[QUOTE="LittleDavey, post: 3602387, member: 8255"] Watching it live, I thought it was just an unfortunate head clash. But thinking about it more, the way May came up so aggressively needs to be taken into account. That contact did not need to be made, he was trying to put a hit on - after Walsh had passed the ball - and it went wrong. Not unlike repeated situations which got shoulder charges banned. As does the injury sustained to Walsh - which I have to say I'm not a fan of, a penalty should be for an act, not a result IMO and it seems harsh to me to penalise someone more harshly because the other player suffered an injury. But that's the way the NRL has ruled historically, so the fact Walsh has a facial fracture should be taken into account, on precedent. I'm OK with the penalty on field, it [U]was[/U] accidental and this stuff happens. I don't believe he should have been binned. BUT - under the NRL's own definitions it was either a reckless high tackle, or a shoulder charge, or at the very least late contact after the attacker had passed the ball. There must be a charge, I can't understand how the NRL can say 'nothing to see here'. Walsh has a busted face and is facing 1/4 of the season on the sidelines as a result. [/QUOTE]
