Appropriate ban for that sort of head shot. IMO the RFL have to come up to speed on targeting the head and neck area, too much goes undetected and the cheap shots when tackled and on the ground is also unacceptable.

Justice would see a ban for the player and some education for the official.

We're half way there.

Would love to read that the official is required to spend some time being re-educated on what does warrant a red card.

Full-time ref Liam Moore is in charge at Oldham on Sunday. James Child is in charge of the Newcaste v Workington game.
