Has thompson (jordan) got away with elbowing dwyer?

That was far worse

No intent by Holroyd. I suppose they might have gone down the route of calling it reckless though really that'd be entering the realms of pulling out any number of incidents resulting in injury. Just hope Brierley recovers quickly.

Not even a warning

Theres some people with a right agenda on social media, using a still shot trying to make out its some sort of dirty cheap assault and demanding action.

That don't surprise, it being the modern way. Pant wetting about nothing incidents appeals to some folk more than anything else in life it seems.

TBH if a defender is responsible for any contact with the head and that is deemed to be a penalty, they should be allowed to expect the same protection. attackers often get away with handoffs above the shoulder, as well as leading with the elbow. This should be treated the same way whether you're a defender or attacker

I agree about leading with the elbow but you can't take the hand off out of the game
