[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 825430, member: 73144"] In the Sale game Aulika got binned for aiming a haymaker at Hamilton. It caught his shoulder, but had serious intent and if he'd struck the face I'm assuming it would have been a straight red so that was all about the outcome. Later on Rhodes suffered the same penalty for a "high tackle" which I think was a result of the recent directive on contact above the shoulder and little to do with either intent or outcome. Very confusing. And that's before you start considering taking the man out in the air etc. Its no wonder refs are increasingly turning to the TMO. [/QUOTE]
