In farness, he lined him to properly batter him and was unfortunate to follow through with his shoulder to the head. In contact sports, a lot of big hits are meant to hurt, stops you coming back for more. Jewitt on the other hand did deliberately try to damage players and got away scot free, even after close up shots of him forearming Griifin in the face several times. Ludicrous.

Yeah agree he wanted to hurt him. Every player is trying to hurt the ball carrier in every tackle, but there's a difference between hurt and injure. If anybody thinks Faraimo purposely set out to hit Atkin in the head and injure him they're just been ridiculous.
watched it a few times now, yellow at worst. If he doesn't gete S.O.S then it's a con. If he was in Yellow and Blue there would only have been a penalty.

The worst bit is if it wasn't on sky their wouldn't have even been a penalty.
Thing is, they don't apply the rules consistently. I could take it if, when we see a similar tackle taking place, we see the same decision being made. We all know though that we'll see a carbon copy tackle next week involving a different team and they'll just award a penalty.
Thought the Dobbins got away with plenty yesterday, but listening to Phil Clarke, Hull got all the decisions. Never heard from him for the last 15 minutes though . Must have been sat in a corner sulking.
Yeh John Wells put Clark right at the end when he was so P*ssed off with him downing us all the time that he said something like , "Right Phil lets give credit where credit is due"

Yeah, I normally quite like Wells and get a little wound up by Clarke.
But yesterday, I wanted to sup on Wells’ tears so badly. From a Rovers POV, his cheerleading for you was close to nauseating. His excitement at Talanoa lifting his fingers off the touchline before grounding the ball (once you’ve touched the line, the play is dead Jon - and this lot still can’t be bothered to spell your name correctly, despite your desperate attempts ingratiate yourself. So there.)
