Luke Burgess away at Castleford last season, either a broken jaw or broken cheekbone from a shoulder to the head IIRC? |

but that wasnt from a shoulder charge, it was a regular tackle so jsut very unlucky.
I dont like the 3rd man into the tackle when the player is held and stood up - called the stinger by most teams. Danny Houghton at Hull is coached to do the stinger - not into the ribs or kidneys mind, but to take the legs, so the players goes to ground

15 posts in and there's already a dig at Wigan. Thought it would have happened much earlier IMO  |

There is an issue with tackling techniques but I don't think a ban on shoulder charges or 3 man tackles is the way forward.
Shoulder charges are fantastic for the fans to watch and can really change a game and you can't have the ridiculous situation where 2 men are desperately trying to wrestle someone like Lauitiiti, Feka or Solomona whilst 2 other defenders stand there watching while the ball is offloaded.
I do think there has to be much closer scrutiny of the tackle by the refs, which is why I think there should be 2 refs, to ensure that pressure is not being placed on players joints by tacklers.

Its far more dangerous going for the knees. Does real damage |

I can see the case for banning shoulder charges.
One area of the game where Union has got it right.

I cannot think of a serious (as in long layoff with possible weakness in the future) injury that has occurred because of a shoulder charge except for the player making the tackle injuring his shoulder. |

 Without the shoulder charge you might aswell wave goodbye to big hits |

Head to head collision, Walker's shoulder hit Burgess' chest but the force whiplashed them both...into each other, freak accident. |

Dissagree, its one of many areas that RU has it wrong... it is afterall a sport where the players are looking to go to ground at the point of tackle and have no real desire to offload in the process... and that stupid allowance that a tackled player can throw the ball up to a supporting player.... aaaagghhh!  |
