Disciplinary after the London match:
Quote:Case Number ON/325/12 Name Shane Rodney Club London Shirt Number 11 Match London v Bradford Competition Super League Date 06/05/12 Incident considered Dangerous Contact in 1st minute (Langley) Decision No charge Details of Charge / Reason for NF Player gets opponent in crusher position however makes room for opponent’s head and does not apply undue pressure MRP - NFA
that's 2 out of 3 "no charges" in the last couple of weeks for this one, based on nothing else than the same phrase "makes room for opponent's head".
So you CAN make "dangerous contact" yet not even be charged. Increasingly weird.

It's also OK if your opponent manages to escape the crusher. Seemingly, you can apply this illegal hold, and put the tackled player in a dangerous position, and not make room for his head, yet STILL not be charged, if after a period of time he manages to escape it.

What is the period of time? I think we should be told.

In fact, it seems to be open season when it comes to dangerous play on a Bull.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, the luck of the fall applioes:
