The lyon incident could be seen as more dangerous as pryce ran in from behind at him and jumped with his arm outstretched, deliberately aiming to knock him to the floor, also deliberately aimed at his head, as it happens the injury could have been more dangerous and serious than it actually was.

Yes we have all noticed. And plenty are now speculating about getting rid of him because his form has dropped off the scale!

It could have been a lot more dangerous than the Danny S incident. Danny ran into the tackle with his elbow and so the player landed on the floor dangerously which supposedly knocked himout. Since Karl seems to love the media, leaving him off the field could have just been a stunt to get Danny banned or fined, am sure GeoffN agrees with this?!

There are few incidents in RL that are more dangerous than a 17 st. prop leading with the elbow.
Not as spectacluar and more difficult to spot than a high tackle - but much more devastating to the defender.

No one should lead with the elbow, any one running at pace can do damage I don't really think it matters who does it. I'm sure he's learned his lesson but that doesn't take away the fact that the Pryce tackle was a very dangerous one. I think justice has been done this time, 3 match ban and a fine as long as he cant appeal against it and get nowt!
