Clubb : Mon May 02, 2016 9:44 pm  

Charged with grade B striking with the shoulder according to this: http://www.sportinglife.com/rugby-leagu ... 10267287/- I don't remember anything other than the tackle on Lineham. Surely it can't be for that?

yes it is the tackle on lineham,

There was no clash of heads.

He made initial and direct contact with the head resulting in a semi conscious player and a trip to hospital.

Definitely the right decision, i couldn't believe that none of the (admittedly clueless) commentators saw it.

Does he have an EGP to use?

Ridiculous decision. The only way to prevent accidents is to ban the sport completely. The ban handed out for the Shenton tackle was a joke and this will be in the same category. I'm sorry that Lineham got hurt but it's all part of the game, or used to be.

The sport will end up 9 a side touch rugby , that's the way it's heading

It could be that the post tackle verbals went against Clubb when the review took place

Re: Clubb : Tue May 03, 2016 12:53 pm  

To be fair you can see on one of the angles that his shoulder has hit Lineham straight in the face. Granted, if he had been able to get up they probably wouldn't have noticed. Hopefully next time he'll bend his back a bit, it was a cracking hit though!

Taken the EGP so misses the Dewsbury game - Could be argued it was a tactical EGP rather than risk missing the Hull game as well. Think he can consider himself unlucky.

Have you actually watched the tackle again since the game? I have several times and the only part of Clubb's anatomy that comes into contact with Lineham's head, is his head.

So are we really punishing big tackles and accidental head clashes now?

I've not seen the angle you're referring to, but even so, is it really a bannable offence? I'm quite worried about the direction the game is going in if we're punishing tackles like that.

Given that there wasn't any outrage form Sky and there's nothing but what appears to be a good tackle why EGP? Frustrating that EGP was entered in this case from what's on the RFL site. http://www.rugby-league.com/the_rfl/dis ... rch=search
