Just prior o the contact Lisone had transitioned the ball from his left hand into his right hand with hi elbow tucked into his body. The natural reaction of any player would be to bring your elbow away from your body as you are running, this "promoted" hi elbow into the tackle.

it wasn't just Wilkin. The commentary team of Wilson & Amor effectively tried to condem him before the try had been converted.

said at the time no case to answer

Amor and Wilkin love the sensationalism.
Like I said if Lisone`s forearm hit Russells head at that pace Russell would still be unconscious now.
However I`m sure if Russell play acted like others have done Lisone would have been sent off and the try disallowed.
I reckon the reason he didn`t play dead was that he knew he`d been hit fairly in the chest at the time.

I'm not sure why I should be upset. I said it was accidental & not malicious, but thought it was a red under the current rules. It was hardly Mick Cassidy on Adrian Morley.

Yeah agree. The defender has got his head in a vulnerable position, Lisone is an aggressive big man and he's raised the elbow on him - probably a bin or red under current rules but otherwise file under "racing incident".

I'm just glad the judiciary has come to its senses after the first couple of months of madness.
