World Club Challenge - Anthony Watmough Big Hit on Rob Burrow
He smothered Burrow, nothing more, nothing less.
Why did we get a penalty then?

I see. Thanks for clarifying. I thought it was because contact to the head was illegal in RL. Silly me.

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

OK, I have just read the frst 2 pages and cba reading the next 3. My view was the Burrow was just unlucky. Watmough caught him high but not purposely. He didnt jump, he didnt swing and he main contact was with the shoulder. Burrow was also leaning back which probably made him 5'2. What is Watmough supposed to do in that situation? Not make the tackle and let Burrow make a break. That tackle would have flattened any player. It's just a shame that Burrow was there.
And just to add... there seemed to be an abundance of feckwits in the ground on Sunday. Some guy behind me (with 2 young kids) was F'ing and blinding at every decision regardless wether it was right or wrong. His wife was almost as bad. What are those kids going to grow up like

I don't know, did they look undernourished or neglected?
