Nothing to do with wrestling and we’ve had several players penalised/banned for similar tackles well before anyone here had heard of Kristian Woolfe - Amor, Wilkin and Roby spring to mind. I thought at the time that it could be deemed a crusher tackle but hoped that the MRP would share Carney’s view that it was completely accidental and not deserving of any disciplinary action.
What I find annoying is the inconsistency between officials in that Smith gets a ban even though the referee did not even award a penalty and the video ref did not deem the incident worthy of suggesting a yellow card to the referee. On the other hand, Thompson’s shoulder into Lees was considered to be worthy of a red card having been reviewed and yet the MRP decide no ban is warranted.
