It WAS serious foul play. A stiff arm at head height. Red card every time. If a TO player had done the same it should be the same.

...and despite my previous comment, Leeds deserved the win based on their better control of the ball.

It's sport. Just like every other match, you get some luck and you get some bad luck.

Isn’t every arm stiff when making a tackle? Be a bit of rubbish tackle otherwise.

I could have understood a yellow card for Crosby, as happened to Morgan Knowles in the cup semi final last week, but a red would be harsh. Otherwise every high tackle would be a red card.

There are plenty of high tackles that are a bit of a grab, but an RL player knows when he's leading with his arm straight out that he's trying to hurt the opposition player. If that's at head height and he connects then it's a red card offence imo. Still feel it was soft by the officials.

6 pages in,and no mention on this thread(supposedly Leeds supporter) from Sir Kev Sinfield........Oh hang on,Toulouse lost.

Jeez you’re really digging a hole, it was a penalty nothing more, there are probably a couple or 3 tackles most games like that. Lets face it if it was not leeds you would not be still rattling on snout it.

This site awaits your next dummy spit regarding the officials with interest .

Toulouse played some entertaining rugby and would be a great addition to Super League

Yes there are but every tackle leads with the arm and shoulder. Every player going into a tackle wants to hurt the opposition. That’s the aim of the tackle. Which is why it’s important players don’t hit high because they’re going into a tackle with a lot of intent. However I don’t think we can red card every instance of a player getting it wrong. Personally I thought it should have been a yellow card, as with the Knowles incident.

We have a sin bin yet it’s underused in my opinion.

I’d also take note of Unions approach of potentially lowering the height of high tackles to the arm pit. I think that’d be interesting in RL, would it enable more offloading and potentially a game that’s better to watch?

Toulouse are only two big Antipodean props and one good centre short of Super League standard.

The halves Jonathan Ford and Stan Robin are outstanding, and full back Mark Kheirallah is very good.

The management and coach of Toulouse should consult with Trent Robinson who used to play and coach Toulouse.

And yet in your <REMOVED> you have them finishing above Hull KR Salford and Widnes <REMOVED>.
