Quote: warrior24 "Well done. Bell end status achieved.'"


My god, the Wigan fans on here are all like Batista's character in Guardians of the Galaxy. They take everything in it's purest literal form.

I've seen one Wigan fan who is able to admit the sport needs to cut out these sort of tackles. ONE. That is disappointing. I guess we'll have to wait until a young league player gets maimed before we do anything about it.

Quote: Judder Man "That was purely a demonstration by Jammer of what Bailey has been doing all his career '"
Here's your opportunity to provide evidence. There must be dozens of clips out there showing Bailey doing this?

I agree we need to cut out cannonball tackles. Thats two, we can start a club.

Quote: Judder Man "That was purely a demonstration by Jammer of what Bailey has been doing all his career and was partly justified on Bailey going head high on big Maurie, also Jammer went into the lower ribcage and not below the knee joint.. Saints fans loved it because it proved Bailey can't take it back what he dishes out, I recall Bailey didn,t do much afterwards and resigned to the subs bench, also the rest of the Leeds forwards appeared to accept it without retaliation.'"


In your world, did Saints win the 5 Grand Finals between 2007 - 2011 ?

We've heard you. Tell us what the rules should say, given that dangerous contact is already outlawed.

It was all going so well for you and along came Judderman. Would you please, in the interest of fairness, tell judderman his post sounds bitter and nasty and that he should apologise to all fairminded fans.

You can be his bell end understudy if you like?

A lot of Wigan fans won,t accept any liabilities because most of them are living in Wanes World, the fact that the birthplace of the cannonball in super league belongs to Wigan and Wanes promotion of thuggery play are entities difficult to sweep under the carpet.

So Wigan fans should carry around some sort of collective guilt-trip for unleashing this demon pox on the game, like Catholics and Original Sin? icon_lol.gif

All coaches are looking for an edge. Any tactic that is more or less within the laws of the game will be utilised. It's the nature of professional sport. Wigan may well have been one of the first in SL to use it (and I guess it emanated, like so much else dubious in the game, from the Melbourne Storm), but if they hadn't someone else would have.

I don't like the tactic, but I think (and most posters here seem to agree?) that drastic rules changes aren't necessary. As pointed out, dangerous contact laws already exist. Referees just need to be prepared to call held in the timely fashion. And if the current NRL interpretation was applied here, I think that would be sufficient. I accept that's a lot easier to achieve with two refs, though.
