This. The TV showed slow motion replays of the incident and if the big screen had been available then I'm sure that dangerous leg entanglement tackle would have at least put on report. He deliberately attacked the standing leg and if he'd hit the standing leg around the knee with his shoulder whilst Arundel unable to defend himself as being tackled in a stationary position by another player the ref would have taken action. As it is no action taken and a player loses a year of what is already a relatively short playing career. Hope he makes a full recovery.

There was a screen available to the ref. It was in the 1st floor restaurant and from where we were stood we could see them reviewing incidents through the window.

Gutted for both players. I really rate Arundel, he has never let anyone down while playing and feel his defensive and physical presence is great in the team whilst also scoring a few tries along the way. Feel like Rocky was controlling the game well and his short kicking game was looking good against Cas up until his injury. For him to finish off the game with a fractured mandible just shows that some people are cut from a different cloth, proper nails is that.

Very similar to the tackle methods Wigan employed at BV last season, and we all saw the outcome of that.

Have you had chance to look at the tackle again yet?

My sympathies go out to both Arundel & Hampshire who were unfortunate to be on the wrong side of lady luck. Get well soon lads.

So it looks like he did some damage in the first tackle he stayed down from and then finished it off in the later one.
I'm struggling to see anything really obviously dangerous or see a likely cause in either tbh.
The TJ one is plain to see but Joe's didn't look out of place in any game, but I guess when you've got a load of big blokes hanging on you in a tackle while you're trying to make progress it puts an extraordinary pressure on joints.
I don't see any obvious conduct or technique intended to cause injury to Joe's knee.

Sickner for Joe for sure, speedy recovery Joe, not great for the team either but we're in a hellish run of season ending injuries to excellent players, it is what it is.
