Quote: bren2k "If you read a bit more of the interview, he also says that a lot of the team, including Ruben Wiki "wanted blood."
It's genuinely shocking - I'd be surprised if there aren't further repercussions.'"
Yes I have read the interview, but although the others may have said things Luke was the only one who made a blatant deliberate attempt to seriously injure an opposition player. That wasn't the first and only time he tried to injure a player. Has attack on Shiilington's leg proved that. The problem with trying to take action against Wiki is that he only said something which be said in the heat of the moment or by being caught up in the emotion. For Wiki to be banned the IRL would have to prove he specifically told players to go out and injure Chase.
This was personal, plain and simple. I don't recall any New Zealander ever trying to Deliberately injure Tonie Carroll (he turned his back on them after representing them) or an Aussie try to deliberately injure Nathan Fien or Brent Webb (both Australian born)
