Hang on If he doesn't jump, he gets tackled around the waist. He jumps, and gets tackled on the thigh......Checkmate.

Your own fans loudly applauded/cheered/laughed when the player hobbled off injured on Friday. Take your double standards elsewhere.

Like we're the only ones to do that

If this is true they are certainly the dregs. I have my suspicions they are anyway, but this would confirm it.

The usual form is to clap an injured player off the field not jeer. These are sportsman risking serious injury.

Quote: Saddened! " If you're okay with people tackling like Asiata is then that doesn't reflect well on you. Mata'utia has only avoided a season ending injury by jumping to avoid it. The tackle is aimed at knee level and he's just thrown his whole weight through his leg. He's Mata'utia spotting him coming and jumping away from another major controvery and another player facing a major rehab, if not the end of their career.'" This sounds like [iFuturecrime[/i to me. Lot's of projection in your statement. Surely the fact is the RFL Disciplinary have looked into what [iactually happened [/iand there is no charge resulting. Anything after that could be considered to be just whinging one didn't get the outcome one wanted. Anyway maybe it was payback for this cheap late head shot by Mata'utia. 2m 55s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNYnrc4kjfA What goes around, comes around.

Well, they definitely did so. Putting my rfl hat on, there was some mitigation ( ) because when he'd been sin binned earlier, he'd gestured to the crowd asking for 'more' as they jeered him off. So, I guess in their eyes he was fair game and asking for it when he was later injured, coupled with the fact he's public enemy no 1 in St Helens.

It's Saddened taking over a topic on the Warrington forum again - just hit the ignore button with him and life is so much better.....Simples!

The key to this is where the contact was made, that will influence the number of games a player receives. A high tackle that hits the shoulder first will get less games than one which contacts the head directly.

The technique is banned for contact below the knee, If he injured a Warrington player with a tackle that was on or below the knee I would agree I’d be angry. Fact is he hit above the knee. I totally agree a tackle that endangers the knee joint should be taken out of the game - and it’s been outlawed. If there are injuries occurring from similar tackles where contact is ‘just above the knee’ then they should review the guidelines again.

At no point would I think it’s hilarious any player was out of the game for any period of time.

He was warned, he was given an in game yellow and a grade A - which I think impacts future suspensions. If he carries on tackling like that he’s going to cop a long ban, but until he does there isn’t much that can be done other than the grade A he was given.

Wow Sad One can’t half wang on, I’ve seen shorter solicitors’ letters.

There is no need for dangerous play of any kind & the RFL should be ruthless in policing what goes on on the pitch.

Expect Saints will appeal, think Ashworth’s is harsh.

Expect another "War& Peace" post from Saddened explaining why Percival has been victimised by being suspended and shouldn`t have been sent-off.

Agreed
