Will Pryce

[MZH]

Don't for one second think he meant to cause harm but the tackle by young Pryce today was a shocker. Got to be at least 5 games for that surely? Thankfully Connor Wynne is fine.

 

[RigbyLuger]

That's a terrible tackle. Where'd he learn that? WWE?

[Sir Kevin Sinfield]

Never mind the tackle that footage is terrible. Was that filmed on a Nokia 3310

[Dave T]

I see nothing to be offered as any kind of mitigant. That is the worst tackle I have seen for a long time, and far worse than any punch or any other offence we have seen punished recently at 5 matches. 

This really should be a long ban. 

[EagleEyePie]

Wow, I don't remember seeing a tackle worse than that since I've been watching the sport. Of course he didn't mean to do it, but that's not really any mitigation. No control in that whatsoever and the consequences could have been awful.

Looking at the sentencing guidelines I'm not sure if they'll go for Grade D-E 'throwing player into the ground' or Grade E-F 'drives player into ground on head or neck' as it looks like he throws the player and they land on their head/neck. Although there's an A-F band for 'any other dangerous throw'.

With everything that's been said about the need to protect players and the increased bans for offences that may appear somewhat minor, I really can't see how this doesn't get 7-8 matches.

[Jughead]

It’s a bad one. It wouldn’t surprise me if we see the longest ban of the season so far handed out in this instance. 

[daz39]

And incidents like this are exactly why i stated the other week he was nowhere near international standard, he had a shocker of a game and this probably smacks more of frustration then malice, he still has a lot to learn.

[WN83]

A poor one and you’d imagine he’s going to be sat out for a couple of months.

We're quick to hype after a couple of games and not just let players develop without added external pressure. Always looking for a new superstar.

[Liverpool Rover]

That would have been a red card in the eighties never mind now. I’m sure he didn’t go in with the intention of doing that but that has to be a very lengthy ban.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

That was a real shocker. 

[Live after death]

8 games, no less for me, thats potentially neck brake and life changing injuries. 

[meast]

The only mitigation Will could have in avoiding a long ban is his previous behaviour etc.

It looked awful from the away end and despite being filmed in 2002 it looks awful on the clip.

I'm sure he didn't mean it to turn out like it did, he was obviously frustrated but you can't do things like that.

Time to take him out of the firing line and let him grow up a bit, he's still not really ready for a regular SL place IMO.

[Dunbar]

The wisdom of Twitter shown well in the comments.  One comment is 'Games gone never a foul' while the one directly below is 'That’s a 5 season ban that'.

I suspect it will be something in between, but a long ban.  The main thing is thank goodness Connor Wynne is ok.

Someone was having a game of snake but got bored and decided to film a bit of the match. 

[Chris22]

Reminds me of this Ben Pomeroy tackle a few years ago which received a six match ban. I would expect at least the eight, if not more given the crackdown. Maybe 8, if he pleads guilty and shows remorse / holds his hands up etc.

I think he intended to turn Wynne rather than tip him over, but the force and driving him into the ground isn't good.

[sentoffagain2]

  Hope he learns from it no need for tackles like that.What was he thinking?.

[Loiner]

If Bentley got 4 for the tackle on Widdop I'd expect nothing less than 8 for that, absolutely appalling.

Pomeroys tackle for Catalans v Cas was very similar.  IIRC he got 6 matches.

If the panel is consistent with the approach this year then that would be increased.

Hopefully no long term implications for Wynne.

Brock Lesnar all over that.

Actually... This is more Brock Lesnar. Very good German suplex!

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Very early in a career to have to play the previous good behaviour and not that type of player cards.

[dkw]

I can only think he's gone for some kind of wrestling supplex thing to land him on his back, but got it very very wrong and its good to hear Wynne didn't suffer anything too bad, as that could have been a season ender for him, or worse.

Anyone saying games gone soft after seeing that is a moron, that's a red card in any game in any season.

I strongly suspect anyone saying the games gone soft after that are being sarcastic.

I don't think he was thinking, it appeared to be spur of the moment, frustration, something he needs to learn to channel.
