MZH Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave T Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 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 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 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 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz39 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 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 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 A poor one and you’d imagine he’s going to be sat out for a couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live after death Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 8 games, no less for me, thats potentially neck brake and life changing injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meast Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 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 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 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. "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Chris22 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkw Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
