Robert T wants to know if there will be any fights tonight.
I don't support this fascination with fighting, anyone who does should read "Boy on Ice - The life & Death of Derek Boogard"
Robert Farmer of the Panthers supposedly losing all his fights is a candidate for the same problems unless they monitor him closely
That said the issue is the same with rubgy theses days with 18st centres
I played at 18st but at least I was a prop
