Quote: jools "In relation to the injury, I’m not sure what you were watching but the game wasn’t stopped immediately at all! Hill was injured carrying the ball in a tackle, the game was only stopped after you had the ball and had played the ball a couple of times! hill initially went down, the game continued, he tried to get up again and couldn’t, the game still continued, it was only when he had completely broken down and the game was then coming towards him that the game was stopped. It was clear he’d done something major-he played no further part in the game - thornley played on so you can’t compare the two!
Could also mention the play where Jerry almost scored and on the next play cogger went for the line and two wigan players tackled him high, one round the neck, the other round the head that went unpunished. - we could play this fit for tat game all day long!!!
But there’s a difference between a desperate tackle and a deliberate forearm smash to the face.
I know Morgan personally-always cheer him on when he’s not playing against us - but he should have walked. It may well have made no difference but consistency is what we’ve been asking for all season and that stupidity at the start of the season means we will never have it.'"
Absolutely spot on.
Said same at the game when a 'Pies' fan was whinging. It was obvious that Hill was badly injured the way he went down the second time, and as you say there were a couple of PTB's before the play came towards him.
