Gee, I'm really struggling with tone today.
Yeti, I agree the change to the MRO is a mistake, I've said so on a few occasions before. What I'm saying is in this instance it is about as clear-cut as it gets. It was a dangerous tackle, and the bloke he tackled got knocked out cold. I don't think the intent was to hurt Gray, and the first part of the tackle was great - so great he got the outcome of dispossessing Gray and receiving a free kick came to fruition. The problem was that when the 'driving' part of the tackle started the ball was out of Gray's hands and they were out of bounds. That part of the tackle was careless, and led to Gray suffering a hit to the head so severe it knocked him out for the better part of a minute.
Perhaps Gray could have braced for impact a little more, but it's a bit like saying the bloke on the receiving end of an elbow could have ducked. Generally human beings try to avoid being knocked out cold, so I think the fact Gray didn't get his hands down suggests more about his vulnerability than any failure on his part. I'm glad this is no more serious than a tribunal hearing over a tackle, because victim blaming is a pretty bad look these days.
If you put aside the great list of imagined injustices past - which I assume RM has in a scrapbook of some kind - and just look at the tackle, the impact and the suspension, I can't see how this event is RM scrapbook worthy.
