Really? Bugger.

Can't see it on the RFL site though (although the disciplinary page is a mess)

As soon as it happened I expected him to get charged, even though it's completely wrong. We're now likely to be missing our captain and most influencial player for the most important game of the season. Great.

Just seen it. Oh well.

Decision based on the injury happening rather than the tackle.

Absolute disgrace and further proof of everything that is wrong with the game in this country.

In the same week Poore is given a warning for driving a player head first into the ground Ellis is going to be banned for a tackle which in Australia wouldnt even have got a mention.

If crabtree gets away with his then the actions of this panel is beyond belief.

IF Ellis has committed an offence and gets punished for it, fair enough. What hacks me off is the inconsistency. Justin Poore could have put McDonnell in a wheelchair for the rest of his life and gets away with a caution. Madness

contact with the head, illegal. should of been no try and a penalty to us.

happened v saints for us too with mullally and gardner

so no blame on Robinsons part for ducking into the tackle? no shoulder was used, no penalty at the time was given, only blubbing baloos' outburst has led this to be looked at!

So everytime Burrows ducks and runs head first into a player that should be a penalty?

I hate it when I'm right.

So do I.

Poore didn't do that.

As I said earlier .It was not an illegal tackle (IMHO) but the RFL are the RFL. On the positive side at least the Dragons have 2 players up in front of the disciplinary.

I'm beginning to dislike agreeing with you

But there again, no mention of Crabtree.

Quote ="hullbg"Looking at the incident again www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... 0QOHKjNiTE (Official SL highlights link) it makes Andersons statement of a shoulder charge to the head look foolish. Will he be forthcoming with an apology to Ellis or the "muppets"'" Charged with a grade B offence, so why should Anderson apologise for one of team being knocked out and the officials waving play on for the opposition to score and even the game up? Truly am at a loss

Because it's the wrong decision.

Perhaps for calling the officials muppets? Whether right or wrong that's out of order.

Anderson said it was an attack to the head . It wasn't. He said it was a blatant shoulder charge . It wasn't. He was correct in saying the game should have been stopped though.

It it wasn't a attack to the head, how did Ellis knock Robinson out?

Why have the RFL charged Ellis with a grade B offence?

As I said because the RFL are the RFL.

Because he couldn't take the hit that Ellis gave, most people can't when he connects like that. And the RFL have it wrong.

I suspect you already know what a stupid comment that is. Or at least I hope you do for your own sake.

It could easily have been a whiplash injury, with no direct contact to the head.

The trauma to Robinson would have been the same, but there would have been no penalty, and Ellis would not have been charged.

Contact with the head doesn't have to be an "attack". What actually knocked Robinson out, Dr Birkby?



Does god exist?

Will FC ever win at Wembley?

One of life's great mysteries, I'm afraid.

because of andersons' outburst!

have you seen the tackle, robinson wasn't looking and ducked into ellis, it wasn't a attack to the head, it was poor play by robinson imo! no shoulder was used! I expect fc to challenge the decision
