| Quote G1="G1"I'd have my palms face down and arms out. Avoid breaking my arm.
As would everybody else. It's why there are so many wrist injuries from falls. The natural reaction to a fall is to put your hands out, not your forearm.
Bridge could come up with better than that.'"
Also, landing on your elbow is the best way to dislocate your shoulder. I should know.

Whose face were you trying to smash?
I find it best to break any face first falls with my face. Does the least damage aesthetically.

| Quote tvoc="tvoc"More forearm than elbow IMO. I'm afraid I can only comment on what actually happened.
It was potentially dangerous and got the punishment it deserved'"
You might be right about the forearm, I'll rewatch it. I'd argue that it was dangerous, as opposed to potentially dangerous and that the RFL has yet to determine the punishment it deserves.

Of the 6 times I have dislocated my shoulder swimming with dolphins was the best dislocation.

| Quote tvoc="tvoc"So why in the thread opener did you state:
Had he elbowed the Bradford player in the face as you originally claimed then you might have had a point. He didn't though as you now appear to accept.
Bridge is a loose cannon, I still don't really understand why any Leeds fan doesn't want to see him lining up next week. I wish it had been Atkins or Waterhouse or Westwood from the dug-out that had 'elbowed the Bradford player in the face' instead.'"
My bad, i should have added attempted to, this is one of the few cases I agree with the use of "Intent" as it was quuite clear what bridge was trying to do, same as when Luke tried to snap Chase's knee in the 4 nations, he didnt succeed, but you can see what he was trying to do.
As for wanting him banned, Im looking at it as an RL fan not just a leeds fan. You cant let him get away with it

| Bridge, I think, has been charged with the use of a forearm. That's fair enough given it was a televised game and it's deemed important by the authorities to make examples of players in these cases.
I trust as fellow RL fans we'll all be equally outraged the next time a Leeds player does something similar.

| Quote Omar Little="Omar Little"
Moa's red was correct IMHO - he made contact with the head of Rinaldi, yes it was a shoulder charge but contact with the head is against the rules. It was accidental but dangerous and a red was justified - it's the defenders duty to take due care.'"
Have to disagree, using Bailey v fasavalu as precedent, it was perfectly legal and IMO is one of the things that separates our great sport from kick and clap. However refs are not exactly known for consistency
However quoted barrie's "It was Rinaldi's fault for being small" I agree, had Moa flattened a London Prop he would most likely have got up dusted himself off and nothing the more would have been said, nor should it imo

Of course, there is a fine line between gamesmanship and being dirty, what bridge did was dirty

Having not been outraged at this incident I will discuss any subsequent incidents in a similar fashion to how I've discussed this one, without outrage.
