the strange thing is a was drinking with a super league ref last night and his view was maybe 1 match although if it had been very early in the game sending off sufficient. very suprised at 2 matches and would think wigan would appeal.

but that is from a refs point of view not from the panel

Did Sam need to leave the field with concussion?



So still null and void then.

What does it matter if a player is injured or not?

Because no two incidents are the same and if Coley's high tackle was not as bad as you are making out, Fakir wouldn't have concussion.

So we base sendings off on if an injury has occurred?

Where did I say that?

Coley's was a reckless attack to the head, hence why he got sent off, hence why Fakir got concussion. You don't get concussion unless you get a heavy blow to the head.

Both Coley's and Peacocks tackles made contact with the head which by Child's definition of the rules is a straight red. If one was a tap to the head and the other was a fully fledged blow to it it would make little difference.

Anyway this thread has died a really slow death.

For me it’s a pathetic decision made by an incompetent ref and there is a real worry on my part that the game is going soft. Your opinion seems to be that it’s the worse tackle that’s ever been committed on an RL pitch.

I can’t be ar$ed arguing anymore.

You really are scrapping the bottom of the barrel there.



So where have I implied it was "the worse tackle that's ever been committed on an RL pitch"? Like everyone else who didn't watch the game with their head up their backside I saw it was deserving of a red and given his previous Coley was going to get a ban of some sort. No more, no less.

It never ceases to amaze me how some people seem to be blinded by the cherry and white specs. Even Coley admitted guilt knowing he would get a ban. Obviously he's just being soft as well.

Like i said i really don't care anymore

Obviously.

A positive out of all this is that Coley should be remarkably fresh going into the final rounds of the season plus playoffs, due to missing 4 rounds (3 due to suspension and 1 due to his baby being born).

Hopefully he will put in a strong finish!!
