Every big hit I've seen in the last 10 years that resulted in lost possession has always been greeted with back slapping and celebration, it's par for the course.
It's only when there is an obvious injury people stop, just like what actually happened.

When did this become a nancy game ? or at least when did the fans ?

Didnt JW appolgise though after he realised Burgess was injured?

If he did fair play. I dont have a problem with OTHER players running in and congratulating good play or big hits whatever thats par for the course and adds to the game

if its a good contest. but not 2 minutes from time from a heavy defeat just smacks of bitterness in my book.

I guess I have 2 main issues.

JW personal celebrations jumping about as if he had added anything to the game 2 minutes from time and over 30 points down is just pathetic

and secondly he must have known he had clashed heads and IMO he must have been aware almost instantly that Burgess was injured.

What do you expect from a Forrest Gump. "Tackle Forrest, tackle".

Heres another one

remember when Volcano caught Burrow and he help him out when he was out cold? The whole of the South Stand sung his name as respect for helping Robbie

X-Ray of Biffa's Jaw;

I saw that earlier it really made me cringe

Hes also got one on twitter with his face swollen like Kanye Wests the poor lad

Jesus christ never thought it'd be cracked like that

jaw now held together with 3 titanium plates and 12 screws

I think that there has been a massive over-reaction on here to a currently legal shoulder charge/bodycheck or whatever you want to call it.
I've no doubt that Walker did not intend to break Burgess' jaw but he surely meant to inflict pain just as our players do in reverse.
I am glad though that the boot wasn't on the other foot (as it were) & that it wasn't Walker on the receiving end of a similar challenge from Ryan Bailey.
Just imagine the uproar had that happened.
Get well soon Luke, come back stronger next year.

i think the reaction was purely based on the hit, i honestly dont think JW had realised just how badly Burgess was hurt, the celebration didnt actuall continue for very long, yeah it was nasty, and a clash of heads, but i doubt JW had realised that at first. There was no intention to injure Luke, it was just an unlucky conclusison to JW sprinitng 50m flat out to Burgess just hitting the ball. However, i do wish BUrgess a speedy recovery

Didnt even notice that, typical NHS !

My only issue with shoulder charges is when they make contact with the head. Then for me its an illegal hit, same as a swinging arm. SBW's on Bai in the World Club Challenge a few years back being a prime example. If they hit the shoulder/upper body I've no problem with them.
