High tackle v trip

[WESTCUMBRIARIVERSIDER]

not backing mathers one little bit, we won't miss him if he gets banned. but how is it he gets cited for a trip yet demitrou gets a no charge for a high tackle which in the wifes words lifted feka off his feet. scummings and his idiots want to get these things sorted fast before someone gets seriously injured.

Thought exactly the same thing about that tackle if a Wigan player (Mathers/McIlorum) had done that it would have been an automatic red card.

This is how it is worded on the RFL website

Incident considered High tackle in the 62nd minute
Decision No charge
Details of Charge /
Reason for NF Initial contact unclear.
Not aggressive arm.

It must have had some force in it to lift Feka off his feet, but then again he got straight back up and didn't do an academy award performance

the High Tackle looked worse then the McIlorum tackle againest St Helens.

If it was on sky it may have had better anagle and would have been banned but the RFL should not stand behind that excuss.

i hope he doesnt get banned because i would like to see him dropped

A trip is a deliberate act of foul play, a high tackle could be deliberate or accidental.

i also thought a trip was an automatic sending off, like the steve hampson incident in the 90's

It was then. They altered the rule though late 90's

i suspect the ref 'didn't see it :conf:'

anyway lets forgive and forget... we're not football fans
