not the only one!

I think you're right, both were bad and we would have been crying foul, but I also think that they weren't deliberate. The game moves at a fast pace so the second tackle saw the player driven into the ground but I don't think there was any intent. JtP has it right I reckon:


I expect they'll be banned though.

Depends on whether the RFL want Bradford in the play-offs or not - in my opinion of course.

2 match ban each

Tansey/Tickle 2 games plus £300

FFS

Unbelievable.
You can bet your life if Cunningham had done it he would have no case to answer.

9's tournament counts as one of the games.

We've had so few disciplinaries this season, it's almost as if they're compensating to demonstrate some form of even-handedness in the end of year figures. Good that the Floodlit 9s counts as a round.

Do you think naming them in the nines was a ploy in case of a ban & the RFL saw through it and gave them a 2 match ban?

Or even for managing to get some injured players back we get penalised like this!

The most interesting bit for me was the last paragraph which stated

As Tansey and Tickle were named in Hull FC’s squad for the Carnegie Floodlit 9 prior to the disciplinary hearing, they will be unavailable for Wednesday’s tournament in Leeds and the engage Super League Round 26 fixture at Wigan Warriors on Friday September 4.
