Accident, part of the game, plus he was slipping slightly, you can't really start punishing players ever time someone gets injured, especially when making a legit tackle.hope he gets better soon, but just unfortunate.

Dipping in the tackle nothing in it like Westwood on Gale last week......

It was accidental and I don't want him to be punished for it. I'm getting sick to death of fans (not a pop at the OP, a pop at the ever growing soft RL community in general) coaches and the RFL demanding and going though with banning players when they shouldn't be. The game is soft enough as it is without even more sanitisation through fear of getting banned for nothing.

Which is kind of why I asked the question. As I said, I also believe it was accidental contact and as a tough collision sport there are always going to be injuries, some serious, that are simple accidents. But there have been other collisions in other games resulting in less damage to the recipient, that look to be equally accidental yet the RFL have considered the act worthy of punishment. I suppose the word that gets brought up most when discussions come up regarding the judiciary is 'consistency'.

The way he is getting shafted on here, I'm surprised no-one has posted that this injury is a blessing in disguise and it gives Penny a chance.

If Gene's bad luck is Kevin's good luck then so be it, we could always try Rhys in there risking another 6 month lay off

Rovers played that kick so well, there are many far better and more experienced wingers than Ormsby that would have been made to look equally stupid.

He was let down by his team mates, particularly Atkins.

Hull KR player charged with Grade C offence for that tackle on Ormsby.

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.
