Menzie charged : Thu Sep 01, 2011 3:10 pm  

@RLChampionships: "Sheffield Eagles centre Menzie Yere charged with Grade B dangerous contact and will face RFL Disciplinary Committee next week #rugbyleague"

I guess this means he'll probably miss the first playoff game.

Guilty until proved innocent ?

What is this - Libya ?

Knowing the RFL, it'll be a 6 game ban and a £2000 fine.

Do you think that kind of tackle is acceptable in our game??

All he did was pick him up smash him on the ground,like 99% of most tackles,Unfortunatly his head hit the ground first,Surely that is not an offence,pure accidental.Shouldnt have even been a penalty.

Jeez, get your blinkers off! It's a tough sport and sometimes it goes OTT. This was one of those occassions. The video evidence supports a guilty verdict, the panel agreed and with a degree of irony, so did the sheffield fans sat across the aisle from me at the game.

He made a dangerous tackle and rightfully got a ban. It's not the Brinxx Matt robbery is it?

Disagree.

Menzie is a legend but can be a liability at times, picks up a couple of bans every season for dangerous tackles, suppose it comes with the territory of such a big hitter, especially with his style of tackling, hardly textbook.
