Lawton's ban

Does anyone know what Lawton actually did to get his ban?

I listened to the game on the radio, and just can't remember anything siad on this subject by the commentators.

Adam generally isn't a "naughty" player.

I watched a clip of the incident and it did not look too bad to me. He just tried to tackle and must have just landed awkward the other player. Adam is a nice lad and would not do anything intentionally bad on purpose.

A 3 match ban for an "awkward landing" does seem excessive, particularly as the referee must not have taken any action at the time.

Can you put a copy of the clip on here?

I think this will work, Lawton uses his leg to drag the player down and injures him.

It’s a kind of hip drop tackle

Its a hip drop tackle, puts a lot of pressure on the ball carriers knee joint with high risk of injury. May not have been on purpose but a 3 game ban is fair having seen it.

Thanks for the clip.

I take the point that some penalty is probably justified - but 3 games still seems excessive to me.

It looks as though he’s fell funny and hurt the other players knee but 3 game ban does seem a lot

Don’t we have the weird disciplinary points system in the Champs like they do in SL?
