I don't think it was deserved. In fact I think Moa has got Tommy Lee's red from yesterday. I imagine referees went into their games today with last night's incident on their mind with a view to nipping biff in the bud. Cue Silverwood cacking it at the thought of "doing a Bentham" and he came up with a knee-jerk reaction.

I'd have sin binned him if it was me but I can see where Silverwood is coming from

Im not sure what Moa was supposed to with his shoulder. There isnt a great deal of vertical movement in the shoulder.

People who want shoulder charges to be outlawed should f off and watch Union. Some of the fantastic hits over the years have come from shoulder charges.

Perhaps Moa should look into improving his tackling technique if he can't tackle someone who steps inside of him within the laws of the game.

What was the difference in that and the Morley hit on Hansen in 2010?

That is not what the sin bin is for.

I'd go with this. Intent - or lack thereof - can't be the decider. Rinaldi was knocked clean out - that was a big, bad hit.

Raises the question of allowing shoulder charges at all.

The sin bin is for anything the referee chooses to use it for.

I'm getting so 'with it' these days that I want to 'like' that post.

Agree, intent isn't the be all and end all. Was a reckless shot, hitting him in the face and knocking him out.
Right decision for me
