So what do you think about Sherwin and his miracle recovery as soon as play was stopped after Morley's "decapitation" attempt.

From flat-out motionless to back on his feet in two seconds without treatement. How many matches does Sherwin deserve for this?

The same as what Briers gets every time he does it when someone dares the breathe near him?

I really can't see how anyone can condone Morley's thuggery,it should have been a straight red,dirty and cowardly effort,and that's from a Wakey fan!!

The video evidence proves that it wan't high though. Looked bad at first but in truth it was certainly not high.

Apart from video evidence proves he smacked Sherwin in the back of the head and quite clearly too. I hope Fielden or someone does the same to Briers tomorrow just to see what you think then.

Must have been a different video to the one I saw,I was sure he cuffed him on the head and from the side!

The video evidence clearly shows the initial contact on Sherwins upper torso the bouncing up to head height. This isn't a high tackle and is something that happens in lots of tackles at all levels of rugby.

If Fielden does exactly the same thing to Briers tomorrow my response will be the same. I'm certainly not a biased fan and don't let emotions get in the way of clear thinking.

If it isn't a high tackle by the rules of the game then why are players penalised for doing the same thing in a lot of the high tackles you see now then?

To be fair at the speed the game is played it's not easy to tell. The benefit of a slowed down video is a wonderful thing. When I first saw the Morley incident I thought it was bad until slowed down.

Likewise with regard to the Carvell incident I thought initially there was nothing in it, until I saw a slower version.

I'd just like to congratulate the RFL on letting Adrian Morley throw away his team's match against Wigan tonight, much worse punishment than if he'd been allowed to put his feet up...
