Ive only seen the Donlan one once live but I thought the ball had been touched down as he flew in.
As a 7 year old we was always told the classic example of scoring and someone jumping on top of you with knees.

to try and compare a cynical challenge to the head and an attempt to dislodge a ball is wrong

Raynors had more chance of dislodging a ball than Donlans. Donlans was a petty toys out of the pram job and had no chance of dislodging anything. Raynor must be a better boxer than mayweather to have meant to land on the jaw at that speed.

Did we once get an 8 pointer against barrow, i think it might have been dean purtill my memory is getting a bit foggy at the moment like Hull KR without lights.

What rubbish ,I reckon you would be singing from a different hymn sheet had it been one of your players knocked out like that ,as for more chance of dislodging the ball well, he wasn't near enough for that which is why he smacked him in the chin

Would have thought that dislodging his head was a more obvious example of foul play whilst scoring, than attempting to dislodge the ball - a la Donlan.

True Alan ,Donlan didn't get red carded did he ,at worse Donlan would have given a gentle brush with his boots

Actually, Ganson's train of thought probably went along the lines of..........

Tomkins might have dropped the ball, had Raynor not registerd him unconscious, thereby relaxing him, so he could fall nicely and apply the appropriate pressure, necessary for a try.

Well Raynor pleaded Guilty to a class B head tackle and was fined and banned for two games so he knew what he had done.

THE CLOWN RETURNS !!!

Nah a clowns funny not pathetic
