I missed the incident at the game - too busy watching Dobson's dummy. Having had chance to see it on the highlights, how can that be let go? A cheap shot around the head, from behind. It had the potential to be very dangerous.
To be fair i thought it was a shoulder charge when I saw it at the game. It was actually looks a legitimate tackle around the shoulders, albeit very early, but in that situation i think anyone else would have done the same. Should have been a penalty though.

Why? Like I said, the tackle wasnt as bad as I initially thought but it was clearly a tackle without the ball, so try, conversion then penalty under the sticks surely?
It wouldn't have been another kick at goal after the conversion though, that's only for foul play after the try scored/in the act of scoring. If we were given a penalty for it Dobson would have been pulled back to take a kick at goal, instead, advantage was played. (unfortunately not the only time for us that game )
