I'd love to hear John Wilkins view of the Welsby incident. He's been condemning those kind of tackles all season but now the shoe is on the other foot I'm guessing he'll think common sense should prevail.
This is what all fans have been asking for all year.
The Welsby tackle wasn't an intentional high tackle but it was reckless and they have to put in place the same punishments as they have all year. No doubt it will change for next year just like I'm sure they will have 2 weeks before semi's and final for concussion protocol.
I just don't understand how the people in charge don't see how there changes will affect the sport from the onset.
As a sport we are continually taking a reactive approach to the poor choices of those in charge.

Feel sorry for a lot of posters on here it seems if the only way you feel you can win the game is if the opposition have 3 or 4 players banned. Recent form should give you a lot more encouragement about your own ability to win the game.

On the contrary Mr Bond, I expect consistency from the MRP…

I think the belief among the Leeds fans is that the team can beat Saints.
The reason this subject is being heavily debated amongst Leeds fans is because we have been crucified by the MRP all season and the punishments haven't been applied across the board.
I would rather see Welsby play because I didn't see any intent but I saw Fusitua banned for the same offence, Sezer banned for a similar offence and Martin banned for something that wasn't anywhere near as bad.
I don't want to see a young kid denied the chance to play in a final but those tackles have been punished all season and let's not forget he left him with facial injuries. There's not really any argument that he shouldn't be banned.
Regardless of this in my opinion anybody who suffers a ban then I think their crimes should have been worthy of a sending off at the time. Players are getting yellow cards or just penalised on televised games and then getting banned. If it's serious enough for a ban it should be serious enough to see red in a game. For serial offenders then yes a ban after a number of offences. If they don't see red in a game how can you issue a ban afterward for 99% of incidents?
