Reckless head and shoulder dive around the knee area it doen't become a tackle until he wraps the arm around the leg. Matty Peet had to take Dupree off to check him out, don't think he was risked to go back on.... thanks to "nice fella" Asiati. My Wigoon mates not happy at all, because they are not sure if he has a knee injury.

Blimey! Nowt wrong with it. Is there floods in St Helens with all the crying you've been doing? Jeez!

Yet you've been on the Wigoon Forum pages trying to get support for the James Bell tackle and failed miserably. Asiati was seen in Wigan town cente card shop bulk buying get well cards, Passi is asking is his card in the post or will he be paying a hospital visit.

I'm not looking for support, I'm just illustrating the actual tackle using pics and videos. Bells was no different to Asiata's. That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it. If we are not careful, the game will go in the wrong direction. Stop crying, and enjoy the Leopards at WEMBERLEIGH!!

There is nothing wrong with the tackle in that he isn't attacking the bend of the knee, planted legs, heads, joints etc.

At worst it is a reckless technique as he appears to have no concern for his own wellbeing. Reminds me of how Vila Matuatia used to tackle.

Richard Silverwood has practically echoed what I've been saying all along. HERE

It's not on the hip

Well I'm in the Majority here. Dupree running on the angle and bounces off a committed challenge and goes spiraling at 45 degrees. Isn't that the laws of Physics ?

Why didn't Dupree carry the ball in his opposite hand and 'dip' his Shoulder and maximise the impact back onto the defender ? He is quite entitled to do that and the full force of Asiatas challenge would have been felt by Asiata himself !

Its all quite poor and tedious to be frank. Head high tackles yes. Players who are stationary with players 'laying in ' yes, but this aspect of play, No, No and No !!! Two big 18 stone blokes for which the attacker has received a bit of a dead leg. So what ? Get on with it and stop the Witch Hunt. It really is boring !
