And for the record the cheap shot square into Morleys jaw was just as bad.


That was my take on it Mark, although at the time, I thought your looking at a few games for it. Whilst I think it was an accident, you can't condone that sort of tackle, and the RFL will come down hard I think. If Mathers gets a couple for a trip etc.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Ben get 4/5 games, and he can have few complaints really, it was poor technique, but as fans, we can have few complaints too as we praise him for playing on the edge, meeting the tackler, being aggresive and such, in a fast paced sport, now & again you'll get it wrong, here we have an instance of it.

Westwood is my favourite player but there is no defending that tackle, I don't know what he was thinking. Expect him to get a ban which IMO will be a blow for us because as has been said on here many times he always gives 100%.

why

he jumped up and swung at his head. It wasnt mis-timed it was on purpose. After this he did rant at the guy on the ground. I really dont know how you can defend him TBH.

Swings and roundabouts............


IIRC Vinnie Andersons was a legitimate great hit that winded Tickle. Westwood jumped up, swung at his head, knocked him out then ranted at him. Totally different.

i['ve seen it back last night, it was a bad one, whilst at the game i cringed that he'd jumped up but i thought the arm had swung up off the ball as there was two contact noises "thump thump" (that's how quiet it was last night, terrible).

On a slightly different tangent, plenty of grapple tackles from the dragons last night, fakir proper bent gleeson's neck down from behind at one point in the first half, you'd think for an nrl ref he'd be spotting this.

thought it was a disgusting tackle, and to say it was accidental is very narrow minded cos he gave him an earful on the floor, and didn't once go to see if the guy was ok.
He's a thug, plain and simple

Calm down, he is very silly at times but us hardly a thug. I bet Stanley Gene has been guilty of more injuries on opposing players? Although Gene has played for about 20 years more.

If my sources are correct Benny is going to be punished severely for incident last night. They are making him sign a contract extension. :wink:

Benny should have gone over to apologise and make sure the guy was ok.

Im not defending Benny here but the act looked like it was bourne out of frustration.

Benny always gives 100% and never deserves to lose (apart from last night) and maybe the fact that his team mates havent got the same will or desire to win as him ultimately caused him to self destruct.

Or maybe something else had gone on earlier in the game for which benny was seeking revenge although i didn't see anything.
