Should have been longer - at least 52.

He's free to play again Nov 2 it's ridiculous that this ban includes the summer holidays!

[sapajo]

He will be back in action in November and that is supposed to be a punishment?
Bizzare and its taking the michael

[Loob19]

That'sa result ... for Calum Clarke!

This is why a ban should cover the number of games not a specific period of time.

[kingol22]

Disgraceful, in reality this is a 12 week ban.
12 weeks for inflicting an injury that could destroy a players career, the RFU should have made an example of him.

I hope Tigers now sue for career damages on Hawkins behalf.

[nasher]

Got off!He should now be prosecuted and sued for damages.

I hope Tigers now sue for career damages on Hawkins behalf.

Would be a very interesting legal case.

Very bad for the game and for the RFU. And for HHJ J Blackett.

Damages likely to be assessed at between £100K and £1M+

IMHO Hawkins (and Tigers) should go for it.

precedent in the Rougerie vs Wasps case - 3 operations and 3 months out got him £60,000 I believe

One assumes Lancaster will now publicly remove Clark from the Elite Squad?

Permanently?

[CJ]

it's a disgrace. as others have said, any ban should be for the number of games. He now gets a nice summer holiday, back pretty early on next season and that is meant to be a punishment? a farce.
