Crazy and very annoying!
Missing for Barrow then.
Hopefully Levy is back fit by then.
I’m guessing it was the crusher tackle in the 2nd half was very minor IMO but Baker got the player in a hold and ended up coming down on his head neck. Dewsbury player got up holding his neck.
but nothing for the Ince tackle is crazy. It was a direct hit to the head resulted in us losing a player as he failed the HIA for that game but also next weeks game maybe more. It was not even one where he hits low and bounced up it was a forceful and deliberate swing, yes probably unintended on misjudged but the tackler was responsible for it and should be pulled up for it. SL the player would be carded yellow for sure but more likely red, but as it championship they can’t be arsed to do anything. ref should have given a card on the night, he didn’t but I don’t think he even put it on report.
The judgement stated: "Player is coming into make a tackle. Opponent drops immediately in front of him. Player does not swing the arm and player’s arm brushes over opponents head who falls"
I was too far away from the incident to see it, haven't seen a replay. I'm not a massive advocate for "the player got injured so the culprit should be banned" as causing injury isn't a deliberate act.
It matters little to us really. The best news is that Dupree avoided a suspension having been cited twice, while Grady also got nothing after being put on report.
Not watched the replay yet but on the night Baker took a shoulder charge from a tackler - no penalty!
Do the suspensions only hit after this weekend then?
That’s disappointing but not surprising, I think we will miss kenny more than people realise

Yes, so he'll miss Barrow at home.
