Just wanted to wish my best wishes to Luke, hope he makes a quick recovery.

You do understand why video links from professional broadcast media aren't allowed anywhere on RLFans don't you ?

I hope you do anyway, I'd hate for you to get the legal bill.

It was a poor attempt at a tackle which bordered on the reckless, and could have left both of them seriously injured. The clash of heads was accidental, the dancing around afterwards was not, or do you people have such thick skulls that you do not realise when there has been major head contact?

The chanting from the inbreds whilst the medical team were fitting the neck brace is about par for the course, and I doubt that we are going to miss your continued participation in SL

NOB

all the best for the future to luke

poss not the thread to have inter club point scoring there's many a ground where 'bring on the dustbin' chant amongst others has been sung including hq.

as for feigning injuries that was the worst bit of alan tait's book for me that he did

No compalints about the hit or the accidental clash of heads its a tough game and they are all big boys and as I have said karma will have its day.

What I do have a slight beef about is the mindset of some of the Cas players with 10 minutes to go. This was evident in the wardance afterwards whilst a fellow pro is badly injured on the floor. WELL OUT OF ORDER IN MY BOOK.

Fair enough celebrating the hit if your 2 points down and are going to get a Final chance to win, but I didn't understand why they were that bothered considering the match was gone.

Oh I believe they were bothered about something and it wasnt winning IMHO

thats how i saw it. Luke won the collision and his momentum was going forward, the young cas kid was on his ass falling backwards. Had the heads not clashed as they did, Burgess would have been in open space

It was poor technique and a lack of control and i think a good coach will talk to him about that. Not from a discipline point of view but if the kids throws around shots like that more often not the young lad will come off second best

I suppose its a way of getting back at your opponents, and takes away part of the enjoyment of winning.

It wasn't a clever tackle technique and Walker was probably lucky not to get injured too. However it wasn't Illegal, and when the adrenaline is running along with frustration, there's always going to be some disregard for personal safety.

Anyway hope he gets back on the field soon.

And to the people who say it was out of order, THIS ISN'T TIDDLYWINKS, THIS IS RUGBY LEAGUE!!!

potentially any tackle in rugby league can cause injury, we've all seen players struggling after fairly innocent tackles like the one on peacock last night
burgess was a case of 2 young players colliding and unluckily for luke he came off worst, if it had been a morley,mcdermott or peacock they might have learnt to lead with the arm and maybe lessen the chances of a head collision

one things for certain , serious or not the leeds lads will queue up to take the pi$$ out of him as soon as he returns to the ground such is the nature of the squad

I take it reading is not your strong point so I will do my best to repeat the context of my concerns.

I didnt say the hit or the accidental contact was out of order and if you can read my post you will see I conceed its indeed a big boys game.

What was not on was the wardance of delight AFTERWARDS whilst a fellow pro is lying badly injured.
