Don't think anyone would argue it wasn't a shocking challenge to be fair, nor the fact it should have been red.

I'd be surprised though if Bennett had gone out to injure the player. In my opinion he has panicked and clearly got it wrong. It was wreckless and there would be no argument if there was an extension.

Personally I just find the ott witch hunt in the media and social media ridiculous. The presenter on ssn last night looked like he was announcing the lads passing.

If it was the other way around there would have been comments on here, no one outside of the club would have given it any notice and that would be fine.
