he's essentially done this, a Heel hook which is barred from use in competition until you're a black belt, as it will LOVE your knee up badstyle, on this if you get caught, you'll have like 6 months of damage done before you even feel it.

And therein lies evidence no-one should ever pay any attention whatsoever to anything you ever post. Your observations on the game from this point forward (for those who didn't know it already) have just been rendered null and void and moronic.
"Can't see it"?

Well obviously I can see he's being naughty and applying pressure to the leg that he has no right to. But what I can't tell from that is what he actually physically does at the end. Does he just rotate the foot? I'm watching on an old work PC with a 13 inch screen, it's hardly easy to see.

| Quote Roy Haggerty="Roy Haggerty"Deliberate attempt to put pressure on the joint after the tackle was completed. Clearly intending to seriously injure the tackled player - and looks like he did.
Take the rest of the season out to think about what a t0sser you are, son, and if you're lucky, we might let you play again next year.'"
Worse than Flower in my opinion (premeditated attempt to seriously injure an opponent rather than reaction) and deserves a longer ban. Anyone know if this has been to disciplinary yet and if so how many matches did he get?

Agreed. Whilst Flower's was (very) bad, it was a case of rage and lunacy, rather than a cynical attempt to severely injure.

| A couple of weeks ago during the Bradford vs Doncaster game Matt Groat struck Lee Gaskell in the jaw with his elbow in an off the ball incident. Gaskell is now out for possibly 8 weeks, which is a big blow for Bradford's promotion push as he's one of the Bulls major attacking threats, however Groat is sitting out just 3 games and claims he never intended to hurt Gaskell. I think it situations like that, the players causing the injury should face a ban of the same length as the injured player is out for.

| As the BBC reports the death of another young man, this time in the Queensland Cup surely we should be looking to make the game as safe as it can reasonably be. As a man who played through the 80s and 90s I remember how virtually every team had some nutter who would happily inflict any damage that they could get away with. If the super athletes of today got up to the same tricks there would be carnage. Banning the worst kinds of behaviour is not going soft, the game is faster and as hard as it ever was but at last we are starting to show some common sense. No one should have to suffer from something that can reasonably be avoided.
My prayers go out to James Ackerman and his family.

| I think it is becoming a little bit soft. There's still some great hits and some very tough lads playing. However there's too much diving, too much feigning injury, too many players seeing their s when a big hit comes in (some don't like being tackled hard. What's that about?!?)
I miss the shoulder charge. There was nothing wrong with the way it was. An illegal tackle was a shoulder charge to the head or a late shoulder charge - that was bang on! A fair shoulder charge was great to watch.
The thing that gets me about it is that when a player runs in with the ball he shoulder charges the defenders...so what's the difference?
