| It certainly wasn't a malicious tackle and shouldn't in any way be punished. Someone should have a quiet word in his ear and just remind to be careful but more than that to get his technique sorted. It was bloody awful tackle technique. He needs to bend his back and get his head to one side, if he'd done that it would have been an even better hit.
I don't think Westwood knew Kirke was out, he was probably a bit dazed himself initially. Credit to Briers for helping Kirke. I think Briers has been a far better player since Tony Smith sorted his attitude and channeled his undoubted skill into better areas.

| Quote: Paul2812 "Reckless tackling technique ? Nothing wrong with it at all. Westwood just smashed him which goes on in the NRL every week. Hence why the game down under is light years ahead of ours.
If you want to look for a poor tackle, look no further than Griffins cowardly elbow on Harrison at the end of the game. Very Bailey-esque.'"
griffin tackle was a good hit, westwoods was just a head clash not even a hit! and these 'hits' dont happen every week in the nrl and the commentators never appluad it when it happens.

| Very poor tackling technique, but no malice in it whatsoever. An unfortunate incident, but it's gone now and thankfully Kirke is ok.

| The one thing about that incidient which is frustrating is the fact it was given as a knock on. Whilst yes Kirke dropped the ball, there had been contact with the head from the defender (yes, accidental). Still though, is it not the defenders responsibility to avoid the head of the ball carrier and should the fact there was a head collision mean it should have been play the ball to the attacker rather than a knock on?

Short answer no
Explained answer it is the ball carriers responsibility to keep hold of the ball knocked out or not

Even after there has been clear contact with the ball carrier's head?
Not so sure in that instance that the rule is fair and should perhaps be looked at.

| said the exact same thing on the wigan board, its stupid to expect a player knocked out on hes feet to keep hold of the ball.

| To be fair, Ben Westwood struggles to run and hold on to the ball at the same time and remembering to breath! Like someone said, there aint much up top!
Nothing wrong with the tackle, or the afters! Hope Ian Kirke is ok, seems to be just one of them hits!

| Kirke was making about his 10th hit-up. Top effort. The ball just seemed to keep ending up in his hands.
Westwood has enough up top to play this sport to a high level. Would love it if Leeds had a second rower as good.
Jones-Buchanan has left his rugby smarts in the dressing room this past fortnight. One man defensive rushes are a waste of effort generally and the one where he got in Bailey's way was a mental move and invited Warrington to go the length with ease.

If you ever get the chance to talk to JJB you'll very soon realise that he's quite a smart cookie. Bailey on the other hand...
