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.

Absolutely this. I've watched the Paasi tackle a number of times and it's the thigh he makes first contact with.

I don't think he goes out to deliberately injure the pair, they're both desperate attempts in my view but there's only one player who can truly answer that question.

I'd appreciate an opinion of Morgan Knowles' season ending tackle on Cooper from Saints fans who have an issue with Asiata.

That was an accident, these things can happen in RL and was part of the conspiracy against Saints to ban all their players.

I think you are missing the point, he is hurling himself into the tackle reckless to himself and the opponent. The Walmsley one was a head charge and the Passi one was a shoulder charge, at that point it wasn't a tackle until Asiati used his arms. He also does this neck high as well the one he executed against a York player was late and high with no arm wrap. I,ve really not seen in detail the damage he did to LMS and Knowles.

We don't know where he has got this technique from because its banned in the NRL and the RFU, if has got the green light to carry with this technique then its only a question of time when he snaps knee and and ankle ligaments again, it just looks dangerous and shouldn't be glorified.

I don't know what the ruling is in Aus, perhaps you can clarify, but the Paasi tackle is should & arms, so why is it banned? The Warmsley he does seem to just throw himself head first in the way of his legs.
