Several facial issues including a triple fracture of the cheekbone would suggest differently.

Travis has always had facial issues. Why would that suggest differently? Anyhoo are you saying Ronnie Wileman deliberately did Roger?

It would suggest there was contact with the head. It does not indicate a deliberate attempt to inflict damage so please keep your extrapolation to yourself.

I agree, it was a purely accidental late, high, shoulder to the head of someone he has openly claimed not to like.

Pure accident.

2 words.Francis Meli.

Three words - got sent off.

Eight more words - four match ban in addition to red card.

Irrelvant. Still did the deed.

A disgusting tactic. Lucky Craig Hall's neck wasn't broken.

I think Green's shoulder charge was more of a careless late bump rather than an all out late malicious hit. Given the size differential between the two, in some ways it was inevitable there would be secondary contact to the head. Outcome, 1 match EGP ban for Green, and Burns is still a dick.

You're right, thanks for providing the comparison.

So what we've established is that one player (who didn't openly state his dislike for his "victim") gets the equivalent of five matches for a high tackle.

Then another gets one match for a high tackle that leaves a player's face fractured in several places and apparently has the class to claim he didn't like his victim anyway.

Good stuff.

Wonder why travis got a huge ban in australia was it 17 matches,and hasnt he just served a ban for a head high tackle on justin carney ? Get those blinkers off.
