Point is players have been getting a match ban for that all season, they should know better by now
I think they’ve been worse than that usually tbh. There is an argument to say the HKR player still has the ball at the first point of contact. Play that at full speed and how can he not make the challenge? The alternative for Ellis is to leave him alone and then what happens if he straightens and goes through the line? He gets pelters and rightfully so.
Just to add some context, I had no issue with that red card in the semi, so this isn’t a moan that we’re being wronged all the time but I just can’t bag Ellis in this case because I think it’s harsh.
