trouble is it's often the same team making these 'slightly mistimed' tackles

Put a sock in it Gilder , call the tackle what you want but it was a shocker that could have caused serious injury , yes not as bad as Chase but worthy of at least 2 matches and please watch Abletts again as nothing wrong whatsoever

Where did I say it wasn't worthy of a ban? I said it wasn't as bad as some people on here were making out, mostly because it wasn't. I said the MRP have got it right with a Grade B charge.

If anyone needs to put a sock in it, you might want to look in the mirror.

There is plenty of argument that it was not malicious or "coached" to injure, I tend to believe that, and that the tackle was just clumsy and just needs discouraging.

This is how i feel about it. Third man in, targeting the lower leg area with excessive force at a stationery player who is clamped up top is asking for serious injury no matter the intention.

Charnley pleaded guilty, Tautai pleaded not guilty. Both get 2 match bans.

Yep. They aren't mistimed. The only mistake Tautai made was in making it so visible/obvious.

Tell me about it, still have pain when I sit too long with my leg bent 25 years later. It's the crashing downwards into the knee joint or below which can mess up a knee or break the lower leg bones. I have doubts that it's coached like that, although I can't really say that for sure can I?

Blimey! First Wigan get the toughest semi final draw, now players get bans which don't expire before the match.

Who have they upset at RL HQ?

Yeah after Flower appeal his ban and got it overturned and O'Loughlin got off lightly they probably though they couldn't get away with it 3 times. Plus Tautai missing the semi final actually improves Wigan's chances.
