Didn't say he was. As long as a shoulder charge is legal, it can be a thing of beauty. If it's late or an attack to the head then it can also be very dangerous. Much like most aspects of our sport.

Out of interest who would you have replaced Tommy with, or handled the situation differently?

Mmmmm
I wonder who one of those people who said moving players out of position and not using a like for like replacement and it cost us the game was?

I think we have lost a few players over the last couple of years, where we haven't been replaced with 'like for like' .

I think Wane made a huge 'boo boo' of placing that young lad in, in the semi/play offs instead of possibly Pat Richards.

I still don't think the lad has recovered. He was inexperienced, it was not really his fault.

Like people have said Wane can't win. Replacing Tommy with Lockers rather than throwing in a young kid was the wrong decision and on the other hand not playing Pat at fullback and picking a like-for-like young replacement in Murphy was also the wrong decision.

ATEOD Wane has shown if he thinks a player is ready to step up he'll pick them. Look how many debuts he's given in the last 2 years!
