I didn’t see all of the Saints match. What was the strike by Lees all about?
The Sironen one is ridiculous.he has less that 0.5 of a second to pull out of a tackle he's commited to. There needs to be some common sense involved,if a player can't possibly pull out then just admit it and leave it. It's when they take 3 or 4 steps and then hit that it should be an issue.

hit a salford player after a knock on, in the head, salford player fell REALLY awkwardly and his foot twisted quite badly underneath him and had to go off injured, essentially high tackle on a player off the ball.

I'm certainly no fan of Sironen, but I agree with you here. Obvious late hits are bad news and need to be stamped out, but this one wasn't like that, it was split-second stuff.
