Red card in my opinion.

I don't think it was deliberate, just reckless and careless. Moa's was also reckless & careless, and both resulted in a concussed player having to leave the game.

I can only presume that Silverwood didn't quite see it properly, although he went on to put it on report, so who knows? I expect a 2-game ban.

Spot on

Apparently Mika is injured and will miss at least one match, so unless the ban exceeds the duration of his injury where is the actual punishment?

The ban (if he gets one) will still be in place when he returns, so if he misses 1 game through injury and gets a 1 match he will be missing for 2 games.

Since when?

Yes, it doesn't really sound right that, but if it is, he's fit as of now, although we might rest him in a couple of games time after the ban has expired.

Well I never if that is the case .... I am assuming it is the same as amateur if a player gets a ban he serves the ban injured or not.

So basically if a player gets a ban for 2 matches but are out injured they do not have to serve the ban ?

But would still have got a ban. Silverwood's let him off lightly whichever way you look at it.

If Silverwood didn't see it properly could he not have asked the video ref to look into the incident? Or can the video ref not be used for that sort of thing?

When watching it I didn't think it was deliberate. However, Barrie McDermott (who has a fair bit of knowledge of shots like that ) was suggesting that he thought that Mika meant it.

Either way, it was serious contact with the head and therefore he should have been sent off because both Moa and Puletua have been sent off for similar offences. There needs to be more consistency in the refereeing.

for accuracy

The video ref advised whever the ref was when we played london to send moa off

That the point if you go into a tackle like that you are intending to hit the player .The player face said it all He meant it

Substitute London for Hull, and it didn;t Stop Moa getting sent off/banned.
