OK, dangerous it may well have been, but there was not a jot of intent in that. Bizarre.'"
It is the job of the panel to judge intent I would have thought. Is intent relevant? Bridge could claim he had no intent of breaking Jeffries jaw when he dropped his forearm on the ball in the previous game, Chase must have been judged not to deliberately smash whatshisface's jaw.

| Is this a joke...that tackle is deemed to be worth 3-5 games? Deary me. As Badger said, if there hadn't have a pause in the game I doubt there would have been anything said about the tackle. It didn't look intentional to me, why would it have been? There certainly didn't appear to be any verbals between the two players beforehand.

| Didn't Bateman give him a sort of pat/tap on the back afterwards? Didn't seem to be any malice and the ref didn't even call a penalty. How can a tackle warranting a 3-5 game ban not warrant a penalty? Madness.

fev didnt get a penalty for rangis effort on ropati! thats what the on report system is used for when the ref suspects something has happened but didnt see it!
and the fact that hodgson wasnt injured has nothing to do with it, it is the fact that he could of been injured and any contact or undue pressure on the neck has always been illegal in this game.
personally i think yes it was a bad tackle but more poor technique than intent and a ban of 1-2 games would of sufficed to give him some cooling of time and chance to work on technique

| Why he had to be slammed on the floor is also baffling...he was all ready in a position from which he couldn't off load or do anything. why he needed to be picked up from a sitting down position to be dropped so your head is forced down and someone falling on it is what gets me. Like its been said before... IMO poor technique, would have agreed with 1-2 games and a slap on the wrist.

| Couldn't make out what the fuss was about, even after seeing the replays. I'm knocking 50 and not especially fit but don't reckon I'd be particularly affected by a tackle like that. Maybe jarred a bit but nothing worse.

| Absoluteley ridciulous, the challenge was clumsy, and probably deserved a 1-2 game ban at the very most. Where on earth have they got 3-5 from??? I have seen this tackle so many times and it can be dangerous, but never has it been punished until now. I gurantee if that game wasn't on the tele nothing would have come of this incident. The inconsistencies are a joke and its interesting to see Carvell has got off with kicking out again. You don't regain your feet by kicking out.

| Quote: Maccbull_BigBullyBooaza "Hmmm a tackle technique you'll see half a dozen times in a game (the player offended against scoring a vital try 2 minutes later) is a Grade D offence but leathering someone in the face with your elbow resulting in them requiring surgery and puts them out for four months is a Grade C offence?
Ask Brett Hodgson what he'd rather have been on the receiving end of. I'm sure he'd be much happier right now eating his food through a straw.
Wonder if John Bateman was wanted by Steve McNamara for the Exiles matches he'd be looking at a grade C offence or less? Of course not that would be unthinkable.'"
yeah cos thats much better than potentially being in a wheelchair due to a severe neck injury.
It was a type of crusher tackle which as we all know are a big no no.

| Haha what makes me laugh is that the MAJORITY (not all) of wire fans wouldn't be bothered if it had been the other way round and don't pretend you wouldn't.
Last game Bridge could have easily snapped Jeffries neck back with that forearm and there was intent in that. Similar with Chase's forearm (except he did damage). If Bridge gets 1 game and Chase 3-4 games then Bateman should get 2 games as I rekon its closer to Bridge's incident than Chases. But dont come on here saying you would be disgusted if it was a warrington player performing the tackle.
Imho I wouldn't ban it and don't see anything wrong particularly didnt put pressure on his neck it was spread out through the shoulders and chest mainly. He had Hodgson lifted slightly anyway then when ref shouted held he dropped on him (not picked him up then rammed him into the ground) but literally fell on him. If it had been a warrington player I wouldnt have been bothered just liek Carvells kicking, in my opinion (as a player at semi-pro) then I think that unless your legs go near the opposition head or groin then your okay, all it is is trying to get the player off you and regain your feet a few seconds quicker.

Depends what their leeway is with the ban, can they look at now its been sent through as Grade D and say "no intent" and ban him for less than 3 or do they have to either say nothing to answer or min 3 games?
If they are allowed to lower the Grade after the panel reviews it then I agree with you, send it through with intent and let them clear it up but if they can't then they should cite them the other way. Assume no intent and then let them ramp up the ban if they see intent while reviewing.
Anyone know what leeway they have?

No, the ref seen it, he even said "no penalty but I'm putting it on report". How can the ref see a 3-5 game infraction but not call it? The idiocy is the ref if the challenge was so bad.
I don't think there was intent on Bateman's part, his actions after it were apologetic, which is more than what you'll get from most RL players.
