| Quote: Alan "Having watched the 'Youtube' video on the Broncos site, I reckon Soward took exception to Greg's slightly late (but with both hands raised) challenge. He then appears to tackle Worthington from behind. I can't actually see any punches thrown by either player but Ben Thaler obviously did - he's right in the middle of the melee. So, presumably the referee's report has been used here, rather than an inconclusive camera angle. I still believe Thaler is the best there is, and am prepared to trust him on this one.
OK, we can argue that, if Soward hadn't tackled Greg, nothing else would have happened. Or we could argue that, if Greg hadn't gone in recklessly on Soward, nothing would have happened. As the EGP is available to both, it looks like no suspension for Soward, and three for Greg.
In some ways, we could benefit from this decision, as we have cover for Worthington, and I'd prefer Soward to be available for the Broncos against the rest of the teams!
Trust me, as someone in West Stand South Worthington threw plenty of punches. Didn't see the initial incident as I was following the play, but when I looked back he was knocking seven bells out of Soward. Not saying he didn't deserve it like on the bright side not short of quality centres - them and props a plenty

Well done Col. I trust you what you saw.That concludes the Grade C for me then.
The Grade A offence is farcical though.

Quote: Cokey "Alan - would you be kind enough to post a link? I just can't find it. I've found the highlights on youtube which is the angle that's already posted on here. At the point of contact his arms are in a downward position,but because of the nature of movement of the contact,his right arm has been forced back into a upright position. There is nothing sinister in that tackle. He was committed and it just looks worse than you are making out.'"
This is it - I hope!

It's the same clip we've been watching all along.
Alan - We have a difference of opinion.

| So why are the RFL review panel missing it?They see the high one from Worthington,they see the punching on the deck.How can they miss Soward getting up,running and taking Worthington out from behind?
Give up with these men me,Koukash was right,they do need to go.No wonder the game is on a downward slope.

Looks that way, and I've just been to Specsavers recently too!

Still find it a bit farcical though, when someone trollies you from behind its an instance reaction to defend yourself. These guys are pumped up with careers on the line so they are on the edge to start with.
Late tackle seems borderline to me, but there must have been half a dozen in the game similar or worse that went unpunished
And whilst I'm at it, digressing slightly, but without knowing the rules how did the London guy not get 10 mins for pulling McNally down when he was backing up in the 2nd half, that looked a certain try in the making

Especially as they had been on a 'team warning' - although it was a good bit after that warning, and I don't know how long that lasts.

Good point that Alan, we were discussing that at the time and nobody seemed to know. We just seem to agree it was just at the refs discretion, but is there a time limit? coz we just didn't know.
C,mon reffy - We need your expertise on this one.
