Can we please stop calling it a "king hit"
It is a cowards punch. Schofield wasn't expecting it. It was behind play.
Hawkins should have got a couple given where the punch occurred. The fact Schofield wasn't wrapping his arms around Hawkins after the game should be enough to see it was a **** act.
Agree
If Hawkins was trying to block or shepherd Schofield he would have used his left arm, not swing his right arm across his body as if he was swinging a handbag.
