Correct, also you could clearly see Sam had relaxed so was at greater risk of getting injured.

The worst tackle I have ever seen.

Don't get me started about it.

Assault pmsl, it was a late tackle, if you cant stand the heat get out the kitchen..but then again a wigan player has never ever ever committed a late tackle now have they, jesus if it was assault, id recommend going to the police to sort out an illegal attack. it isnt like you havent got video evidence.......talk about over reaction....and your dragging things up from 39 years ago my god move on guys its history, id hate to imagine how pent up you get about the extermination of the jews.

I just love the fact that he got up, shrugged his shoulders and then wiped the floor with you!!

I think you'll find that he's no intention of getting out of the kitchen. But don't expect fans not to talk about something like that, especially when the RFL apprently takes the side of the miscreant.

and the rest is history, i'll be reading it in the fish and chip paper this week, it seems its you lot that cant get over the fact it was a late tackle which it was,,,,, so what! let the powers that be sort it, oh they have it was such an assault hes been given a caution, the kid took the blow played it to the max, as a professional player should and got on with the game, the get out the kitchen remark is to the pathetic fans who make a mountain out of a mole hill.

It was.

I thought he was just signalling '2' It didn't look to me as though he was giving the V sign.

Sam is obviously a target because without him Wigan wouldn't be as good. The shoulder charge to his head was extremely late and deserved a one match ban. I have never condoned dirty players from Wigan and was pleased when Newton left.

Around the same time as Sam got the cheap shot, there was to me a bit more of a hint of gouging in the tackle by a Cas player.

I didn't record the game. Did anyone else notice this ? To me that was worse than the hit on ST.
