Surprised he's been charged. Watching the game it looked like the initial contact was with the ball, but given the speed both he and the Stains player were moving his arm went up fast to make it look worse than it was.

Looking at the full list, Keith's also been sent a warning letter about a "chicken wing" tackle. We really, really need to nip this in the bud, totally no place for it in the game.

I noticed that in the 1st half (can't remeber the Saints player) but Cayless was done with a "suspect" tackle at Wakefield.

Unfortunately, it seems like wrestling on the floor to gain the upper hand at PTB has brought some unsavoury moves as well.

Look on the bright side,

Bailey isn't up before them this week

I was surprised that wasnt picked up by the officials in the game, as you said, it was fairly blatant.

If I've got the right incident it was another one where Senior was attempting to turn the player on his back rather than anything malicious.

Talking of naughty tackling from leeds players, what about the tackle on Leon Pryce in the second half where they pulled him back over his own trapped legs and almost snapped him in half?

Ablett escaped as he made an effort with the hand I guess.

I don't care what happens to Burgess. It was a pretty bad generic high shot from what I saw but he's not a dirty player so I don't mind him being let off lightly.

Poor Leon might be snapped in half if he gets sent down. Some Big Brute will have him biting the pillows on D Wing.

As for Burgess your right in the sense that he's not at all a dirty player. But he seems a little flat footed. If I remember right (and I probably dont) it was on Roby Burgess made the high tackle?A noticbly quick and fast footed player. Same with Roby's try. Although other were at fault Burgess was left flailing with one arm as his feet were planted in one position. I hope he doesn't get a ban, accidents happen. Plus I'd love to see him get a change against his (Not so) little brother.
