   Chris Hala’ufia should be banned for life; just another in a long line of disgraceful on field incidents. Kick this thug out of the game once and for all.

   Did you seen the tackle?
   I have watched it several times, and in my opinion it didn’t merit a penalty, let alone a red card!
   If the disciplinary committee don’t recommend no further action I will be very surprised and disappointed.
   I suspect it was his reputation that got him the card which is not fair!

     Didn’t see it that way and neither did the panel judging the this ban.

       I’m pleased to see that the ban has been rescinded on appeal.
       Right result I think.

   He was unlucky with that tackle. A few years ago it would been a super tackle, no intent to hurt the opposition player there. James your right, reputation was his main offence.
   There seems to be a trend with referees red carding players as soon as a leg goes in the air during a tackle. In real time it often looks like the player has been planted on their head, slowed down, it just looks silly!
