Whether a player is injured or not is totally irrelevant. It is the offence that should be punished. I think Zane is top class and I love watching him play, but I don't like seeing half backs get hit late. I wouldn't have been happy if Gale had copped a hit like that.

The thing is slow any hit on a HB down it looks just as late or worse. Gale got battered v Wskey & Cas after kicking yet that doesnt count anymore.

You could send someonriff and ban even every game then if rules are gonna be interpreted like this.
But then on another day since refs probably wouldn't even have given a penalty....!

The argument that because refs sometimes might miss them then it's unfair if one of our players gets caught is pretty weak.

Not just missing them, I just don't think that hit was sending off offense...

Well, if the panel says otherwise I'm afraid you're wrong. And long term, it'll give better protection to the likes of Gale as the coaches will be doing their damnedest to ensure they're not left playing with twelve as well.

When is Tetevano hearing tomorrow? I'd imagine Agar will name him in 21 just incase he escapes a ban but can't see it for me personally didn't think it was a red a yellow would have been sufficient as I think he is late in hitting Thages but was committed too the tackle and there wasn't direct contact with the head but everyone is gonna have a split opinion on it we'll have to see how his hearing goes.

The disciplinary panel have never been reliable nor consistent just see Tommy Leuleui in week 1 v Leigh a blatant cannonball tackle didnt even get a warning.

There is a certain irony in having Paul Cullen on the panel. He'll likely be giving Tet marks out of ten rather than dishing out a ban.

Sending off was sufficient punishment

Eastmond is playing against Wigan

3 to 5 games for Tetevano. Agar says the club will be challenging.
