I thought that when I saw it. Not even put on report by the ref. I'd love to know how many matches are missed by players banned for fouls that don't get sent off for, surely sending off is a much better deterrent and much fairer to the team fouled against than a ban when they can just rotate another player in to replace him.

It was a high shot for which he was penalised. I have seen worse not even referred to the disciplinary. It was never a sending off.

Peacock was also involved in the tackle leaving Burgess little to get hold of. Clumsy rather than malicious.

If Burgess cops a ban then the disciplinary panel then I'd be very suprised, unless they decide to make an example of one of Leeds young players.

Senior's late knee's into Ade's face is a 5 matcher if I ever seen one.

Can't belive this has gone unmentioned. Ade even turned round & looked at the freak..
Surely he's due for retiring soon

Pryce got a way with a blatant pull back on Gibson however.

...And Leeds should have been down to 12 when there was a professional fool (holding down after a break) on Meli.

..And as the Leed fan in front of me quite rightly pointed out, Saints failed to play the ball with the foot on a number of occasions.

...But on the other hand Leeds were guilty of feeding at the scrum too

From yesterday's game :
Keith Senior, 12th minute chicken wing tackle. Warning letter, no charge.
Luke Burgess, high tackle on Roby, 1-4 match ban.
Lee Gilmour, 33rd minute high tackle. Penalty sufficient, no charge.

This has to be taken out of the game but until players get punished it will stay in the game theres no place for it.

Nah, Ade is still young and got plenty RL in him. As for Senior, must say he is still turning in the performances even at almost 50 and 5 wives down the line.

They must have run out of warning letters.Shame really as it was more clumsy than malicious.There have been quite a few "tackles" more deserving of a ban than the Burgess one.
