MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Melbourne Storm prop Jordan McLean faces a judicial hearing on Wednesday over the tackle that left an opponent with a broken neck, and a former international referee says the case is one of the toughest a panel has ever faced in Australian rugby league.
McLean, a 22-year-old in his second season in Australia's top National Rugby League competition, was cited for lifting Newcastle Knights forward Alex McKinnon in a tackle during a match in Melbourne last week.
