Even Steve Clarke on Sky doesn't think the tackle was illegal. Says it all really. Shame for Shenton and Cas, they won't make the top four without him.

Is steve clarke some kind of rl guru?

Good job they banned the guillotine in france or french john could have been for the chop

You watch appeal will give him 5 matches.

ps
Had to watch it a few times just to see which tackle it was, feel for the Cas kid but not sure that was 4 matches myself.

You see those tackles every week but I guess they are okay when they don't injure a man

Ban Upheld. RFL = Joke

I was being sarcastic, as I think that MR alluded to. FWIW my opinion is that there was nothing in it. (from a deliberate or intentional perspective) Clearly as well it is a natural reaction and indeed the intention of the game to get the player down. 4 games is harsh, would never have happened to a popular club. That said, you can understand an emotive response when a club captain is injured for the season. I guess something needs looking at re third man, but I am at a loss how it could be policed.
When I read your occasional posts in future, I will bear in mind (as i have seen prior evidence also of) your penchant for the dramatic and vitriolic over reaction. Must be something to do with living in a village, but don't take it out on the rest of us.

No one's forcing you to come on here.

Indeed they are not. But it gives me so much pleasure. The Terrorist is a true star. You also amuse me I must admit.

Nice one. You post a provocative wind up and my occasional dramatic and vitriolic over reaction generates the above considered and insightful response from you. Result.

I even smiled appreciatively at your living in a village reference. Rumour has it round here that the best place to live for unusual dramatic and vitriolic over reaction is nearby Kirkybymoorside. Their biennial shagatownienight is a must visit, especially once the locals have run out of sheep to service.

I also used to live in North Ferriby. Might have some bearing on my persona.

Good stuff, all the best.

Think that precedent was set last year with the tackle Sneyd made on McGuire, think that was deemed a season ender and possible break only for him to be classed as fit for selection at the game 5 days later.

I'm not expecting the JB ruling to set any precedent at all going forward, as someone said earlier in this thread JB suffered from not playing for a 'big boy' club and the media playing of Powell. I'll guarantee that over the next 2 days we'll see worse 3rd man tackles (although hopefully not causing the injury) that will go unpunished

There is always one. I remember one of them accusing Senior of deliberately bringing his knee down on the back of Chev Walkers calf when he broke his leg at Headingley. You can't reason with myopia of this nature!

Unfortunately I think you are correct. They was a similar incident with Mickey Paea ironically against Cas a couple of years ago. At the hearing Radford presented evidence to the committee showing that there were 2/3 tackles that were the same as Paea's that round but the ban was not overturned. Complete lack of consistency.
