Quote: leeds owl "In fairness to the video refs, the contact seemed to be made with Burns shoulder. Having seen it from various angles, I couldn't be sure there was any contact with the head. The subsequent swelling on Burns face would suggest something impacted his head, but nothing showed that on the replays. The Saints will have to take it on the chin, and remember that Sia Soliola spent half of his game time last season committing challenges like that on opposition players. To start squealing now would be a tad hypocritical.'"
They have funny shoulders in Hull, obviously.
The Sky replay clearly showed the shoulder making direct contact with the head. The referee is within his rights to ask for video ref assistance on the matter of foul play. That Child didn't ask for it was irresponsible as he gave Green and HKR generally the green light to do whatever they liked and whether you like Saints or not, the players are human beings with families and with the right to be protected from head injury so far as is humanly possible.
