Ablett's arm was held against his own stomach i.e. very low. Tomkins was going down at the moment of impact. Probably why the officials considered there to be doubt. As for Bailey's knee. The knee raised because he was knocked backwards in a tackle and he needed to raise it to keep his balance. Usually I am first to have a go at the dirty thug, but not on this occasion.
Bailey will have no case to answer and Ablett may get a slap on the wrist.

Couldn't agree more, he should have had at the very least one extra game as a penalty and an extra £500 fine.

A reckless challenge yes & deserving of the extra fine & possibly a game added on for good measure, but a cheat what is that in relation to?

Justice done !!

Haven't they started doing that in Football, not doubling the ban but adding a game if the appeal is deemed as frivolous. Sure Rio Ferdinand had that happen at the end of last season.
