If i remember correctly, sandercock said after the game yesterday that if Burns was'nt available for next week then he probably would be the week after.

Come on ginge it was a shocker . Still cant believe it didnt go on report tbh

well he will only miss saints huddersfield and CC game be back fresh to face the champions. easy 6 points up for grabs............

i cant believe all the hull fans going on some saying it was the worst tackle they had seen rangi chases was 100 times worse against fev.The Hull player carried on it didnt even hurt him so it cant have been that bad if you want to see bad tackles you tube any barrie macdermott tackle

so its only bad tackle if you hurt the player .
Anyway its with the rfl now so lets all wait and see

Charged with a Grade B offence. 1-2 games if (when?) Found guilty.

when??? if it had av been horne on salter u lot would have been the same.

I personally think it was a terrible shot, straight at the head and deserves 2 games for me.

In fact ban the full team for 2 or 3 games and save us any more embarrassment.

How does it work then with his injury cos Sandy reckoned he would miss 1 possibly 2 games anyway? Do they wait for him to be fit to start ban??

Not as far as I'm aware, otherwise we just say he's fit anyway. Can't see the RFL doing a medical on them.
Theoretically if he gets a 2 match ban h will only miss the games he's not fit for.

As for the 'tackle' it was poor but not malicious, very bad technique and a bit of a desperate swing. No where near as bad as Bailey's first one on Monday which had definite intent

Given there's a 6" height discrepancy (Burns 5' 9" - Crooks 6' 3"icon_wink.gif suggest a little more than bad technique

why do you keep saying this of course they dont wait until hes fit it makes no difference whether hes injured or not

Has to plead guilty and hopefully settle for a one match ban.

In many ways he was lucky not to end up in the bin (at the very least) given the circumstances of the challenge. By no means a certainty but Hull looked likely to score until the high shot. Think it was Crooks' reaction that possibly helped him avoid any punishment at the time too. I don't think it was the worst high shot but it wasn't too clever either.

Also think the next time we have Ganson and we end up on a team warning - we remove Horne from the field for 10 mins. Twice now he's been put in the bin by Ganson for a 'high shot' being the one more and you're in the bin theory.
