Just watched it again and it was fine. Ref even asked video referee for his opinion and he said it was all legal. No contact to the head was made by Scruton and it was clearly not deliberate!

Is it just me that sees a little square box where this supposed image is?

The replay is clear to me, contact is shoulder to shoulder the force of which rocks O'Briens head onto the shoulder of Scruton. That is entirely different to a shoulder charge making direct contact with the head.

No I see a little square box too.

Which part of O'Brien's body do you suggest Scruton's shoulder is in contact with?

No, it's not just you.

I agree with your opinion of the tackle. A still image doesn't tell the whole story, and I think this is a reason it isn't accepted at a hearing.

What about the Gilmour head butt on 49 mins.. Six month ban for sure I reckon.

Apologies, I can see the image fine.

It looks like he in contact with a little box to me.

It's a head clash is it not? However, if the RFL are going to be consistent it is contact with the head whilst making the tackle, and I don't see why it should make any difference whether it is his arm/shoulder/head.

What's needed are the frames before and the frames after, not a single image that doesn't tell the whole story. These are what would be looked at by the match review/disciplinary panel.

Being from nottingham maybe you should support rugby union. Clearly league is too rough for you. Scrutons tackle was a tad late but he had already committed to the tackle before your lad passed the ball, and from the numerous replays on the bog screen it looked perfectly fine with it being just a big hit.
