As I said in the other thread, it was clear to me the tackle was made and gilly's elbow came into contact with Grix chin after the initial contact, it was pretty clear it was an accident.

When I watched the game on TV, the impact from Pryce's tackle came from the (Grix's) left, but when they showed him sat on the bench later, the wound seemed to be on the right.

fair call .... looked worse than what it was but that's the nature of rugby league

although it cuts me to say but well done (again !!) ..... cracking game of rugby

i thought gilly would get a ban.

ive noticed that they have outlawed that sort of thing in the NRL recently and been very strict about it.

Despite the hyperbole on the Warrington site, the hit on Grix was never going to be a ban, a clear case of the arm bouncing up off the ball.

I could have lived with a penalty (it did finish high, after all) but there was zero intent.

Correct decision.

And that considering the number of times it was referred to by the Sky Team.

Mentioning it once or twice would have been enough - but time after time - just not necessary.

Never understood the fuss...just a tackle...happens hundred of times in every match... were not a dirty team, we have the bathrooms to prove it.
