Wrong. Clumsy Idiot.

He may get 3 games but it was clumsy and not for me dirty or malicious .. unlike Wilkin's shoulder to Dobsons face

I thought Meli lined Hall up and swung at his head.
Dirty all day long.

Meli will be out for longer with injury than he will for the ban. Shocking! It was worse than Mathers on King.

After watching it back on Sky Plus, I reckon that's the worst contact with the head I have seen in 30 years. Meli is seriously lucky he didn't kill Hall there, the way his head flopped about knocked me sick.

I would expect the most severe punishment possible from the RFL and I would be disappointed personally if he doesn't apologise and if the club don't condemn him for it and discipline him internally before the disciplinary meets.

He should be released for that. Shocking and completely needless challenge that has cost us our season. Hope his arm hurts a lot tonight.

It was a stupid and desparate challenge, but he is still worth keeping for one more season, alongside your big mate wello.

I think he could be looking at 8 matches ban.

It was about as bad a challenge as you're likely to see. His only defence is that he wasn't actually trying to kill Hall, and it was gross negligence rather than intent. He might get away with that defence because (a) it was high speed, rather than a head-on-line-'em-up hit; and (b) his previous record is pretty good.

However, it was bad. He'll not be playing for a long time, whether he's dislocated his elbow or not.
