Told you it was a bad un. i saw it, and i wasn't on the pitch and aint employed to be looking for this sort of thing.

yea... nothing like it... One broke a players jaw, one didn't cause any injury.

Still think it was accidental, though I can see how it has been deemed as reckless. I suppose the phrase 'duty of care' comes into it too. Having been charged, with the nature of the injury caused and with 'previous' earlier in the season I wouldn't be surprised at the full 3 games. At least this would leave him available for the final.

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.

I suppose the bottom line is that if you want to go in for the big hit and end up 'big hitting' the opponents head/face, whether by accident, recklessly or intentionally then you have to expect to be looked at after the event. More so if the hit is with the shoulder, and more again if the hit results in serious injury to your opponent.

Agreed

Gene Ormsby had an operation on his jaw on Saturday night, with both sides of the jaw needing a plate inserted. His estimated time on the sidelines is eight weeks, but could be back sooner. Wolves are not writing him off for the year at this stage

Maybe so but my post was more in response to WFIII on the Ormsby has been shafted proposition I didn't think he had

I'm surprised. I thought it was a front on tackle and the shoulder just happened to hit Gene, unluckily in the jaw. It wasn't a shoulder lead charge.

He has done in the past on here, Unc. Granted he doesn't get as shafted on here as Asotasi does though.

It's difficult to see how front on you can accidentally break a jaw with your shoulder unless you were leading with it slightly. Poor technique possibly? But there are plenty of players in the league who like to put a small shoulder in to make their presence felt.

the guy is quite tall, so there is a size disparity, which he should be taking account of.

Best wishes to him.
Whatever the cause it's never nice to see a player cop a bad injury.

Notice how our coach didn't moan or kick off about it after the game unlike some other ,lesser, managers did a couple of games ago
