It's perfectly illegal for Wigan to tackle. Yes we get it.
Oh and Finch punching? Must have missed that, I did see Cross swinging quite a few times though, most notably at S. Tomkins but no doubt that's all fine and dandy.

It is nice to see Wigan fans proven wrong again. They claim they have such impeccable defense and such flamboyant attack. When in truth they have turnstiles for defense behind the twenty, there attack is clumsy and errors are frequent and they cheat and spit their dummy out when they are not getting what they want.
In the off season they claimed to be the most entertaining rugby. My left bollok, they are.

This thread is pretty pathetic from both sets of fans. Why is it that a thread like this always turns into pointless arguments.

A tackle around the legs is a tackle, that's OK when the player is running and you catch and gather his legs together to effect the tackle. When a player is standing and you hit the leg below the knee and bend and twist the leg up that is not a tackle that is a dangerous action which could lead to career ending injury. Why can't your players hit above the knee because you can still gather the legs and complete the desired effect - a well controlled and executed tackle.
I do agree that Wigan players do this all the time, Tompkins on Cunningham - last season, Leuluai - last week and Lima last night. By this I can only believe that it is coached! |

Open your anti wigan eyes, watch the game and you will see that the first point of impact was actually on the thigh |

| Quote Live Wired="Live Wired"since when has a tackle around the legs become an offense? It does'nt matter that 2 players were already in the tackle, the point is Clarkson was still moving and a perfectly legitimate target.
Touch rugby anyone?'"

The tackle was not on the standing leg and the player was still moving.
If the Leeds player had managed to offload the ball in the tackle, everyone would be having a go at Lima for not attempting the tackle. |

I've never seen a player offload it with his leg. |
