The RFL do some illogical things, how there's no case to answer is one of them, dMight have had something to do with Hudgel gobbling off about the disciplinery
It was a spear tackle as malicious and dangerous as that performed by Ferres, same ref but no red card.

brough might get banned but it should be reduced for being factually correct

Is it up to him to prove that?

Why, was he saying it to you?

Idiot

Im glad that hudds went out by way of a dodgy decision given the nature of that tackle.

FFS this sort of tackle has gone on for years and been dealt with either on field or by the panel. Just because of the unfortunate incident in the NRL, people are making out that a spear tackle should be treated worse than attempted murder. Roll the clock back 4 weeks and I bet there wouldn't be a thread on spear tackles in SL. The incident in the NRL was unfortunate but we shouldn't sanitize the game because of 1 incident. At this rate we'll be watching touch rugby in 10 years. Everyone needs to calm down and put things into perspective.

And as i've said elsewhere, once the RFL have made an example of Ferres (and the tackle does deserve it btw i'm not defending him) the next 'bad one' will be back to on report and a 2 match ban on review in a couple of weeks.

And anyway Ferres has been named in Huddersfield's 19 this week...

Well done for the most ridiculous hyperbolic comment on the thread.

Seriously I challenge you to quote one post where anyone has made out that Ferres should be punished more than this

Discretionary Life Sentence
This sentence may be imposed for those over the age of 21 as the maximum penalty for a serious offence, e.g. manslaughter, attempted murder, rape, armed robbery or arson. It is imposed instead of a determinate sentence where the sentencing court thinks that the offender's risk of committing another serious offence will continue for an indeterminate period.


Imprisonment (or Detention) for Public Protection (IPP)
The new indeterminate sentence of Imprisonment (or Detention) for Public Protection will apply to offenders who are convicted of a serious offence (that is a specified sexual or violent offence carrying a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment or more) and who are considered by the court to pose a "significant risk to members of the public, of serious harm."



So come on own up who said Ferres should get more than a life sentence. Or in fact did we just say he should get a long ban from playing, not even stopping his income.

The sentences available was up to 8 matches. I'm assuming he got a reduction for pleading guilty, as really it was the perfect spear tackle, he could not have got it more right.

But feel free to think everyone is over reacting and a spear is just part and parcel of the game.

It's political correctness gone maaaaad!

Here is every opinion on sentence offered on this threadCronus
Have a few weeks off.

BD
Ferres should get banned for a long time.

cas all the way
He should get 7 games according to what the NRL did.

Saddened
Should get the maximum possible ban

Flexwheeler
Frankly, ferres should have the book thrown at him and should suffer the maximum possibly penalty.

HKR Smithy
Now we will see if they punish the tackle (in which case 7 games)

Gazemous
deserves a hefty ban. I'd guess at 4 games.

Diablo1967
2 months out of the game, please.

Chris28
Ferres could be looking at 8 games

Eastbourne Warrior
Ferres will likely end up with a very long ban.

Roy Haggerty
Ferres made a deliberate attempt to execute a throw which could have paralysed a fellow player. I hope he gets a record ban.

the Chin's Back
I think that Ferres will get a 4 game ban

Jean capdouze
12 weeks please.

Mr Zucchini Head
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.'"
