wind ya necks in you fools! was a head high tackle and got penalised like he deservered but that's it!!, Horne was sin binned for a shirt grab! yet we still came out on top!

Oh my God, lets all back in history (that's where you lot live anyway) and dredge up dirty players. There were plenty of those about in those days and most teams had one or two. We're talking about now and the head-high tackle was a definite red - clenched fists and right round the chops. By the way, that 'one high tackle' in Aus cost him several games which also effected your team. Hardly and 'incident'.

I think it was reckless/desperate rather than malicious from what I saw (not watched it on telly yet for a replay) but regardless of intent isn't there a rule about last defender?

Ganson, has sent a few of our players off, in the past, for a lot less than that.

That's how I saw it. Very deliberate

It was high and deliberate, Burns knew exactly what he was doing and should have seen Red. To me, what saved Burns was straight away Ben Crooks got up and went after Burns. If he's stayed down think it would have been a different decision.

What poster are forgetting that the panel can still look at it.And still report it as a disciplinary.We will have to wait and see if he get off
.

No he didn't It would seem not.
Agreed.

I doubt that Perhaps it's time you grew up as hoping players are injured long term is truly pathetic.

He was looking directly at Crooks' head and his arm was well above his own shoulder when he swung it in malicious and full of intent, 10mins minimum.

Karma came around quickly though.

Crap tackle hopefully he'll get done by the judiciary whether or not his suspension is token due to injury.

Considering Fat Boys previous for sending our players off for high tackles I should have been surprised (but wasn't as it is Fat Boy afterall) when he didn't send Burns off as it was as blatant a high shot as you can get. The way he swung his arm was only ever going to end up in his face and it was deliberate IMO. I'd love to know what Fat Boys criteria is for sending off a player for a high shot because I'm sure that one would tick all the boxes.
