Quote: St pete "I think any honest rugby league player will say that's what happens in rugby. He didn't mean to do it, he didn't attack his shoulder and IMO from how I saw it, he was committed.
Now if he'd gone out to injure him or it was clear cut he was late then fair enough but it's a 50/50 call in that type of tackle.
Im sure some saddo will have timed how long the ball had gone before he hit him.
Saintsfan is now sat at home with sky+ on and stop watch.'"
Sorry, but I think you are on your own with this (not that it matters). Hoffman was very late but not malicious IMO.
A player kicking is not able to defend himself, so only a charge down type challenge should be allowed; everything else is a pen.
