It's interesting how so many Saints fans are saying Amor shouldn't have been sent off. We all know the 1st contact wasn't high but he was reckless in his actions and could have done some real damage. For me Thaler got it spot on and now Amor has been charged with grade B offence. If he pleads guilty he'll get two matches reduced to one.'"
Which, for me, is fine, fair, and appropriate.

I can't agree. Amor was going for a big hit, made contact with the chest and slipped up, sometimes these things happen. My first thoughts, like most other people's was that it was a bad one and a red card, replays showed differently.
I recall, at least on a couple of occasions SOL doing a similar thing. IIRC there was one against Wakefield last season, I argued then that because initial contact was fair and the arm bounced up off the ball a penalty was sufficient, I hold the same opinion for the Amor one.

There is a responsibility on the tackler to remain in control of the tackle and the player has a duty of care to his opponent. Its clear there was no intent but his tackle was reckless and its was only down to luck that Marshall didn't suffer serious injury. I think they've got this one spot on, all we need now is consistency. Grade B is about right and he'll get 1 game with EGP which I think is fair enough.

I think it was careless, rather than reckless, but deserving of a one match ban.

It was a reckless tackle that put another professional in danger.
He can feel hard done to because he hit the ball and his arm slipped up, but at the end of the day he put himself in that position by swinging his arm on a side stepping WR in the open field.
Red card was warranted.
