Solomona Wasn't held in the tackle he was still moving the tackle was not effective and no contact was made with the standing leg as motion had not been stopped .hth

He could just have easily walked up and wrapped the legs, personally i don't see anything wrong with the tackle but he's wrapped up, just clasp his legs and he falls.

The look on Tony Smiths face and post match comments on BBC interview show what he thinks of it.
Not happy.

John Kear says there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it (live on the Beeb).

Either way Solo was our best player and he's out for many weeks I guess.

intent was there with coley. should not be to surprised due to wigans tackling style.ie limas head ripper on hodgson not the first time this season as disciplinary record shows and of course mr neck and above olaughlin how he continually gets away with it is unbelievable!!!!!!!

well one was called eric iirc!

No: Eric was always that shape even before the tackle (ttbmk)

, sort of flat hence the nickname .

I'll give a name Castleford's Jake Emmitt, knee ligament injury after a terrible Jeff Lima tackle.

That was only earlier this month.

If it had been a 3 man tackle, with 2 men holding Solomona up and Coley had attacked the knee then fine there is cause for complaint, but the tackle wasnt complete, Solomona was still moving and it was only a 2 man, 1 up 1 down tackle. I just think its an unfortunate one to be honest. I seem to remember seeing SOL break his leg in a Derby in 2005 against Saints in an equally freak challenge where he got held up and kind of buckled back onto his leg. These things happen unfortunately

Hope hes not too badly hurt.

O'Loughlin seemingly does what he wants with impunity, he is a disgrace.

Whilst i do have a bit of a problem with Wigans tackling philosphy, i don't have a problem with Coleys tackle, injuries happen.

Who?

So what you are saying is that Lockers, Lima and Coley go out every week to intentionally injure and are the only players to do so? You need take them anti Wigan specs off!



And what was so terrible about it?

The RFL teach on their level 2 to tackle like Coley did on sat! On the same course the tutor was asked what they teach at pro clubs. He said they teach 1st man in on the ball, 2nd around the torso 3rd in at the legs. He coaches at Warrington!!
