That is an interesting point, the majority of players opinion is that the shoulder charge should be legal.Injuries like this of course cause concern so I am unsure myself.One thing that does baffle me is it is legal to lead with shoulder if in possession of the ball.Seems strange to me.

I hope he recovers well its a tough sport yes it wasnt a great tackle but to call it a disgrace is just stupid. You are all lording it up about Tommys tackle on Walsmley, even posting a video on here.... well have another watch and tell me he didn't shoulder charge him.

No ban for Peyroux
According to the MRP
"Player makes a low, reasonable approach into contact on
opponent, demonstrating a wrapping motion. Opponent spins
away from contact. Player’s back and shoulder make contact
with the shoulder of player, resulting in potential whiplash
motion to opponent. Footage does not demonstrate direct or
secondary contact to the head of opponent.
Player goes to complete tackle on opponent on the ground"
Not sure what footage they were watching.....

To me too, OH.
You can add to the list hand-offs which make contact with opponent's head (like Fifita, for example). Contact with head is a penalty, but not if it's by the ball carrier, apparently. Is it any less dangerous?

He did not hit his head though,his neck went into whiplash type motion,it was a petulant tackle,one if peyroux had done to say Tommy then tommy would have just got up and doubtless exacted his revenge later on..
Just unlucky on Jake sadly still thankfully it’s nowhere near as serious as it looked and he can get on with his career

There was no need to flop on him when he knew he was injured could have made the injury worse.

I agree there was no need for the charge either the game was well won,just petulance on his part then to dive on him what was he thinking really
