8 Games plus for me and i'm not joking. No place in the game for that kind of tackle and who is Brett Ferres to determine whether a bloke walks again or not ? To lift any player like that takes a huge amount of strength and effort and then to continue that motion and drive him into the floor is appalling. The fact Lomax isent paralyzed should not take anything off that tackle, just one each either way and Lomax is lying in hospital waiting to feel movement in his legs. Watch the game and it's clear that Ferres is un-happy at a number of decisions and took his anger out on Lomax. I'll be appalled if it's not at least 8 games

It may be worth pointing out that the ban for the McKinnon tackle wasn't just 7 matches on the tackle alone.
In Australia they have a 'points' system whereby the tackle will be awarded a certain number of points looking at different factors, for each 100 points a one game ban is given.
The tackler in the McKinnon case was given 325 points for the tackle but then a further 400 points for the injury resulting in a 7 game ban.
