Not as far as I'm aware, otherwise we just say he's fit anyway. Can't see the RFL doing a medical on them.
Theoretically if he gets a 2 match ban h will only miss the games he's not fit for.

As for the 'tackle' it was poor but not malicious, very bad technique and a bit of a desperate swing. No where near as bad as Bailey's first one on Monday which had definite intent

Given there's a 6" height discrepancy (Burns 5' 9" - Crooks 6' 3"icon_wink.gif suggest a little more than bad technique

no but if it was the worse tackle ever seen as so many as your fellow fans are pointing out then surely the player would have some kind of injury dont you agree ie it wasnt that bad

why do you keep saying this of course they dont wait until hes fit it makes no difference whether hes injured or not

Has to plead guilty and hopefully settle for a one match ban.

In many ways he was lucky not to end up in the bin (at the very least) given the circumstances of the challenge. By no means a certainty but Hull looked likely to score until the high shot. Think it was Crooks' reaction that possibly helped him avoid any punishment at the time too. I don't think it was the worst high shot but it wasn't too clever either.

Also think the next time we have Ganson and we end up on a team warning - we remove Horne from the field for 10 mins. Twice now he's been put in the bin by Ganson for a 'high shot' being the one more and you're in the bin theory.

Both of which were never high anyway, he was just unlucky.

Didn't look that bad to me, thought he struck Crooks around the collar bone, penalty & talking to seemed sufficient. Tbf I have only seen one angle though, not sure if replays make it look worse. Not understanding the disclipinary here. Burns has been summoned for a grade B but Ryan Bailey has the option of an early plea for a grade C? www.superleague.co.uk/article/27 ... rs-charged

Initial impact is with the temple (and Crooks is a TALL lad) and ends up around his neck.

So, depending on which club you support it is either:

a) nothing in it, penalty sufficient

b) worst tackle ever, sine die

Well lets see what the disciplinary lot say. If he cops a ban then we're right. If not, then you are. Can't say fairer than that.

This is the only angle on Rovers tv, SL highlights don't show the tackle & SL show isn't on iplayer yet. Pretty inconclusive based on that, need more of a front on view. Travis' arm is swinging horizontal / upwards & Crooks is falling so how does the contact start at the temple & end round the neck?

Nowt like sitting on the fence

You know me Ginge. As fair as they come!!

That is very true

2 match ban, will miss St Helens and Huddersfield games.

Wasn't the worst tackle but looked pretty malicious the way he swung his arm around and hit crooks in the head. Certainly was never an attempt at a legitimate tackle and he knew what he was doing. He has previous for it so no surprise it's coming out here already. Still, I'm guessing he's probably wishing ganson did send him off

I have not seen one FC fan claim it to be the worst tackle EVER despite what some of you claim.

However, it was bad and should have been punished properly by Ganson.

Fair enough.

Best/worst camera is sky's in SE corner.

Shows how bad it is. And Crooks was NOT falling.

Haven't watched it since, at the time on SKY I thought he was lucky not to get sent off and was a minimum yellow.

I felt he got neither at the time because Ganson was too fat to keep up and get a decent view of the incident.

Two games is what's deserved. I'm not sure you can do that maliciously at that speed, if he can he'll spend most of his time in the stands, it was certainly a bad one but not the worst I've seen. Worst one in recent memory for me was Mathers on King a few years ago.

kr fans saying nothing wrong with it how come hes got a 2 match ban???

Oh my.

What all of them?

A good few yeah bud.

Bent redhall rfl are a joke
