Quote ="Billinge_Lump"Congratulations perhaps?
No one will get any ban from that game, it wasn't dirty enough, it was just a good hard game. The Coley high shot looked the worse, but the in game decision was correct. The tackle started around the shoulder area and bounced up.'"
No, If you think that's worse than Cunningham's high shot immediately afterwards that started at the NECK, or Cunningham's elbow shot, you need to think back to Newton on Long all that time ago.
Quote All in all Ganson had a good game, the only real mistake was the reef decision. The Tomkins in touch was correct, the momentum of the tackle had not stopped. Had he been going over the line and plonked the ball down it would have correctly been given as a try.'"
No, it would have been a double movement, because his arm had been grounded.
Regarding Leon Pryce, I would actually be prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt on that one. The ball had only been loose on the floor a microsecond before he committed his slide. The little after-flick could have been deliberate OR accidental.
It was slightly dangerous and irresponsible, but I'd hesitate to actually claim deliberate. Warning letter sufficient.
Cunningham? Ban him for 6 months. Purely based on being consistent with the ban Newton got, of course.
