They haven't charged him with doing it deliberately.

I know Welham is slow,but surely it didn't take him 6 mins to cover 15 metres?

Thats because he didn't!

Just seen the incident now on B n A - absolute shocker!!

And you know how?

there is only one person that knows that unequivocally, and unless Walkers online name is Cala Millor Rhino, its not you.

He has received a two match ban.

The RFL seems to have a policy of leniency but the only time I can remember them getting a sentence right for a deliberate tackle was when Terry Newton took out Sean Long and Lee Gilmour in a shocking display at the (as was then) JJB Stadium.

IMO if there was intent on Colbon then Walker shouldn't be allowed to step back onto a pitch until Colbon does but I guess the RFL couldn't prove that so let him off with a minimum ban. Its hardly enough of a deterrent to make him re-think his playing style.

Fully agree 2 weeks is pathetic.

I must admit at the time there didn't look much intent in the Walker challenge but not seen it again in slow motion. If there was deemed to be intent then he should have got longer, it was a serious injury but could have been much worse.

The last time I remember the RFL gettign a ban about right was Westwoods either last year or the year before when he took someones head of then taunted them on the ground, IIRC he got 6 matches for that..

Didnt go into Colbon deliberately even tried to jump around him which you can see from the camera angle behind the play. he jumps at the same time as Colby pats the ball back and raises his knees which shows he was trying to avoid Colbon. Difficult to see if it was his leading arm or trailing arm but think it was the leading one that made slight contact to the tip of Colbons jaw.

If it was intentional I agree a couple of months out the game for him and a hefty fine however Ferriols hit on Vella knocking him for 6 deserved at least 6 games but never even got picked up on!!!

I would like to see any deliberate illegal challenge being dealt with seriously and the injured players wages being taken off the cap for the time he is on the side line. This way the club its affected will benefit too unlike at the moment when its everyone else except the team its been done to.
