Clubb charged with grade C offence - could miss 4 weeks : Mon Jul 27, 2009 2:33 pm  

Harlequins centre Tony Clubb has been charged with making a 'head-slam tackle' on St Helens half-back Kyle Eastmond during Saturday's Super League clash at The Stoop. Could be getting Dave Howell back at the perfect time. Incident was on the other side of the pitch, so didn't get the best view to comment. Source: Sporting Life

Rubbish imo.
Cant remember who it was, but a st's player did the same thing in the second half, and we didn't even get a penalty.
Complete rubbish.

Source: Sporting Life it was literally slap bang in front of me. One of those things that was more "reckless" than intentional. Looking to put the player down hard, but had his grip in the wrong place and essentially dropped Arnold while having him in a sleeper hold. Should be nothing more than a telling off and warning regarding future conduct.

Knowing how they usually deal with Quins players, Clubb will probably be shot

Don't you mean Peacock rules? He got off with a terrible (and illegal) tackle on a Catalans player just before the international with France (since he was England captain). The player was stretchered off. Anyone else would have had to serve a ban for that. There was no injury at all to Stosic and he was due to play for Wakey at the weekend, which I assume he did since I haven't heard any hysteria from that direction lately.

I think you will find that Stosic had a fractured eye socket.
