Even watching it again I don't think he did it to inflict injury, more to roll him over. However, players have a responsibility for the safety of others. Its as reckless as a mistimed high shot and deserves a ban. Danny's son Bunning was probably because her received a warning not long before.

On a positive, well done Keinhorst. Tackled his balls off and showed some good touches with the ball (2 assists and a try). Who would have thought he was a better 2nd row prospect than Walters. It was shocking how Abdul did him for pace to set up their last try.

absolutely this. there was never a question of what the result of his actions would be.


As others have said, Walters has been poor in defence in the few games he's had - and it's probably why Brian McDermott was hesitant to bring him on against Cas.
I'd say I wouldnt be suprised to see him drop out of the 17 on Friday, but with the new injuries would we have a replacement?
Mulhern back from Hunslet, and hope Delaney is fit?

Also, anyone know who got Man of the Match today?

keinhorst I believe

He was trying to slow him down, it a split second you don't have time to think, he made the wrong decision, but I don't believe for one second that Sneyd has deliberately tried to injury McGuire.

possibly not but he was reckless. why roll him? he should cop a long ban

Sneyd must be a bit dim if he thought his actions would not result in pain and possible injury.

No doubt "he was only trying to slow down the PTB" will be offered as mitigation. The criteria though is whether he does something that involves a significant risk of injury, and you would have to be some sort of idiot to think that didn't involve a very significant risk of injury to McGuire.

I cant argue with that. showed really good hands and speed of thought for the tries, and put in some really good defence.
I thought Ward had a great game again today, and both Sinny and McGuire were very good

Hardaker and Ablett were in my list too.

Overdramatising much?

Just as bad as the heel hook by the guy in Championship One for me, should have been a straight red and should cop the same 12+ game suspension.

I haven't seen the championship one incident, do you have a link to the video.

Chase got 8 matches for a much worst tackle and had much more previous than Sneyd.
