Does anyone remember the France v Samoa game in the world cup? There were 3 or 4 very similar hits. No sendings off and no bans.

It was a bad challenge, I think we all agree on that. Can we move on now?

But we don't all agree!!

Ok dad.



That was a brutal game with a lot of late hits by the big Samoan forwards on the French playmakers. There was at least one sin bin and 2 players were later cited and banned.

The most ironic thing about all of this is Paul Anderson moaning about cheap shots! Huddersfield coach of all people moaning about cheap shots, really???? Greg Johnson anyone? How long was he out for? He had 3 separate head shots on him at our place!

I think it's a pretty cheap shot to fall on Theo Fages after he's scored a try.

I think Junior had a word.

The Tasi tackle and the physicality of this particular game is being built up into something it doesn't merit.

I thought we watched a good Salford performance against a Huddersfield team that appeared to have gone off the boil a bit. We played well but caught them on a bad day for them and a good day for us.

These things happen in rugby i'm more enthused about the outstanding performance! Let's enjoy the win and move on to the Hull FC game.

I'm warming to Harris, he's not as verbose as the previous 'gob for hire', and he dresses like a tramp. but what he does say is frank & not overstated .
the sport in it's dash for Heath & Safety & political correctness have forgotten that it's supposed to be a physical game & is not a game that can be played half heartedly .
I didn't think saturdays game was played with any agenda to harm. ( Penatly count was 6 apiece) but mis-timed & late challenges do occur.
Tasi's tackle was a bad one , late - high and one's Brough's blind side as he passed the ball. I leave it to the disciplinary to determine . but I wouldn't want Tasi or Harris to alter his ' physical policy '
. with over 600 tackles in the game you must expect this with two committed defences.

Which shows what bias can do to some people's opinions.

It was late, it was bad, but I don't think it was intentional. That's the crux - the intention. Nothing else should surely be under discussion?

There's only one person who can tell if it's intentional or not and I doubt Tasi will come on here and own up if he did target Brough.

GT how could it be bad,if it wasn't intentional?
If he didn't mean to do it,it was not bad.
BIAS : no idea what that means.Judge the incident for what it was,unintentional,probably carried out by a fully committed player,who will probably be suspended. I hope he gets an early guilty plea!
