[QUOTE="coonor, post: 550917, member: 39776"] This action was thuggish, but Healy's not a thug. Would you say Tana Umaga was a thug, surely his action was far worse then Healy's previous misdemeanours. I for one would say Umaga and Healy simply lost there heads under pressure, that doesn't make them thuggish people. Also what bugs me is that suddenly people seem to just push other players who similarly, like most players have times of bad behahaviour aside, claiming they're simply "gritty" or have a "hard edge". Let's take Julian White for example, people go on about him as a brilliant rough and traditional prop. What makes him less thuggish than Healy? Similarly O'Connell has had moments of violence but he's considered by many as a tough leader. The list goes on and on, you should be very careful how you judge people based on simple acts of stupidity whilst under pressure. [/QUOTE]
