And you must be a Wigan fan, how many time has Mcllorrum put a cheap shot on an opponent? - oh the karma.
Quote: secondstanza "FWIW both teams were absolutely shocking, Hull KR were slightly less shocking though.'"
No they weren't K.R tackled their hearts out & took most of their chances, but you're correct about Wigan though.

It was a very tough and committed game, and you will never see that level on the local park, you obviously have no idea about the difference in stamina required nor the skill in such conditions, or is it that you're international level??
Why not give credit where it is due.'"

You need to watch the tackle on Horne, on exactly 29 mins. That was from the side and by the same player. It looks like he is inclined to make these cannonball type tackles and is gonna hurt someone sooner or later. Think he will hear more about it during the week

Well as you see that type of rugby week in week out I'll take that thanks.

Doing it from behind (Ooooo-eerrrrr) doesn't make it much better. It's still horrible to see a player collapse back over his trapped leg. The upper body cannot fall forward if the player is held, making it incredibly dangerous. It's a sly technique that an honest player, coached responsibly, wouldn't make. It speaks volumes for Maguire era Wigan that their young players use these techniques.

A cannonball tackle is one which attacks a joint against its natural movement, not necessarily one from the side.

Doesn't matter where it's from does it? It's the force of the impact and the weight of the 'chopped', collapsing upper body which isn't able to fall naturally as it's being held, so collapses over the joint.

When did Wigan move to Leigh?
Decent performance from KR and well deserved winners, but Wigan were awful and the game in general wasn't great.

| I noticed the tackle as well, Sam Powell on Horne, dangerous looking tackle. As a Wigan fan I've seen him do this before, pretty sure he was sin binned for it, needs to stamp it out his game.

| The England scrum half totally anonymous again when the pressure is on.

| Great contest. Bad game.
If you believed what Wiganers come out with, you'd think they've a squad full of world beaters. Most of them are crap.
Dom Crosby aka 'The Turtle' with the amount of time he spends on his back. Total waste of space.
Sarginson crap.
Smith disappears totally under pressure yet again.
Hampshire at full back ? I think we've all seen enough by now to see how much he's struggling defensively.
And what else did we all get the pleasure of witnessing again last night ? Wigan throwing the toys out the pram when things don't go their way. We had the full repertoire: high shots, a knock out, cannonball tackles, Mickey's 'hard man' face, Wane's 'this isn't right' face. Honestly, they're an embarrassment to the sport. Still, their fans don't mind about how this group of would be convicts represent their club and the game.
Well done HKR. Deserved victory.

A cannonball tackle has nothing to do with the angle of the joints - it's about diving in at force below the knee.

| Quote The referee didn't control it at all and it gave them a massive advantage.
They were the better team. They came with a game plan and it worked.
We were just a bit dumb today giving the penalties away and not really committing to our plays."
For CONSISTANCY ![Twisted Evil icon_twisted.gif](images/smilies//icon_twisted.gif) which of the 2 highlighted parts of the comment is true?
Perhaps the almighty Saddened may be put upon to pass his enlightened judgement.
All that aside, it wasn't that good a game. Hull KR played as a team following a simple but effective plan and it paid off.
