The Eastwood spear tackle didn't slip their mind, they viewed it, saw that whilst he was placed in a vulnerable position he was not dropped or forced down into a dangerous position and therefore not worthy of punishment. However, I don't expect any Leeds fans to be honest enough to admit that was the case.
With Delaney, there was very little control in the tackle and Prescott was dropped in a vulnerable position and that means you get a 1 game ban. Coley's tackle on Delaney at Headingley got a 1 game ban because of the position the player landed (the top of the back/shoulder) and therefore the punishment is consistent. Bans seem to be given out when the tackle drops or brings a player down in a vulnerable position, as opposed to when a player is placed in a dangerous position but is not dropped or brought down in a dangerous position.
