2-3 game ban jeez breaking a jaw is only 3 matches?

I certainly remember Pryce getting hurt.

It would be ridiculous if he was given this length of ban.

I noticed it at the time, he had Pryce's upper body, I would argue he didn't actually have hold of his head or neck. He had Pryce in front of him with Pryce's back to him and was trying to put him on the ground on his back, Pryce obviously trying to resist and go down face first. From what I can remember it was actually Mose Masoe lending weight as second man in during the wrestling stage that caused Pryce's neck to bend forwards, pushing his head into his chest as LMS was pushed over the back of him. Totally accidental on LMS' part.

I support the RFL pulling this up, but can't help but be annoyed by the complete lack of consistency. LMS could cop a 3 match ban for accidentally hurting a player, yet Flower for example tries to destroy a player's knee with an horrendous cannonball tackle and that's okay because the joint bends that way (We'll ignore the impact on the knee and back when 40 stone is sent crashing on top of the joint as the body goes backwards and lower leg forwards eh?).

Leon kept holding his neck and looked to be in a lot of pain, with his history of serious neck injury I was surprised he stayed on.

I can't remember the incident, but if hes done that, he deserves a ban

Use Flowers Solicitor he'll get off?

Flower was NOT charged, quite justifiably. The tackle was above the knee and without a great deal of force.

You would blindly vindicate any action by any current Wigan player. The cannonball tackle is the biggest blight on the sport in the last 10 years, yet it's very difficult to get a Wigan fan to even acknowledge it or the dangers of it.

I remember seeing it at the time. It just looked like an awkward tackle. I doubt there is anything in it, just like I would not say Sia's injury was from a twist on a limb, just an unfortunate tackle.

But obviously a Wiganers will jump on anything to justify MM.

Expect this after any referral.

However obviously we will not prejudge anything and if he did try to break Pryce's neck then he should get what he deserves.

I remember the incident and thought at the time it was a bit iffy, but forgot about it to honest. Wasn't 3 matches bad, especially considering McIlorum got that.

Anything to give Leeds the upper hand innit icon_wink.gif

And he knows it.

We at the Union are shocked and disgusted that a member has been sent to the beak for cracking a half back. The lad has full backing from the Union if he decides to contest this unecessary charge.
