Castleford Tigers' Daryl Powell blasts Julian Bousquet for "dangerous" tackle

Castleford Tigers head coach Daryl Powell hits out at Catalans Dragons' Julian Bousquet for his "dangerous" tackle on Jordan Tansey.

Castleford Tigers head coach Daryl Powell has called for "dangerous" tackling to be stamped out of the game following an incident in Sunday's clash against the Catalans Dragons.

Julian Bousquet has been issued with a four-match ban following a 'cannonball' tackle on Tigers full-back Jordan Tansey during last weekend's 32-6 victory for the Tigers.

"It was a pretty horrendous tackle," Sky Sports News quotes Powell as saying. "He's fired himself into Tansey's legs. There is just no place for that in the game. He's a big man to be firing in tackles like that.

"It was unbelievably dangerous, it needs to be taken out of the game. Jordan is not too bad thankfully but something like that can finish your career, going in that hard on the side of your legs. He's been pretty lucky."

Bousquet's ban came a week after teammate Olivier Elima was issued with a four-match suspension.
