Bousquet must be in serious trouble this time. 2nd offence this season.

Gareth Ellis found not guilty.

 

Woohoo!

Nah I doubt that would have had any bearing on the outcome......

Rant from Ant ?

No, but the testimony from Dec helped.

Has Ellis been any good since he got back from injury? Serious question.

[RSN]

He's shown nothing special in my opinion.

He looks broken to me. He looks like a centre that's spent his career in the second row based on having a massive heart.

Hardly outstanding.

I think he can be cut a bit of slack as he must have been devastated when he pulled up with that foot injury back in early February. And, of course, his confidence must have suffered because of it.

But he hasn't really got time to build his confidence up slowly, Hull FC need performances out of him now, as time is not on his side.

Underwhelming really considering the impact he appeared to have in the NRL, can't see how it's just down to the foot injury.

Well, if he's always got that nagging worry at the back of his mind that another stress fracture may occur, it must have some effect on him, I would say.

tomkins banned one game?

[Cutsyke Raiders]

He looks broken to me. He looks like a centre that's spent his career in the second row based on having a massive heart.

And undoubted skill

Thanks for answers all. It is a worry for the World Cup because, at anything near his best, he'd be one of the first picks.

I'm sure that at his worst he'll still be one of McNamara's 1st picks.

Rant from Ant ?

I've said throughout it was never a ban worthy incident at all, it was a penalty for a sloppy tackle but that's all

No way did he deserve to miss a game and definitely not a cup quarter final.

Catalan Dragons player Julien Bousquet will miss the Tetley’s Challenge Cup quarter-final against Hull FC on Saturday after an RFL Disciplinary Tribunal found him guilty of making a reckless tackle on Scott Wheeldon of London Broncos.

Bousquet pleaded guilty to the Grade C offence, which involved him applying dangerous pressure to the head and neck of Wheeldon in the 57th minute of a Super League Round 21 fixture last Saturday. He was suspended for three matches and fined £300.

Should Catalan Dragons win Saturday’s match, which is being televised live on BBC2, Bousquet will also be unavailable for the semi-final.

The Tribunal found Hull FC captain Gareth Ellis not guilty of the Grade B charge of recklessly striking Luke Robinson of Huddersfield Giants in the 62nd minute of a Super League Round 21 fixture at KC Stadium on Sunday.

The decision clears Ellis to play in the quarter-final at Stade Gilbert Brutus on Saturday (4.00).
