What are you on about? This tackle was very similar. Your black and white specs are steaming up, you'd best give them a wipe.

It really wasn't. Were you all rushing to sneyd's defence last season when he accidentally rolled maguire's ankle?

Well after watching the Salford match, Percival was tackled in the same manner as Shenton last weekend. Percival has gone off injured with crutches. Shall we see what the outcome is!?!

Absolutely no comparison in the two tackles but I thought at the time that some one on the HKR forum would try and justify Boudezbas tackle on Shenny by mentioning this.

I see we've found the real reason why you're in the minority here. So your basically just stirring the $hit because of something that happened last year that's burnt away at you all this time.

I think the main comparison is that in both a player ended up injured and neither were illegal challenges.

I beg to differ. The only outcome is Percival might miss a few matches, not a season. So shall we say.....2 games? Looking at it, the player tackled was very similar to last week. In other words, it was 'unfortunate' and 'not in the spirit of the game'. But a player is injured non the less, so let's up the grading and give a ridiculous ruling, and let that be the end of it.

OK then mate I'll have a final last say if you don't mind. Before I do can I just say that we struggled to get tickets but were rescued very late by the HKR ticket office who asked if we would mind sitting in with HKR fans. We said that it was no problem as far as we were concerned and we were looked after very well from the moment we parked up. Great banter with the fans around us and handshakes all round at the end.

I don't know if fans on here missed it or have just chosen to ignore it but Micheal Shentons statement on the incident made my mind up. It was obvious as he left the field that he wasn't happy and as one of the nicest, most honest and respected players in super league you have to respect what he said. I have never heard him say a bad word about another player in all the times I've watched him (fair enough that doesn't mean he hasn't) but he said after the game that Boudebzas tackle was reckless. I can only assume that he passed his Feelings on to Powell.

So do you chose to disbelieve such a well respected ambassador to the sport as Shenny who was better placed than any one to see and feel what happened or do you slavishly follow your adored Mr. Hudgell. The same Mr. Hudgell who lambasts the panel for having a member on it who never played a game of rugby league when as far as I know he never played himself.

Why does he say that Boudebza is distraught when one of the reasons the RFL gives for the doubling of the ban is Boudebza's lack of remorse. Why is he remorseful if he thinks he didn't do any thing wrong?

I would not blame any of you for thinking I am biased but if it comes down purely to rugby league experience I would believe Shenny before your owner. I wonder what his statement would have been if the roles had been reversed and a Cas player had caused a season ending injury to your captain.

Isn't that exactly what happened last season.

Hull KR have been dealt a significant blow with the loss of their influential captain Terry Campese for the rest of the season. The former Canberra Raiders stand-off went off with a knee injury against Castleford a fortnight ago, and further scans have revealed he suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and will undergo surgery.

Nothing in the tackle on Percival at all IMO. Just because a player was injured doesn't make tackles similar. JB's been hard done to yes, but it shouldn't mean we want every tackle that causes an injury to be punished.

No, I just find the fickleness of RL fans amusing and their ability to switch opinions based on club bias hilarious
