Think Saints have a bit of a point feeling hard done by with that red card - definitely think it is a response to not using the red in the last couple of weeks. A yellow would have been fair, but I can't see any further action at disciplinary.

Sam Moa sent off against London in 2012 despite the fact it showed that the 'high' tackle hit the shoulder and the whiplash affect was because of the impact to the shoulder not to the head but sent off from that.
Gareth Raynor in attempting to dislodge the ball in a bradford/Wigan CC encounter smashed rat boy in the chops so Ganson basically used the video replay to send him off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqHwSA2gEkk

The Sam Moa one was a definite red. Shoulder to the head.

The Sam Moa one was a definite red. Shoulder to the head.
As was Raynor. Cynical & deliberate in my book. Although he could have claimed diminished responsibility as it was on Tomkins.
Amor's was also red. Otherwise it will become acceptable to decapitate anyone as long as you hit lower down first then onto the head. I accept, in Amor's case, any ban should reflect the accidental nature of the incident.
