It was worse than the Mckinnon one. Lives up to the 'rugby players are thick' stereotype. Now we will see if they punish the tackle (in which case 7 games) or the injury (in this case none, therefore a lesser ban). Whatever he gets he cant complain

The Ferres tackle was shocking, but people saying it was intentional are absolutely daft. He clearly lifts Lomax, but Lomax propels himself forward (driving for more yards in the tackle). That momentum into the lift puts him in the dangerous position, which Ferres should have corrected.

Certainly not intentional, but deserves a hefty ban. I'd guess at 4 games.

Blind. He clearly lifted Lomax. Once above the horizontal, you can see him perform an almost pile-driver.

Nasty, filthy, malicious attempt from a professional. 2 months out of the game, please.

Ferres could be looking at 8 games, and Brough could be looking at similar for the clear foul language aimed at Bentham

Did Ferres suddenly think he was the Undertaker? Almost a textbook piledriver that one. Terrible, possibly one of the worst spear tackles ever, luckily Lomax was not hurt.

I honestly don't want to believe he intended to drive lomax's head in the ground but it looked pretty bad. I think Lomax's momentum contributed as did his leg drive but it is Ferres' responsibility to ensure his tackle is safe. That clearly was not.

Given recent events in Australia Ferres will likely end up with a very long ban.

Fair thread. Bentham's call was almost impossible, and an honest error in my view. Ferres made a deliberate attempt to execute a throw which could have paralysed a fellow player. I hope he gets a record ban.

I think that Ferres will get a 4 game ban

It's a shame that this is one of the worst incidents of this nature since the Alex McKinnon incident and he could possibly be made a scapegoat for the tackle where as previous players have got off scott free for similar incidents

I thought that the tackle on Hull FC 's Whiting against Widnes was even worse though and that tackle only was worthy of a warning?

Ferres is a very dangerous thug. Worse than Jordan McLean's effort. 12 weeks please.

Not a chance in SL

Travis Burns did an identical tackle on Paul Sykes last week and the ref did nothing!

The ref was Phil Bentham

This is a joke right? Admiteddly I haven't seen ferres pay week in week out since he was at Bradford, but whilst today's tackle was appalling he's far from being a thug imo.

Except putting it on report and giving a penalty

So one bad tackle has now made ferres a thug?? Give over

I very much doubt it was deliberate, Ferres has never struck me as been a dirty player at all. Terrible technique though and deserves a sizeable ban. Had the McKinnon incident never occurred I would expect him to get 3 or 4 matches, but given what has happened I think they will make an example of him. Could even be a record Superleague ban I reckon.

It could have very easily been another McKinnon, not only did Lomax land on his head but then Ferres landed on Lomax's head while he was still in a really bad position. He's very lucky to walk away unhurt.
