Quote: RatedRKO "Lauitiiti should be going to Red Hall over the attack to the head on Luke Gale when he was defenceless on the ground near the end of the game. Was mentioned on sky. Dirty coward.'"
It's a game of rugby for gods sake go watch football if you don't want to see aggression and there was no contact made.
There appeared to be some malice with Addy on (ex team mate aswell as smallest player on the field) Sammut but he luckily didn't continue with his illegal tackle on him probably as he saw Kirmond approaching!
Scrotum also was lucky he didn't get a 2 game ban for his shoulder charge on Anderson which made contact with his head and could have been very dangerous but Anderson carried on and made another 2/3 metres driving the ball after the collision if he'd gone down who knows what the referee would have done? (As he was poor IMHO missing the legal Smith ball strip penalising then Bulls score from next play)..serious injury or initial perceived serious injury seems to have to result before tougher action is taken. "We understand that the shoulder charge is popular with many people in rugby league but we also have a duty to manage the welfare and safety of players involved in the game at all levels," said RFL laws committee secretary Blake Solly when it was outlawed on 20/2/13....
Look at Collis on Gaskell not even penalised during the game as it looked text book.... If Gaskell came back on and played a further 20 mins or so there wouldn't have been a ban for Collis I'm sure but because he's out for several weeks the tackle has been looked at closer on sky video footage and a 2 game ban given.
