That's how I saw it but I've only seen it once.
I'm all for the RFL trying to make sure these techniques don't migrate over here from Oz. However, for me the worst offense of the game was Gilmour's "Grapple tackle with added Eye Gouge"* so why is it going unpunished!
*Despite watching this one several times on the Biff video that someone put on a well known video sharing website I can't decide if the eye gouging hand is Gilmours or another saints player (Wilkin?) - either way its a clear deliberate grapple and somebody also claws at Smiths eyes (possibly not intentional but suspicious in the replays)
