| The tackle, I believe, was reckless and not malicious. I really like Brett Ferres as a player, and I don't think for a second that the outcome was what he had in mind. But for all that, players need to take responsibility for these types of incidents, and long bans are key to that. It was a terrible tackle.
As for consistency, I can't actually remember another tackle like it, but I agree that we need to consistently punish very dangerous tackles harshly. To me, that means if penalties have been too lenient in the past the line in the sand should be drawn here and then kept to.
Shame this has descended into inter-club fan bickering. Which sadly seems to have been mostly instigated by my fellow Leeds fans. RL fans of all clubs are like any other group: most of them are decent enough, some of them are bad w*****s. I can't think of any club that's an exception to that rule.
As for fans cheering Wardle when he was sent off for biffing Ablett, I can't believe what I'm reading. Fans have cheered biff for as long as I have been watching the game. I've never seen a player sent off for fighting and not get a warm reception from his own fans. Lets leave the mock-righteous indignation at home.
I would also love to see any player in any sport who calls for a card to get exactly what they ask for. that would stamp it out. Until that happens, I think we'll continue to see players from all teams do it. Again, no team is above reproach on this one, so attempts to claim the moral high ground are best avoided.
I hope Ferres gets the maximum ban, takes it on the chin and comes back strongly, and maybe has a good think about his technique.

| HE has effectively got 6 because Ref Hall always seem to accept a red card is one game.
No complaints from me about the ban

| For those of you not on Twitter, Ferres has tweeted an apology to Jonny Lomax for the tackle, saying he would never intentionally set out to hurt someone, that he is glad Lomax is ok and that he has accepted his punishment. He has also tweeted a separate apology to his team mates, the club's staff and fans for undermining his team's chances of winning the game.

Yet their brave bid came to a stunning end when Cudjoe stepped out of the defensive line to intercept a pass and then run away for a 90-metre effort. (Times 2)

| I love it when I stand behind the sticks at away games when you can see how far and fast that sidestep takes him, and he's a top bloke too.

| tromso, watch it again and keep your eyes closely on Lomaxs' legs.
