Bobruce posted " if it was accidental " , not as a question but as a statement , so , has he seen it ? , or does he have doubt ? The tackle was high , he contacted Reynolds face , so is Gregg Bird capable of something like that ? Given his other shennanigans during the match , yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not deemed a late tackle under the Laws of the game so stop making things up/ excuses for the thuggery of Acton Show me the rule appertaining to that.

As I put earlier he's recieved one less game of a ban than Ben Flowers , now that was an attack , one that did finish somebodies career , one that included 2 punches , one on a player prone on the pitch Basically Bird knew exactly what he was doing , and was willing to get himself injured if neccessary ( Reynolds nose was already bleeding prior to this tackle ) to either intimidate or remove a key player from our team , he then fained injury to try to avoid getting punished for it ( something Sam Moa avoided later in the game because Leigh scored during the play ) Believe what you want , as will I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm persuaded. your tautly written incisive last sentence brings everything together like an Amish barn raising. just one question, because as you must realise by now, I'm stupid. Why do 'they' have an agenda against your club and this player? oh just another sneaky one if thats ok by you. Who are 'they'? The disciplinary panel? The RFL? Both of them?

Guest Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Its a rediculous ban,given the outcome of events. A players injury should be taken into account,those are the rules. Have they been followed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you certainly have to wonder , I have to admit I find the disciplinary system in RL somewhat strange , the EGP system allowing lesser punishments , an offence is an offence , we recently have seen Ben Westwood recieve a yellow card and a 4 game ban for a spear tackle , and yet Paul McShane got no card and a 2 match ban for an identical offence , far too often similar or identical offences are punished drastically different The weekend before the recent International saw not one single player up before the panel , very convenient If we want parents to take their sons to play the sport , then deliberate acts of thuggery designed to injure players must be penalised properly and evenly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
