Ali definitely got dropped on his head against London in what was a very poor tackle! Think the lad got a one game ban which was probably about right as injury was avoided.....with Ali being a big fella though it did look probably worse than it was..

With Poore's effort tonight, I actually think it was a worse tackle as there was a bit more aggression in it....having said that, Aiton kind of softened the blow a little and probably aided Poore in getting off with it. If there's any consistency at all in what I've seen lately he will cop a one match ban which is probably about right...

Unfortunately for Justin he's now a 'marked' man and needs to clean up his act or he is going to undo the good work he does in giving us go forward....

would that be the pass where sykes slipped his fingers in to knock the ball loose?

No, the pass from acting half back....to Ellis, that was clearly a yard or two forward....

you maybe right, but roby was guilty of missing many things, like a blatent obstruction by smith that went unpunished 10 metres from the fc line

Yes I agree! He missed a hell of a lot and more than contributed to a slow and scrappy game for the most part! Although it did end up making for a very exciting finish....even more so for me!!

The possible obstruction, I don't think was in a passage of play that was referred to the video referee like the 'forward pass' I am on about.

I think it's a crazy ruling that they can't have a say on a forward pass which they are 100% sure on like he could have been with this one....that ultimately led to a try being scored....

No maybe about it.

I didnt think it was that bad, yes the legs were high, but Poore put the player on his back not his head, i have seen much worse!

No, that would be the tackle that saw an England international unable to hold onto the ball. Fortunately for Thaler his blatant error in judgement didn't cost the best team the game.

You worrying for Bailey when we play Leeds again in a few weeks??

It was a bad tackle but not the worst spear I have seen this season that has gone on report.

10 years ago that tackle would have been cheered, landed on his back

Not at all, Im sure Bailey is looking forward to playing against him, considering the only headlines Poore is getting is for his terrible disciplinary record He is exactly the kind of player Bailey wants to face, an average plodder who is easy to wind up, bread and butter to Bailey.

I don’t disagree there have been worse and will be worse, it wasn’t the worst spear in the world but he picked his legs up, they went above his head and Poore slammed him down. The fact the player wasn’t injured was luck more than judgement and Poore owes Aiton a beer. But it was dangerous, it was stupid and will almost certainly result in a ban, so why wasn’t it dealt with there and then when we have a VR capable of seeing multiple angles within seconds.

Yeah, I'm sure Bailey is looking forward to it - he's probably on his prayer mat right now hoping Poore gets several games - save him investing in some spare pairs of pants cos he keeps crapping in them.

Poore is about as hard as eggs. Doesn't exactly bust defences does he?

Completely cleaned out one on one when he should have scored.

Poore has got no chance this season. Ever since the Boxing Day incident he's been a marked man. Some of those laying on penalties last night were nothing but as soon as the ref saw 'POORE 8' on the back of the shirt he blew for a penalty. Pathetic.

It won't be long until we're playing touch and pass.
