Shorrocks was cited with a Grade 3 offence, but only given a one match suspension. if the offence was so reckless and affected the head of Lewis, he should have left the field for a HIA but he did not and in addtion, none of his team mates took offence to the tackle. Surely if any offending player is given a Red Card for an offence which may have involved the head of an opposing player taking the tackle, the player should have to leave the field for a mandatory HIA.

What took place was a example of the panic that has happened in both codes as a result of ex players jumping on the compensation culture and seeking legal action on what they claim have been head injuries which have affected their health.

A example of the panic in our code has been the RFL expermenting in some Academy games of no tacking above the waist with a view of intoducing it at all games.

It it happens, it will kill the body contact game of Rugby League as we have always knowed it!

p.s. In football, they are even considering ending the heading of the ball
