I think that was the right decision by Ganson but I'm not convinced Elima was malicious in his tackle; I'm inclined to believe he just got it all wrong. I don't think he should be banned.

Elima's never been noted for being a dirty player, but it looked awful. I expect a couple of games for that at least. Only his previous good record will save him from worse.
I can't and won't defend it. He led with the forearm/elbow to the head and that's a ban for mine.

I have to agree with Ollis comments, I felt his shoulder was tight to his body, it was unfortunate that the lads head was down so low, Elima was commited and couldnt pull out of the tackle. I certainly didnt think a red was warranted. It was very similar to a challenge in the Wire Wigan game in which Morely cleaned up Hansen.
