Just watched the highlights and I cant for the life of me see how the Hunslet No6 stays on the field following the shoulder charge on Boothroyd, its at best a yellow and in todays refereeing climate could easily be a red

Their no.6 was Jordan Gale...Luke's cousin
Suspect he has a ban coming up ??

They're either not fit or aren't training hard enough if they can't get in a 21 man squad when only there's only 19 players available!

Jeez you talk some rubbish. We are not down to 19 players, get a grip.

No charges brought by the RFL for the hit on Toby Boothroyd !

Well it's 100% a foul challenge, but is it something that would ordinarily attract a ban?

The offense committed is more gamesmanship than violence.

I don't think it would, so no further action.

The severity of the injury has no bearing on the decision on a charge/no charge.

It's a shoulder charge, with force, blind side, causing flexation of the neck, it most definitely warrants a charge.
Having said that and reading the disciplinary notes for last weekend, Will Dagger head buts and makes full frontal contact with an opponent and only gets 2 matches, seeing the incident, its far worse than Sinfields 6 matcher from a few years ago.
