It's all just part of the RFL conspiracy to stop the mighty Saints. Banning them didn't work so now it's injuring them.

I expected this reaction from saddo, judder and the site troll but the reaction from the rest of the family has been quite comical and cheered me right up after Wigan got beat.

I said on here in the week that they've built this narrative that they're hard done to all the time but this goes to another extreme.

are you still crying.move on like Penrith panthers did.hope to see you at wembleigh.enjoy your 6 weeks off school.

your biased go back to your playground.up the leopards.

There are similar tackles every game.

These ones are pretty close to the mark but judged legal by the RFL when examined closely.

The world isn't out to get St Helens and that club and its fans constantly throwing their toys out of the pram every time they lose a big game is really starting to get tiresome.

Wellens mentioned in an interview that Asiata used this technique in round 3.
Why didn't Wellens pursue this at that time?
Obviously, being proactive is not his strength.

They were desperate attempts to stop the forward momentum of the Saints player, with no thought for self-preservation. I doubt he gave a second's thought to potential injury to Paasi or Walmsley, or himself.

If you are going to just purposely aim your shoulder into someones knee knowing full well that the only outcome is a hyper extended knee, then yeah, you have given it a seconds thought.

Thats why no one else in the league does it.

I've seen your comments on Redvee also, you come across as a bit of a 'drama queen'. Poor Mike Cooper missed nearly the whole of the season because of a bad tackle by Morgan Knowles, and unfortunately you have ONE player who will miss a similar amount of time because of a 'last ditch' tackle around the knees by a Leigh player. And obviously if Leeds Rhinos beat you on Friday, all your buddies will be blaming the current dirtiest player in world rugby, John Asiata.

Right okay. No one can tackle St Helens players anymore. It’s not fair!

Well it seems the consensus is that we all want to see more of these tackles.

So be it.

But for me it's the same as a Cumberland throw, that was fine for a while until enough injuries took place.

But let's get coaching it as no one seems overly bothered.

To be fair, fans of big clubs like Wigan and Leeds (except for the trolls on this thread) agree that they were terrible tackles. It’s only fans of small clubs like Warrington and Leigh that get pleasure out of St Helens players getting maimed because that’s all they have to cheer about

Go to bed...

In the case of the Paasi tackle, the shoulder hit the thigh, not the knee.
