For a man trying not to sound bitter, Wellens appears to be failing quite spectacularly. Asiata appears to have mowed down the Saints team single handedly, by tackling big men round the legs. Several teams have deployed this technique against Walmsley and he goes down like a sack of spuds.
Saints seem to be against anything that stops them being the dominant team in the league.

| Quote: RogerMoore "What do you expect? The league has said in no uncertain term there is nothing wrong with the tackle.'"
Yet Wellens has brought the game into disrepute by accusing the RFL failing to protect player welfare.
Now there are videos showing Stain players committing similar tackles in the game against Leeds.
HTH James.

| I'm sure Asiata will carry on regardless but it does put him and the refs in a bit of a bind. Some 23 or so matches into the season and suddenly one player is the focus because of one match, or rather the over reaction to the fall out of one match.
You can't change how you naturally* tackle, if you do then that means clearly you think there was something wrong with it, carry on with it and you will be scrutinising to within an inch of existence and the refs too will continually have flies buzzing around them after every attempt.
*I say naturally, in the nearly two season of watching John at Leigh I've never noticed anything wrong with it, it is the way of the tackle, sometime you go for the ball, sometimes the hips and sometimes the legs, all the while gauging who else is in the tackle and how the opponent is moving. Then you end up with posts like this, being overly analytical and removing the joy from the actual physical contest on the field.

| I think it just needs putting to bed now. There's nothing wrong with his tackling. He goes for the shins rather than the upper leg. It's not Asiata's fault that they are tall, heavy blokes who, when they fall, may land heavily on their knees. It's rugby not tick and pass.
