Quote: LovesToSpooge "McIlorum has done well to escape a ban. As for Hock, there was nothing in any of those tackles to warrant any interference from the disciplinary as stated in their report.
I'm bemused as to why the swinging arm and subsequent high tackle from Lance on Sam with 5 top go isn't mentioned. I'll just have suck it up and lump it, just like you guy's will over the McIlorum tackle.'"
Rather than sucking it up and lumping it, would it not be better if we just had a system that was transparent and consistent rather than the random approach they take now? It seems incidents are referred at random by some mysterious committee and there is no attempt to be consistent and no reference to previous findings either. A classic example are the spear tackles, the derby ones both worse than Laffranchi's as his barely went past the horizontal and landed the player on his back.
When Wellens was banned last week I said that there would be at least 3 or 4 incidents per game in SL that would be worse over the Easter weekend and I was proved right. The spear tackles, the late hits on Roby and Lance's swinging arm were all more severe incidents, yet none are considered worthy of a ban.
