From the RLFans dictionary (really):
Joynt's Voluntary Tackle: Long-standing thread on the Bradford board stemming from the accusations that Saints captain Chris Joynt executed a voluntary tackle in the closing stages of the 2002 Grand Final, an offence referee Russell Smith did not notice or did not consider worth a penalty which, converted, would have handed Bradford victory rather than the usual defeat. The thread soon strayed away from its original topic and was considered a protected species until being unexpectedly locked after over two years of existence. Rescued and transferred out of its redamberandblack.com ghetto, it found a wider audience in the Virtual Terrace but has since disappeared for good.
Anybody got a link to it? Was it really as big as they say?
