Yep. But don't tell that to those who worship at the feet of Brough.
Don't forget earlier in the game the ref had to have words with Brough & Hardaker to try and calm them both down. That isn't a regular tackle and it doesn't happen by accident. Brough meant to put his legs where he did. Whether he meant to injure only he will know, but it was, at least, reckless and should've been picked up by the disciplinary.
Of course, in a previous game this season Brough accused Hardaker of biting him, so there's a bit of ongoing problem between the 2.

What Omar said.

But anyone who knows anything about RL doesn't need the rule book to know that that isn't a legal tackle and it's dangerous. Just as dangerous as the sh|thouse tackle by Chase on Ferres.

Probably already been said elsewhere but I thought Paul Anderson's conduct both during and after the game fell well below that expected by a Head Coach. Hopefully, when he reviewed the video of the game he realised that he got to caught up in the heat of the battle. I hope there's a fine on the way from the RFL and a strong warning about future conduct.

I posted the same immediately after his comments....Brough avoiding any disciplinary after that woeful 'tackle' is shocking (I perceived it to be bad at the time, but Him as highlighted just how bad !!) but it is equally shocking that Anderson has apparently been excused any consequences for his conduct.

AS for these 'tackles' (Sneyd on McGuire another) I guess it will take a severe injury for the RL to actually do anything about it.

Wow, aren't you a belter.

Sadly it does appear that the RFL will only hand out a decent length ban if the player is seriously injured. The only one I can think of that got anything like they deserved was Chase on Ferres. But even then do we really think the RFL would've handed out the ban they did had Ferres not been so badly injured? Plus I think it should've been longer anyway.

I hate these type of tackles. I know things can happen in RL and that players can get injured and players can make mistakes when tackling so I'm prepared to give some benefit of the doubt to certain tackles like high tackles/sticking an arm out/even some spear tackles. But tackles like this, like Sneyd on McGuire, like Chase on Ferres have no place whatsoever in our game. You don't have to tackle like this. You can perform a perfectly good tackle without doing this. So these tackles should be eliminated from our sport.

Brough went for Zak with his legs in the second minute. Zak collected in goal and was pretty certain to be trapped, but Brough lunged in feet first to block off an avenue, not a nice tactic and one again that went unpunished.

this is blurry but still doesn't look great

I'm against it but it's certainly not as clear cut as this. What's your point?

Unless that coach is Paul Anderson of course.

Well, luckily it's the two most unprofessional coaches going head to head tonight. Hope they completely do each other. If we don't win tomorrow, I sincerely hope Saints win at OT.

It was certainly clear cut from were I was sat. Peacock had no chance of stopping the try but went charging in with his knee's, with the only outcome being a possible injury. He can't even use fatigue as a factor because it was in the first 10 minutes. My point is 'those in glass houses & all that........'

I get it, I shouldn't comment on two very questionable incidents involving the same opposition player recklessly risking the safety of the same Rhinos player on a thread specificallyabout one of those incidents unless I first caveat it by covering each and every potentially comparable piece of foul play dished out by a Leeds player. That makes sense. We should do that on every thread, no talking about specific incidents until you've covered everything else that's ever happened.

Thanks for the heads up genius.

Brough is very quick thinking - he has proved that time and time again. He proved that when he joined Jon Wells for the post match analysis when they beat Saints last month.

He knew exactly what he was doing when he went in for the 'scissor' tackle on Hardaker.

If he took the sh|thouse stuff out of his game and had an attitude adjustment he could have been one of the best players in SL. Unfortunately "once a sh|house always a sh|house".
