They have done.

In today’s game I think it’s a red card. He doesn’t play the ball, moves in very fast and with his studs up. It’s a dangerous challenge.

Playing devil's advocate, what else was the boy supposed to do, stand aside and let him run through?
He was at speed, only way he could get to the challenge, he got and played the ball ball before him!
Played the ball with his studs, never touched him, Boyle collided with his back!
I think its what Marv was alluding to, with the fast nature of today's game, these challenges are more and more likely!
I know that if it was 1 of our players, it would have been a great tackle, and we would be outraged at the sending off!!!

It wasn’t the only way he could challenge, and these type of challenges absolutely aren’t more likely in today’s game.

Are you saying he never touched Boyle at all? What else was he supposed to do, stay on his feet for one, and if not stay on his feet then make a block tackle rather than a full blooded studs first tackle that was always going to make contact with the player.
Boyle even pulls back on his run as he sees the recklessness of the challenge, if he doesn’t take that evasive action he’s in the hospital with a career ender.
