Facing a ban afer being charged with making dangerous contact with Lee Gaskell. Can submit and early guilty plea.

Normal suspension range for a grade C offence like this is 2-3 games.

I don't think there was intent but if Gaskill was injured in that tackle it isn't good.

Have not seen the tackle but if he's done it he'll have to pay the price, or rather we will.

Just on FullTime as I read this: if he only lasted that first tackle he was round the legs and looked totally fine to me.
Can only be a twist like Elima they are looking at IMO, but that was a higher grade.
Did he play on and get hit later?

Don't think so, hobbled around for a couple of minutes then went off. He's out for 8-12 weeks I think. Guess they've classed it as a 'cannonball' tackle.

If he takes the EPG he'll get 2 games.

No mention of the shoulder barge I'm guessing? In first couple of sets?

Ridiculous, Collis did nothing wrong what so ever.

If anything surely they should be looking at Addys tackle on Sammut, for me that was nasty and could of caused a very serious injury

They did. No charge.

Do the RFL want to help Bradford out anymore?!
Let's all hope that kienhorst is okay to play against Wigan then!!

Well I think the RFL and all associated with them (Refs Vid Refs) have showed their intentions for Wakey this season.

Put your safety glasses on boys and keep your mouths shut cos their going to send some poop our way.

Can't say I saw anything wrong with the tackle at the game or watching it back on sky. Don't think anything was said by sky team either so can't have been an obvious one.

All we need now is for Roby or hicks to be named as ref on Sunday and the conspiracy theories are effectively confirmed

Seems the bulls fans are surprised by the charge for Collis as well

We are, didn't look much in it, see the same numerous times every game.

I can only imagine he got caught up in this year's thing to crack down on (for a few rounds). www.sportinglife.com/rugby-leagu ... unishments Can't say I remember much about it tbh though. Genuinely surprised to see he could be facing a ban.

I really dont know how Roby, Childs and Hicks are SL referees they are the worst, for all teams.

It's an odd one this. You see tackles similar to the one Collis made in pretty much every single game.
If Collis makes that tackle, and Gaskell gets up fine and plays the full 80, would Collis still be charged with a dangerous tackle? I doubt it.

I am glad that the rfl are looking at these so called 'cannonball' tackles, but you can't just highlight the ones that actually end up doing some damage.

Something that just occurred to me - the incident was not put on report at the time. I wonder if the Bulls have made a complaint/highlighted the incident to the match commissioner and asked the rfl to take a look at it?

Unlikely. The RFL review every game. Why report is pointless.

I am surprised Collis has been called up, I thought it was just a tackle around the legs. The RFL seem to be getting confused by cannonball/undue pressure on the leg and what is just a normal tackle around the legs.

I think what did Collis was Gaskell got injured and the sky cameras are there. Everything looks worse in slow motion.

Would like to hear the RFL explain how Collis should get a ban, yet In the WCC O'louhhlin PULLS a players leg while he is on ground.

Couldn't see anything wrong myself.

And Addy faces no charge for his WWE move on Sammut?

It's a crazy world!

Was it the Peoples Elbow? Or more Sweet Chin Music?

Bit like big Ali grappling Luke Gale on the floor



Didn't see anything wrong with the tackle on Gaskell though.

Not see the tackle back so cant comment but I guess Sykes will move to centre meaning Sammut can start in the halfs.

Just watched it , nothing there .

Couldn't see anything in it at the time or on the replay.
