i think maybe a little harsh on foster, he does seem to pull out of a full on kick, but i can still see where silverwood has come from, seeing it once and having the players wellbeing in mind.

it’s just a real shame that he does not carry this concern over to lee, it was a real late shot with the elbow and could of broken his jaw. Age or size should not come into it but a prop taking one of our smaller lads out and there’s 5 'officials' there 3 of which have a mothers meeting in the middle to decide that was ok?? JOKE

To be fair, the way he was playing you'd have probably lost by more if Foster had stayed on

Yes he is.

he definitely didnt get a ban last year. its easy enough to check on disciplinary website.

He was very lucky to get away with it on the day, it was a terrible challenge. When showed from the reverse angle, you could see he actually speeded up after the ball had gone, and smashed the forearm/elbow into the face.

Gaskell not getting injured or making a meal of it, will probably have limited the the punishment.

thats also part of the problem, because if the players believe this then it starts to go down the football way and players staying down.

red hall and the man on the feild need to look after players to stop it before it starts

Mmm when has Elima had a ban in the last 12 months ? I can`t believe you come out with that rubbish, yes fair enough he deserves a ban. He was late, no doubt about that You don`t see us Bulls fan ranting and raving about Foster kicking whitehead in the head and asking for a ban.

Just like fosters kick to the head on whitehead

Quite simple really why you haven't: he doesn't deserve a ban for it.

Elima on the other hand does.

Foster has not been charged with any offence, he was cleared of any wrong doing
The Ref got it wrong by putting him on a charge and giving the penalty under the posts. You got 2pts for nothing.

You also beat a pretty crap team.
