ROB Parker has avoided a suspension over his 'WWE' tackling technique.

Parker has been found guilty of dangerous tackling at an RFL hearing in Leeds tonight, Tuesday.

But the disciplinary panel decided not to hand out a suspension, meaning the prop will be available for Monday's home match against Castleford.

Parker had been set for ban of between two and five matches after being charged with a grade D offence, committed on three separate occasions during Friday's defeat at Wigan.

The RFL had previously warned Parker over a potentially dangerous tackling technique, which involves the former Bradford man wrapping both legs around his opponent's legs and scything them to the ground.

That warning came after Wolves' home match against St Helens, with Saints coach Daniel Anderson later saying that the technique was more at home in WWE wrestling.

But mitigating circumstances seem to have allowed Parker to escape a suspension after the repeat offences at the JJB Stadium.

Further details will be available in this week's Warrington Guardian, including what Paul Cullen said about the technique at the club's weekly Press conference today, Tuesday.

He'd probably drop the bottle, or be that slow passing it out the opposition players would have taken the bottle from him drunk the contents and gave him the bottle back, before he passes it to a wolves player

Agree let little Gleese start and finish games. A great player gives his all and thats all we want any of the team to do. All payed a salery so they all need to earn it. LOads of rumours since last weekend are any true i wonder. New coaches sackings dont think so we will sit in 6th position for the rest of the year. If Cullen goes he needs to take some players with him and leave at the wire players who want to play a game of rugby. Family game family stadium having a laugh here if all the antics are true that are reported on here
