Really?

He had a split second to make the tackle and was trying to put pressure on the kicker, he got it wrong but not all of those get a red.

It’s not like he bent the players arm behind his back or anything…

Obviously not if you look at the tackle by Martyn on Lomax in the Grand Final. Had he not twisted and put out his arm the result could have been serious.

Is Bateman staying or heading back down under ?

Redcliffe

Redcliffe where after French were they not?

if he hadnt have twisted and put his arm out he wouldnt have gone over the horizontal so wouldnt have been a penalty
