.

The one and only Shaun Edwards, in the 1990 Cup Final v Warrington. It was the last match of the season in those days, so no.

we did play a premiership match the week after but lost to Bradford.

Bilko hasn't got the team for that one but I'd bet that Edwards didn't feature.

| Quote FearTheVee="FearTheVee"So a load of newspaper articles that clearly didn't pick up on the official club statement are more reliable than the official club statement which categorically states that a specialist had confirmed he HADN'T fractured his eye socket?'"
You mean the ones that received the official press release rather than an unofficial website statement? BIG difference.
Quote FearTheVeeDo you know many other players who play the week after fracturing their eye socket? Got a link to Wakefield admitting they got it wrong in the original statement?'"
Try ringing them up. I did. They happily confirmed it was wrong.
Quote FearTheVeeNone of the links you provide have Wakefield saying he fractured his eye socket, my link categorically has them stating he didn't
'"
How about the article BY JAMES STOSIC HIMSELF? Forget that one?
Quote FearTheVeeBottom line is Wakey cried wolf to get KC banned, then backtracked because there was nothing wrong with Stosic and made out like he's some sort of hero for soldiering on to save face.'"
Bottom line is, a press release is much more reliable than a hurried statement on a website, and that is what the press would have written their reports from.
But then does it really matter whether Stosic was injured or not? Cunningham still punched him in the face like a thug. You can't argue that particular fact.

Nor have I tried to.
But if you think KC is at the front of the thug queue, you either haven't watched much rugby or are massively bitter. After playing in the front row for 16 years you can probably count his genuine indiscretions on one hand and I can't remember him ever being sent off (although I could be wrong there).
If lashing out with his ball carrying arm in a tackle is the worst you can come up with (for which he didn't receive a ban, given his exemplary disciplinary record) then that says a lot. Would you say Coley is a thug, given he's had a red card in 2010? What about Hock, with a ban for manhandling a ref? No? Thought not.

| Cunningham has been a great RL player for Saints and never a thug. My only complaint I have ever had with him, was taking the Rugby League loyalty money and then turning his back on England / GB.
He could and should have played for Wigan.

You actually rang the club, to try and see if KC had injured someone? That is incredibly sad and really bordering on obsession, a fact that seems to be being picked up by more and more people. Chill out! Stop your One Man crusade against all things Saints. It might help you live longer.
