Slightly late and a bit high but then Walmsley is about a foot taller so it's not surprise.

The games being watered down far too much if he cops anything more then a game ban.

See I don't think it has in this respect. I think it has been far too far in respect of a bit of biff but not for high and dangerous (ie spear) tackles.

I think the tackle Walmsley made on Robinson was very dangerous. It's a very big, very strong, very athletic guy's shoulder being propelled into someone's head. Then add in it was a bit late and it gets worse as the player receiving the hit isn't ready for it.

Now don't get me wrong I don't think Walmsley intended to hit Robinson high and I'm not making him out to be a villain, he made a mistake. But with players being so big, strong and powerful these days high tackles are much more dangerous than they used to be, especially when it's a shoulder rather than just an arm stuck out.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg



Quote: Bull Mania "If he's ducking then that's fine IMO. It's his fault and he's gonna get clobbered on head.

Robinson wasn't ducking though and it was clear contact with head'"


On this occaision yes, but Robinson and more usually Burrows have tried ducking under tackles and been given penalties as a result

I can't remember too many occasions in burrow's entire career where he's had a penalty for a high tackle and he'd ducked into the tackle. Most of the time when burrow ducks into a tackle, he makes a break, or get's nailed by the opposition players midriff/bollox/knees...... https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1475508896050772

Ref put in on report......
Take a look at this one by Aizue today on Greg Burke. Burke had to be given oxygen on the pitch, was knocked out cold for a while and suffered serious facial injuries.

It appears to be a shoulder charge as it didn't look like there was any use of the arms. The point of impact is unclear from that video, could be a shocker, might not.

"oh why did he kick that ball? that's why it's a try!":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_28639.gif



Quote: Him "As said above, it's difficult to see the point of impact but it goes to show why we have to be careful with high tackles. The players are continually getting faster, stronger and more powerful and, personally, I think we're on a fine line before somebody will be very seriously hurt.'"


Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't all this start to take precedence, when tackling became less around the legs, and more around the waist to trap the ball?

Yes, players are more stronger, faster, and powerful. But it's only percentages, with initial contact being higher up on the body, that more of them will make contact with the head, than say 20-30 years ago?

Also with the addition of the 10 metre rule. I'm no physicist, but wouldn't that also increase the force of the collision and initial hits? If we're talking about player safety being paramount, then perhaps both of these need a look at it before anything else.

Didn't gat an answer when I asked Radford how much he paid Stokes to save his job.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_4438.jpg



Broncos v Bradford Oscar Thomas on a break steps the last man who smacks him in the head, bit of a clothesline. Broncos get a penalty but no action on the Bradford player ffs

Quote: Him "Did the ref give a penalty?

If he did then he should've dealt with it there and then and not put it on report.

'"


Yes he gave Town the penalty but put it on report. Aizue now been charged with Grade D offence by match review panel.
