Buderus cops a 1 match ban

what a surprise

Not really to most on the forum.

Something to think about; Leeds fans gave Wigan fans hell etc over some possible twitter abuse and criticising McGuire yet they are celebrating and mocking what was the most dangerous type of tackle in RL. The NRL IIRC had to start taking a tough stance following the Jarrod McCracken case and the legal implications.

Given virtually every RL fan predicted / expected this reversal does it not show how inept the RFL are. Lions led by donkeys would be an apt description.

Maybe most people thought he was hard done by in the first place eh ?

Do you?

Are you saying that such tackles are acceptable?

[steef]

no one is saying spear tackles are acceptable just that Buderus didn't intend to dump the player on his head. occasionally with the size and speeds of some hits these days players are going to end up legs in the air with their head hitting the turf. See this years SOO game 1 for what a deliberate spear tackle looks like.

Absolute joke but consistent with the rfls disciplinary sweetness towards any thuggery in the super league .

They seem to be when made by Wigan players.
