I'm sure the owners of the Titans will let it slide once again
Judiciary will charge RCG for backing in to him

Some of these forwards should gang up on James and give him a dose of his own medicine

I'd much rather see the Titans rubbed out of the finals.

My missus watches the highlights of WT's game with me - she is completely alien to the game but loves it genuineness, skill and force. But she hates the dirty dangerous stuff like against Teddy and the lack of penalty. Now she learns about the same guy doing someone's spine in it makes her blood boil and turns her off the game. This aspect is just as important as any other aspect.
Just saw it on the footy show

jeez, this forum loves getting up in arms about it.
i get we're all biased, but a touch of rationality wouldnt go amiss.
tedesco fell into the tackle at HIGH SPEED. very hard to adjust and unfortunately his jaw was broken. a week or so suspension would have been fine for the high tackle
this week, it was such an innocuous tackle that happens maybe 5-10 times a game and no one says a word.

It looked pretty innocuous, to say the least. Not deserving of anything imo.
Campbell-Gillard in hospital with broken back

Panthers coach Anthony Griffin will demand the NRL match review committee look closely into an incident that has left Penrith front-rower Reagan Campbell-Gillard in hospital with a suspected cracked disc in his back.
Campbell-Gillard was left in agony when a third man into a tackle – believed to be Titans prop Ryan James according to Panthers officials – hit Campbell-Gillard in the back as he stood in a tackle.
As he clutched at his back and doubled over in pain, Campbell-Gillard was then forced to pack into a scrum as the shot clock wound down because of the rule that forbids substitutions being made as a scrum is being formed before he was replaced in the 61st minute.
Campbell-Gillard was taken by ambulance to nearby Robina Hospital shortly after full-time, leaving Griffin with a bitter after-taste following his side's 15-14 win on the Gold Coast that wrapped up a finals berth.
"I'm not one to whinge but I've got a player there with a broken disc in his back by the looks and he didn't get an opportunity to defend himself," Griffin told NRL.com. "It was sort of like a cannonball tackle or whatever you call it. "He obviously got a heavy tackle in the back there. I'd have to have a look at the tape but I hope the NRL have a close look at it. "He's in a bad way. It looks like he has a cracked disc in his back and he's gone out in an ambulance. He's taken a real heavy knock there. "Hopefully for his sake it's not as bad as what they think."
It is unclear whether Campbell-Gillard will be able to fly back to Sydney with the rest of the squad early Sunday afternoon and lock Trent Merrin said all the Panthers players were hoping for the best news possible. "I'm feeling for him. All the boys are a bit nervous and we're all praying for him and wishing that everything turns out for the best," Merrin said. "It's sad to see him like that but everyone's praying that it's not too bad and we'll speak to him when we find out what's wrong," Peachey said.
The 23-year-old City Origin representative was playing his 20th game of the season on Saturday night but is unlikely to be back on the park again in 2016.

There wasn't much in it TBH. The whole "prowler" tackle thing is a pretty cowardly action I reckon, some bloke will be permanently maimed by one sooner or later its just a matter of time.
The one that should have got 4 or 5 weeks was Jesse Bromwich for his gutless full-blooded attack on a defenceless Joey Leilua's back the week before, that one was a bad one.

The prowler isn't illegal. I remember a certain coach (guess who) back in 08 got upset by one that put his star recruit out for half the season in the round 1, and many just laughed at his comments. By the letter of the law this was a legal tackle, and watching it live….well......it didn't really look like there was a lot in it. If RCG wasn't hurt then nobody would say a thing.

I thought the prowler tackle if it is severe enough comes under "dangerous contact"? May be wrong. In any case it should be in the same class as grapple tackles, chicken wings, cannonball tackles (which seem to go unpunished these days), lifting past the horizontal, crusher tackles etc….all have the potential to do some serious damage. As usual the NRL just pull certain offenders up out of the blue and make examples of them with a lengthy suspension (Simona being a case in point for an innocuous tackle the likes of which are let go unpunished every single match). That is the sick joke in all of this.
The tackle on Alex McKinnon wasn' t a particularly nasty one on face value but it ended in tragedy- if the NRL are happy for questionable and unsportsmanlike tackles to continue to go unpunished they will have another tragedy on their hands you would think.
NRL needs to seriously grow some balls when it comes to setting precedents for dodgy tackles of all variations, not just pick and choose when it suits.
