Anyway, I don't think the was much in his late shoulder charge last night. I accept it was late and used the shoulder but he didn't exactly give it to laithwaite. It was more of a little nudge with the shoulder.



I know it was enough to have him carried off but ion he was loose after he passed it as he wasn't expecting it which caused "whiplash" style impact. It's natural to relax after passing the ball and that's when MM hit him. />


The challenge is nothing worse than other off the ball hits that's been creeping into the game lately. Sia at saints has done it 3/4 times the last few weeks. />


Slap on the wrists for mm IMO'"





it wasnt a shoulder charge...even cummings said that last night. First point of contact on laithwaite was from micky macs chest!

Hey im no saint.. But in todays game we are trying to expand the great game and reach other areas that previously we haven't been able to tap into . With summer rugby moving into the junior element we can finally try to tap into the kids who play football and to a lesser extent RU. We have stamped out the fighting to a degree but the cheap shots have to be stamped out. Its a hard game without those .I know

Quote ="saintnickle34"Tackling around the legs is and always will be fine as long as its a standard tackle. When its not fine to me is when the attacker has been stopped usually by 2 defenders and the 3rd man is just there to injure by putting pressure on the knees or ankle joints. And as for your mm's late tackle from behind as being called a late check tackle is remarkable. He 's not the sharpest tool in the box but one thing he knows about is slyness on a rugby league field. He has every cheap shot in the book .Maybe got it off his dad mr newton'"



First up, it was side on and not from behind. Secondly it was a check tackle because the point of impact was with the body, not the shoulder. It also wasn't high. It wasn't even THAT late for God's sake! It was a penalty, nothing more. However I know you have an agenda. I've seen your anti-Wigan ravings over on the Saints boards many times so I'm not particularly sure what you're expecting as a response as I already know full well you aren't after a rational debate. Incidentally, if you're so against the 'third man in' tackle, might I suggest you write to your own club and ask them to stop doing it, along with the other 13 clubs in Superleague.



As for the 'his dad mr newton' (sic) quote; really? I mean....really?

I saw a Saints fan on their board say he/she couldn't believe Walmsley was potentially going to be banned for up to three games when there was many worse incidents in the Wigan/Wire game!



As much as I didn't quite think the Walmsley tackle was as bad as being made out you couldn't make s*it like that up!
