Truce here as well. COYS

I'm with you. T'was a bit naughty, but "its not tiddleywinks", so I wouldn't particulary villify Hoffman for it.
Its a shame for us, given the circumstances of the day, but that's sport for you.

Hoffman got smashed by Soliola, so happy days.

Hopefully what goes around comes around.

Looks like your newspapers was wrong after all ey.

The more rational of us knew there was nothing in the challenge.

I doubt some will see it that way

The hoff could have radio'd kit run over wheeler and then backed over him and you and half the other biased Goons who troll on here would still have claimed it was a legit tackle.

Watching it back I'd still say it was a penalty but the injury is just down to Wheeler being made of Cheese. I wonder if as well as a man of steel we should have a man of cheese award for the most injury prone player in a season

Hoffman didn't hit the standing leg and the RFL are obsessed with the standing leg this season. He didn't hit Wheeler's head either. That doesn't mean to say there was nothing in it. Just that it didn't fit this season's fashionable dangerous tackles. Another ref would have given a penalty for it.

The review committee looked at it and decided there was nothing wrong with it, so why would another referee have given a penalty, and how do you know?

Christ, it's 2 rounds ago now. It's gone, forget about it. It was reviewed and there was no case to answer so he did nothing wrong. It's Rugby League and it's a very hard game, things like this can occur at any time in any given match. Move on and talk about the future instead of moaning about the past, it's not as if Saints have never ever done a late hit on a kicker.

Here here to that!

The hit tackle by Hoffman was not illegal. A match official confirmed this to me after the game. What was questionable was the timing.
He said that the RFL would look at that aspect of the incident.
They now have!
