You say his record is good but he has previous for doing the same thing. 5 times the RFL have reviewed incidents of a similar nature from Ferres. I think that will go against him.

I would agree that not all spear tackles are the same, I think there's basically two kinds one where the ball carrier lands on his head/neck and one where he doesn't. Brett's tackle yesterday was one of the ones where the player landed on his head and should be a straight red and a lengthy ban. If the player doesn't land on his neck then I think it should still be a red for dangerous technique but perhaps a shorter ban or sending off sufficient.

I disagree that he drove him down. It looked to me like he got Lomax in a dangerous position and then lost his balance and fell over, bringing Lomax down on his head accidentally. No less dangerous, but not malicious.

said previous he has a strange tackling technique, this has been coming for a while, needs to work on it

Wardle did get applauded last year, and the applause wasn't for the tackle it was appreciating what he had done in the game previously....he deserved to be sent off and probably knew as soon as he did it he was in trouble.

Great point. Brough's arrogance and behaviour contributed to the run of penalties in the second half. When a player is chirping away angrily at every decision, clapping to his face and generally goading him, it'll never go in his favour.

They're a funny lot in Huddersfield, I remember Carl Ablett getting dogs abuse when he was led from the field with a broken cheekbone at huddersfield. I'd like to say their small number of supporters is high in quality but unfortunately the exact opposite is true.

I remember that (wish I didn't), was in 2011 at the end of the season. Absolutley sickening, the huddersfield fans that day were a disgrace. Maybe yesterdays dissapointment was poetic justice for those cockroaches.

Whereas this post just shows your class

......

I think the Hudds fans are a decent lot myself. Never seen any trouble with them or anything. Generally a friendly bunch.

I would have been at that game and I do not recall any fans giving abuse to Ablett when he left the field.

Think it will be 6-8, was a very bad one. Just hope we see consistency if it is 6-8, and similar types of tackle get the same punishment, but we shall see......

If that bent ref Bentham had got a call a few minutes earlier correct, that tackle would not have occurred. He penalised Huddersfield for holding down in a tackle a few feet from the touchline which was wrong. When I watched it back on TV the saints player was holding the Giants player down on top of him as he had his arm round his neck.

It makes you think Bentham had a bet on that match such were the decision made, as Huddersfield could have had numerous penalties at the end near the saints line for off-sides at the play-the-ball.

Totally stiched up.
