Pretty well the same as the Raynor/Tomkins incident a few weeks ago.

Funnily enough, most Pies then were calling for Raynor to be exterminated (OK, and most Rhinos for him to be knighted...). Whereas for this one, I think most Bulls recognise it for what it was - very lazy and reckless, and warranting the 2-3 match ban that is the indicative sanction for when he is up before the beak tonight. But not malicious - just brainless.

Bulls fans' reactions may be a bit different if he gets off, mind.

Tomkins was diving for a try and was hit in the head with a closed fist.

Ferriol hit a standing player with his arm.


How are they pretty much the same?

Because neither tackle was malicious, because both victims were running at speed, because both culprits made a lazy and ill-judged attempt to stop the player, and because both players' heads were hit in the head by a player's outstretched arm.

I was watching from the Coral Stand, and so was right in front of the incident coming straight at me. One hell of a clout, and we all worried that Ferriol had broken Donaldson's neck until we saw his legs moving.

As I said, pretty well the same. Unless, maybe, you watched through cherry and white glasses?

maybe because they were both straight red card's?????

Raynor's incident was fine, nothing in it at all. Should have been a penalty for play acting and also a ban for Joel Tomkins for trying to intimidate the ref and the Bradford players.

Ferriol's is a one game ban.

Suprised he got up so quick, defenately worth a red.
