Your wish is my command Sir.

Personally I think that the ban should stand, as that type of tackle is as dangerous as it gets. I do think that it is harsh to have been given during the play-offs after so many have gone unpunished through the regular season. The fact that over the season this offense being given a ban is an exception rather than a rule I would say teh RFL have to take a long look at themselves.

Clearly Colin has taken as many hits to the head as his rambling, stat obsessed offspring.

Not read the thread, just wanted to note that a ban is ridiculous. I understand that spear tackles are dangerous and need to be prevented....but this was more a case of the tackler at the top end (leuluai?) letting go as Buderus tackles around the waist, resulting in the tackled landing on his shoulders (not neck or head).

Disappointing that those on the panel don't see the difference in accidental and deliberate....especially from a player who is not known for dirty play.

He's appealed

Where he lands shouldn't be reflected in the punishment (or lack of), its just like punishing a high tackle that breaks a jaw more than a high tackle that doesn't

Remember folks, "at no stage does Buderus place his hands between the tackled players legs".

Can't see anything on any websites about Danny B appealing ?

I'm fairly certain nobody apart from you two actually cares.

Never a 1 game ban in a million years. A fine and warning at best. End of.

Watching those highlights again brings it home just how much we will miss Mcguire...

I am fairly certain the victim cares, the RFL Judiciary cares and that now our "indispensable hooker" is banned, he cares.

I do know exactly what he is talking about and it's hardly pedantry to refute his patently untrue statement that



"At No Stage" Andy, "At no stage".

FWIW, I don't agree with his fog knitting back track statement about when and how the hand now does appear between his legs but i am not going to get into that.

Suffice to say, if he wants to disagree with me and make patently untrue yet unequivocal statements I have the right to refute them. You may found it tedious but luckily it's not my responsibility to entertain accountants.

Ive heard he has had sleepless nights and is having councelling....get a grip ffs.

thaz funny G

That's a nonsensical comparison.

If the player landed on his back it's not a spear tackle...how he lands has everything to do with it.

Here is an example

It wasn't a 'spear' tackle or even a 'dangerous throw.' (In my view)

He didn't lift the player after placing his hands between his legs.

Gotcha and G1 are funny and everyone can judge for themselves which one's a lawyer.

The tackle it most resembled for me was Coley on Delaney in the cup game at Headingley.

Coley received a 1 game ban for that, so did Buderus (at this point.)

However I wouldn't have handed out a ban for either as both were examples of dominant tackles where players end up being crashed into the ground by physics rather than design.

A reasoned opinion as always brother TVOC.

I note your agreement with the blatantly obvious fact that he did place his hands between the legs and I also note that Buderus ban is consistent with the ban given to Coley for the same offence, despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth on here.

I just hope that Diskin and the team respond to Buderus' absence the same way he and they did last year, though it will be tougher without McGuire and peacock.

On that photo it certainly looks like Buderus is getting a grip.

Imagine if the perp was leon pryce. You lot would be up in arms.

Actually, maybe you're all as racist as those who berate TMFMISL.

Had enough of this childish behaviour now. Apologies to Andy Gilder and others, but he needs bringing down a peg or two.

Please anybody, does Buderus have his hands between the legs whilst lifting Prescott? Prescott is clear here seeing clearly between his legs.

Raise above it Gotcha, don't let him drag you down.

Look, I appreciate the comment but the childish behaviour needs to stop. Either he did have his hands between the legs whilst lifting or he didn't.

The picture is clear there. Did he have his hands between the legs lifting Prescott?

I can see it.
