Nice to see that a young Martin "Wolfie" Adams was around the Leeds Team back in the day in the second picture.

Luke's changing his last name by deed poll to Hunt.

Wolfie and Wolfer in that case then.



The tracksuit on the left belonging to AS and the wearer also has a passing resemblance.



(One for the vintage YCCC fans around here to play with.)

A great advert for the game is Isaac Luke.

In the light of his latest comments he should be given at least a season's ban!

Totally agree & to think he was allegedly considering an appeal!!!

Unbelievable.

....speechless

Total sugbag - this POS shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a rugby pitch as long as he draws breath.

I'd say a disrepute charge offers a tribunal the chance to atone for it's earlier error.



I'm a fan of the biff. I'm not a fan of that sort of rubbish. I can't remember ever having seen anything like that on a professional pitch before, and it needs dealing with properly. How long did Jon Hopoate get for his, ahem, digital indiscretion?

Disgrace.



But it's refreshing to see someone come out and say 'look i tried to break his leg' instead of the usual yawn-fest statements.



I think he was inspired by Blatter in the last part of his statement.

Frankly it's an unnecessary statement to make, as the intent was obvious to everyone who saw it.



That his "punishment" is to sit out a couple of friendlies he probably would have been rested for anyway reflects badly on the sport IMO.

I posted this on the Wigan forum



Regarding Isaac Luke's remarkable confession

I wonder what both Phil Clarke and his rugby gods will make of this?



Will he even bother to make a big issue of it?



If he doesn't it is clearly double standards IMO
