Delon Armitage was condemned on here for his gestures in the process of scoring a try but it seems strange that no one is up in arms on here about North's gesture towards Genia while scoring his try. Is this a case of double standards?

Has North acquired the traits required to be a Saints player already?

I have to admit it has surprised me that there has barely been anything said about it, it was almost identical to what Delon did but i believe that Delon only got picked up on what he did because of his past disciplinary record and everybody loves to make a fuss when the "bad guys" strike again, On the positive side i think North actually apologized within a few days whereas it took Delon about a week didn't it ?

I commented at the time that it ruined a good try; it wasn't necessary.

KPJ has got it right though; North's record and expeditious apology were in his favour.

Armitage also abused Brian Moore after he expressed his opinion on Twitter and only apologised after it became clear he came across as a fool.

North has apologised and the rest of the Lions have been giving him some since(can't remember where I read it to post a link, might have been the beeb).

Personally, I don't care about bit of taunting. Mind games always play a part in sport, and far too much has been made of what Delon and George have done.

I always used to say "welcome to the game" when I made a hit on my opposite man and who remembers David Campese waving the ball at the cover defense when they tried and failed to get across to him?
