Having seen a photo still of the impact though – it looks significantly worse, almost to the extent it looked like a different challenge!
He went in over the top of the ball studs raised and made full on contact with the players shin.
On that evidence it was dangerous play and a straight red – so the ref got it right.
Quite right – plus he went in with his full weight, it could have ended up much worse for the Barrow player.
Grant has really let the side down there – he’s the senior pro, probably the most experienced player in the team, he knows he cannot tackle like that and he knows how important he is to the team. Hill should be furious with him.
