Goes to Brett Ferres. What the hell was he thinking? Only weeks after the McKinnon incident and he purposefully dumps Lomax on his head??? I'm supporting Hudds in this game but red card and substantial ban deserved.

Not only horribly dangerous, your team is marginally ahead against a good saints side and you're defending your line.

Ferres, sir, you are a complete and utter f*ckwit. Have a few weeks off.

NOPE, prize numbskull goes to that ref decision. Absolutely DISGUSTING

Bentham defo got Saints in the CC sweepstake.

Hmmm which is most disgusting, someone driving a player on his head weeks after a high profile nrl tragedy, or an ambiguous drop goal decision.

so close. I simply cannot decide.

Oh come off it. Of course the tackle is worse, but it's pretty topical to talk about ref decisions straight after the match. Ferres should get banned for a long time.

There's plenty of other threads already about the drop goal incident.

None were posted when I replied to this one. But please, keep bagging on about it.

He should get 7 games according to what the NRL did. Still not convinced on the kick though. very close.

Should get the maximum possible ban (Bar a permanent one). Deliberate, completely intentional lift, turn and drive. And in the context of the game, what an utter fool.

Danny Brough a close second. Three efforts at a drop goal less than 15 metres out and he misses them all, awful.

it was actually quite abit worse than the tackle which caused mckinnons injury. Ferres was also in control of the tackle there was no second or 3rd man in.

Frankly, ferres should have the book thrown at him and should suffer the maximum possibly penalty.

McLean received seven matches for an innocuous looking tackle on McKinnon, the Ferres one was very dangerous.

Shame the game ended with such controversy, how Bentham could judge the Brough drop goal from where he was stood I’ll never know.

Lomax showed a remarkably amount of nerve and skill to hold his head straight. If he had tucked in, it could of been a nightmare...

Where were you in relation to the effort?

I know where I was, I also know the V.R had the best view, are you saying that option wasn't available to Bentham?

It was worse than the Mckinnon one. Lives up to the 'rugby players are thick' stereotype. Now we will see if they punish the tackle (in which case 7 games) or the injury (in this case none, therefore a lesser ban). Whatever he gets he cant complain

The Ferres tackle was shocking, but people saying it was intentional are absolutely daft. He clearly lifts Lomax, but Lomax propels himself forward (driving for more yards in the tackle). That momentum into the lift puts him in the dangerous position, which Ferres should have corrected.

Certainly not intentional, but deserves a hefty ban. I'd guess at 4 games.

Blind. He clearly lifted Lomax. Once above the horizontal, you can see him perform an almost pile-driver.

Nasty, filthy, malicious attempt from a professional. 2 months out of the game, please.

Ferres could be looking at 8 games, and Brough could be looking at similar for the clear foul language aimed at Bentham

Did Ferres suddenly think he was the Undertaker? Almost a textbook piledriver that one. Terrible, possibly one of the worst spear tackles ever, luckily Lomax was not hurt.

I honestly don't want to believe he intended to drive lomax's head in the ground but it looked pretty bad. I think Lomax's momentum contributed as did his leg drive but it is Ferres' responsibility to ensure his tackle is safe. That clearly was not.

Given recent events in Australia Ferres will likely end up with a very long ban.

Fair thread. Bentham's call was almost impossible, and an honest error in my view. Ferres made a deliberate attempt to execute a throw which could have paralysed a fellow player. I hope he gets a record ban.

I think that Ferres will get a 4 game ban

It's a shame that this is one of the worst incidents of this nature since the Alex McKinnon incident and he could possibly be made a scapegoat for the tackle where as previous players have got off scott free for similar incidents

I thought that the tackle on Hull FC 's Whiting against Widnes was even worse though and that tackle only was worthy of a warning?

Ferres is a very dangerous thug. Worse than Jordan McLean's effort. 12 weeks please.

Not a chance in SL
