I would hazard a guess at ACL rupture. Police intervention for me on that. At no point could that every be described as being part of sport. Elima did a similar thing to Aaron Hereimia in the first game of the 2014 season. Fortunately Hereimia was not seriously injured

And therein lies evidence no-one should ever pay any attention whatsoever to anything you ever post. Your observations on the game from this point forward (for those who didn't know it already) have just been rendered null and void and moronic.

"Can't see it"?

Well obviously I can see he's being naughty and applying pressure to the leg that he has no right to. But what I can't tell from that is what he actually physically does at the end. Does he just rotate the foot? I'm watching on an old work PC with a 13 inch screen, it's hardly easy to see.

Deliberate attempt to put pressure on the joint after the tackle was completed. Clearly intending to seriously injure the tackled player - and looks like he did.

Take the rest of the season out to think about what a t0sser you are, son, and if you're lucky, we might let you play again next year.

Worse than Flower in my opinion (premeditated attempt to seriously injure an opponent rather than reaction) and deserves a longer ban. Anyone know if this has been to disciplinary yet and if so how many matches did he get?

Agreed. Whilst Flower's was (very) bad, it was a case of rage and lunacy, rather than a cynical attempt to severely injure.

A couple of weeks ago during the Bradford vs Doncaster game Matt Groat struck Lee Gaskell in the jaw with his elbow in an off the ball incident. Gaskell is now out for possibly 8 weeks, which is a big blow for Bradford's promotion push as he's one of the Bulls major attacking threats, however Groat is sitting out just 3 games and claims he never intended to hurt Gaskell. I think it situations like that, the players causing the injury should face a ban of the same length as the injured player is out for.
