With this extra context:
"Detail –Defender uses any part of his body forcefully to twist, bend or otherwise apply pressure to the limb or limbs of an opposing player in a way that involves an unacceptable risk of injury to that player".
I can clearly still not see why the tackle was cited!

Unbelievable.
I still can't see what's wrong with the tackle.
Pathetic.

Flower is literally just hanging on to the players shirt at the waist and being dragged along slightly. He does nothing more. The player falls under flower without flower altering his grip or twisting in anyway. He gets up uninjured. If that's a two match ban then all tackles are two match bans if any joint ends up with pressure. Think of all the twisted ankles that should have been 6 match bans!
Re: flower banned 2 matches
So westerman does exactly what smithies got 4 matches for and nothing is done,but they can hammer smithies purely because he plays for wigan.Rugby league is rotten to the core no wonder its dying on it arse ,what a joke.Sky commentators are a disgrace.

Re: flower banned 2 matches
I can actually see what the problem is with the tackle. Flower has hold of the player and his feet are on the ground. He then throws his body to the side, lifting his feet, knowing this will pull the player back to him. This means flower will land on the players legs and bend him back.
Keep an eye of Flowers legs, why does he jump to the side instead of just holding on. It’s like a wrestling throw.
