Having watched it again, I'd agree with you. Although I'd say 3-4 games rather than 2-3 since it's not the first time he's misjudged a "big hit". I don't think he intentionally hit him high, but if he's going to go in to tackles like that he has to be a lot more careful.

Well, I have posted elsewhere about 3 matches, A hefty fine and a severe warning about his technique, Lets face it. If he got done again, He would be in for a 6-8 game ban after the warning.

I dont think he tried attacking the head with the Elbow/Forearm, Which is different to the Terry Newton incidents. I think he goes for a massive shot to lift his team, And BADLY misjudges it.

I wouldn't defend it, I dont think the initial contact was the elbow, And i wont argue a ban, But these saying months bans are pathetic. 3 or 4 games, And he will have to take it on the chin. May do him good.

More you watch it the worse it looks. He only received a caution from the disaplinary about three weeks ago for striking as well. Should be a lengthy ban, especially when you take into account the severity of the injury caused.

Pause it at 11 seconds and you'll see first contact is Chase's shoulder, but it's still high.

So if he gets a ban it will be the same as what Moa got for the same challenge.

6 months for me, worst challenge I've ever seen and that includes Hopoate's infamous ear bleed challenge.

Your view on the challenge by a Wkefield player on Friday night that left Rob Burrow with a suspectyed fractured cheekbone?

Did you post your disgust about that or is it just reserved for alleged fouls from Cas players?

Why?, when it's been confirmed as an accidental clash of heads with Kirmond

You really do need to watch both incidents again, there's no comparison with the Moa/Rinaldi incident

They were both sloppy going for a shoulder charge and hit someone in the head.

The only difference is one was a red card, the other the ref and touch judge deemed fair...so the problem here is the consistency of officials.

Unless you are watching a different tackle you must be blind. There is no shoulder charge because his arm is lifted so far away from his body.

A shoulder charge leads with the shoulder.

This is a lead with the forearm / elbow. I think it is the elbow that connects.

However without the bemefit of slow mo frame by frame it is difficult to tell.

Just watched it again on youtube. What a cowardly assault. Anyone excusing that as 'mistimed' or 'reckless' need their eyes testing. It was assault.
