Good to see that thug Verills get suspended. Totally deserved. 
Robinson clearly teaches his players to attack the head of the opposition. Hargreav3s 3ven manages to do it in both attack and defense. Not to mention the self labeled �inflictor�

If I take that evidence into a court of law where my client is the second offender, I can tell you now that the judge would throw that evidence out because they are not the same scenario.

Mitchell was running full force at Manu and he had time to do anything, mainly stop and not go through with it, but he did what he did.

Verrills was bracing himself, and dropping to make a tackle around the chest, and the Titans player is leaning into the tackler.

The question I ask is could Verrills have done anything other than what he was doing? 

He was standing, waiting to make a legal tackle, but the Titan not only ran at him, but he was leaning into the tackle and he got there quicker than Verrills could change his height. 

But each to their own.
