Quote: Teessidewire "Because it was a shoulfder charge, it wasn't accidental, you don't accidentally shoulder charge someone.'"
Was it an actual shoulder charge or in the event of making a tackle the shoulder caught the face of the opponent? There were several shoulder charges going in at both Semi finals and all went unpunished at the time.
The duty of care thing should be looked at with the challenge as the tackle appeared to be one like a type of bear hug that was ill timed hence the injury.
