So what's the VT jury verdict on this nasty piece of work? Watch it a couple of times, gets worse each time.

That's a shocker. He deserves a long ban.

Horrible. I'm trying to think of any reason or justification for the Rochdale player to be doing what he is. But I can't.

Depending on his previous record he needs a very, very long ban of at least 20 games. Maybe a year. It's one of those that brings the prospect of sine die into consideration in my opinion.

A bit of a side issue but I'd also be wanting the RFL to take a look at other Rochdale games and see if their players have been using this kind of grip/hold as a tactic or whether it's a one off.

Deliberate attempt to put pressure on the joint after the tackle was completed. Clearly intending to seriously injure the tackled player - and looks like he did.

Take the rest of the season out to think about what a t0sser you are, son, and if you're lucky, we might let you play again next year.

Shouldn't set foot on a pitch again that is an absolute disgrace.

That fella should be banned for life, then should be punched in the face by everyone registered on rlfans.com

Was that the sound of snapping bone?

judging by the range of movement and him holding his knee, i'd say thats a ligament or two.

the fact that we can hear it, with a crowd,and twenty five other players on the pitch, from that distance suggests it was bleedin loud.

Thats a bad one

I bet Wane's making notes about technique there.

I can't actually see what he's done there. Twisted the foot to the left?

That's an assault. I would hazard a guess at ACL rupture.

Police intervention for me on that. At no point could that every be described as being part of sport.

Elima did a similar thing to Aaron Hereimia in the first game of the 2014 season. Fortunately Hereimia was not seriously injured

disgusting!, should be banned from playing the game ever again, absolutely no justification for doing that.
the ref is looking straight at the tackle, why could he not see what was happening?
