As a London fan, I can honestly say it was "borderline" Late, but no attempt to wrap the arms means it was a shoulder charge and 10 minutes was the right call. I doubt he'll get any attention from the disciplinary, other than maybe a letter to warn him to work on his technique.
Catalans (by all accounts) simply monstered London up the middle........worrying times in the Capital

Gregory Bird looked like he had a great game. He showed what an Australian representative player can do in Super League.

Oh, I hope teams now agree with you Giants RL. That would be good for London.

The head shot on Abdull was right in front of me. It wasn't especially late, but that doesn't matter in the slightest because it was a deliberate shot to the head, on a player unable to protect himself.

To make matters worse the ref, who was so out of his depth it was untrue (Tomkins and Bird did most of the reffing all night) wasn't even going to stop play never mind give a penalty. It was only Pelissier jumping in that forced him to blow his whistle and settle it down. Seeing Abdull spark out he decided he had no choice but to do something but even then only went for a yellow. And he balanced that out by sending Elon to join him. Joke.

This is a hell of a tough sport as it is, we need to protect players from outright thuggery.
