Heard a rumour that Hansen will be facing the disciplinary tonight after a tackle in Fridays match. Apparently he used his knees to crush someone shortly before the 24th minute.

Hopefully he'll be let off as it's Wembley week

Just watched from 20-30mins and didn't see a tackle from hansen that was anything than textbook

We'll wait and see

I could be wrong but it's what I've heard. We'll probably find out who has been called up in the next hour anyway

Hope not, he keeps that Joel/Deacon/Charnley side safer in defence.

He won't be missed

Hilarious

Just confirmed by RFL on their Twitter feed that he's up for a Grade B offence.

"Hansen will face a Grade B charge for dangerous contact for an incident on 25 minutes with Bulls Skipper Andy Lynch."

*gulp*

Fook

Is Andy Lynch up for the raised elbow in the 62nd minute...??

This seriously must be an error! I've just watched it from 20-30mins and during this time there is only one tackle involving Hansen and lynch and there is nothing in it, Hansen is involved in the tackle he is round the upper body and makes no contact whatsoever with lynch's legs, head, neck or shoulders!!

I am baffled

He'll be found not guilty.

I've just watched it three times - Lynch takes the ball up first tackle from the kick-off after they score to make it 14-6 and I still can't see what H does wrong.

Tickets sales must be bad in Leeds if there's the slightest possibility he could get a ban. With no evidence and a clean record there's no way on earth he should be getting a ban. However H looks to be a pawn in the RFL's latest PR stunt so don't rule anything out.

well, i'm like you am baffled, i've watched it from 20-30 and see nothing whatsoever in anything H does. to me it just shows what a bunch of buffons are in charge.

Baffled? that makes two of us.
just spent 5 mins looking for something wrong in that tackle and couldn't see owt wrong.
the rfl are taking the pi$$ citing Hansen for that tackle. (walks away shaking head)

The worrying thing is he presumably has been called up with the disciplinary after the incident has been viewed and you can't see them calling him up just to find him not guilty. Somebody must have seen something in the tackle (although I'd like to know what??)

well, i've watched it a few times and still cannot see anything amiss. the trouble with the complete idiots who view and decide what is foul play is have only cautioned ryan mcgoldrick for ramming a players head into the ground ! he didn't even get put on report.

I can't see ought in the tackle. Hock clearly punches someone in the face yet doesn't even receive a warning I believe. I think Hansen will be OK.

It looks like it's the last tackle of the 24th min, right at the beginning of the 25th... Hansen briefly nudges Lynch's lower back with his knees but nothing drastic enough to warrant going before the RFL ?!?

www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... ml&BID=480 It says he applied undue pressure on the neck or spinal coloum of the opponent. I just dont see it, lynch's head is pushed forward slightly but purely as a result of the positions of the players bodies in the tackle, there doesn't seem any risk to lynch and absolutely no reaction from anybody

How on earth did McGoldrick only get a caution for that? He grabbed the guy round the neck and deliberately slammed the players head into the ground. It's more dangerous than most spear tackles and they generally get a ban of at least 1 match. Bloody hell!

I can't see how Hansen will get a ban. He's done very little wrong in this instance and even if there is something untoward it can only be minor, at the minimum range of sanctions. Given Hansen's good disciplinary record I can't see him getting a ban.

The RFL are quite literally bent scum if they ban Hansen for this, a player with no malicious in him what so ever banned from playing at Wembley for a nothing tackle.

Roby pleaded his innocence before the semi and his record helped him so that really should be the case for Hansen.

He'd be a real miss if banned.

The recommended minimum sanction if found guilty is a one match ban. However I can't find anything wrong at all having watched it numerous times.

Just watched the tackle. If he gets banned for that it is a total disgrace. Nothing in it at all.
