I apologise if there has been another thread elsewhere, and please don't ban me for starting a thread (pls don't gloat on here Wigan fans) but I just wondered people's opinions on the tackle. Personally I didn't see anything at all wron with it (unlike an earlier tackle which was third man on etc). Two men in the tackle, one high one low. But evidently your coach didn't see it the same, and made some comments which I thought were below him.

Again, apologies if there is another thread on this.

2 men in the tackle, one high, one low, as i've said before, if coley didnt go for the legs, he could have made another 10 meters. obviously the weight of coley could have been the killing blow, but fair and in the rules for me, just the "wrong time of day" moment. If it was deacon instead of coley it could have been different etc, one of them things. Hope he gets better and its not a serious injury.

It's a tough one to call... its been going on in the game for a long time. When I was in school we got taught one man to get around the body to stop an offload and the other grabs the legs to stop the man moving. SL teams use it every game, hell most even have 3-4 in the tackle now. It's just one of those unfortunate things, it can be awkward because the player can fall to the ground in a dodgy way. However, it is legal... a few weeks ago there was another awkward one, can't remember who but a player grabbed the legs and he fell backwards where he could of done a serious injury (Eddie mensioned it). Not sure much can be done about it, it was a shame for wire that it happened to be the player that was changing the game... Solomona was running riot down that left hand side and he ran over Charnley.

Was it in the Catalan/Leeds game? or hull/leeds?

I seen it happen alot to be fair, I don't think it's something that Wigan do intentionally.

The look on Coley's face was enough.

Lets hope he isn't too badly hurt. Really made a difference when he came on & we seemed to drop when he went off

It was a perfectly decent tackle. A lighter player, or solomona himself could have hit the deck and just carried on.

Who knows why he was injured, angle of fall, strength of tackle, weight, age, flexablity, conditioning, hardness of ground, etc etc etc.

It's just a random event, the only way to do any thing about it is to make the sport none contact and tag rugby, would just not be the same for me.

The RFL have lots of rules about what tackles are allowed and what are not, but in the end people choose to play and legitimate tackles should not have any fussy made about them. Sympathy for the players injury, but the tackle was fine.

I don't know what TS saw that others didn't,t, it seemed an OK tackle to me. The only possible cause of the injury was that Coley clamped the legs/knees together to bring him to ground whilst the other Wigan player was on the upper body.
This type of tackle is ok if you surrender to it, maybe Solomona tried to twist out of it which created the injury, only Solomona will know.

I think the RFL need to ban that type of tackle where you have an orthodox one upstairs and one downstairs, the 2 Wigan players involved should get at least a 5 game ban as well.

This type of tackle is happening every week in SL where you get one upstairs and one downstairs, its slowly been creeping into the game for over 100 years now.

Yeah. I didnt see a prob. It's RL and twists in the tackle can happen. I didnt see any malice. Just unfortunate.

I'd have another look at it, If I hadn't walked in and hit delete before I'd even shut the front door.
