He is free to play with no ban but it wasn't because there was no case to answer. The panel said the video evidence didn't see what the did so they dismissed it through lack of video evidence. that is completely different than no case to answer.

I bet they tried their best to find something though !!!!, they couldn't because there was nothing in the tackle, I'm sure Jon Wilkin could have helped

That would be a huge blow for us.

As the saying goes you don't know what you've got until it's gone(or at least out injured) and thats been the case when he hasn't been playing recently. He does such a simple job for us but like in the Grand Final just makes room for guys like Sam Tomkins and Leuluai to work their magic.

Hopefully his wife will keep her legs crossed
