As the previous poster mentioned I think Hansen made it worse than it was going to be, but McIlorum shouldn't be lifting in the first place. Any player who has to appear before the disciplinary on a 1-2 match ban, will just make the guilty plea and miss the cup weekend, no great punishement there.

any player can lift legs horizontally to make the tackle and if a second player comes in and applies pressure to the upper body physics say the legs will go above verticle. No malice or intent in the tackle from either player but the RFL will probably ban Mike despite not really doing anything wrong. Are we really gonna get to a point where a player is afraid to lifts legs incase the pressure applied to upper body from a 2nd player causes the legs to go above horizontal. There needs to be some common sense applied and intent needs to play a part in the decision The fact the legs are above horizontal does not make a tackle dangerous

no comments on how he was the best hooker on the field?

It sure looked like intent to me and that wasn't what happened.
He could have let go before the legs went above the "verticle".

your interpretation is different to mine then but im not gonna spend endless entries trying to change your mind. Mike did nothing wrong, Hansen's inclusion made the legs go above horizontal after Mike had lifted them to make the tackle. If thats intent maybe you should go watch wendyball. Im sure the melodramtic view would be welcomed

McIlorum was the best hooker on the field today, and by some way.

God you have a blinkered view, the legs were barely verticle and the only the reason the legs went slightly above verticle was due to Hansen coming in on the upper body. The tackle to the letter of the law may get a ban but it certainly wasnt dangerous. Normally id put such stupid blinkered remarks down to a few post game sherberts then i saw who posted and take it it as standard as someone who really has no clue about anything RL
