That tackle by Cayless did not deserve 11 weeks. I know that he had two charges against him, but the tackle on Hannay wasnt even that bad. It was just as much bad luck that Hannay got injured than anything. It wasnt that high compared to some high tackles (Morley) and it wasnt going at any great pace. If Hannay was fine he would have been looking at 2 weeks
That tackle didn't get Cayless 11 weeks. With the early guilty plea it was worth just over 5 and a half weeks (562 points). Please note, that this was affected by Cayless having been suspended for a similar offence in the last 2 years (increased the penalty by 50%). Guilty without a plea would of been 7 and a half weeks (750 point.)
Without that prior suspension (+50%) the penalty for the tackle (with early guilty plea) would of been 375 points (3 weeks and 75 points left over).
