Quote: orford_addict "Yes.....the term is used to define any leg tackle from the side when a player is already held (momentum stopped) in the standing position......

The technique is banned in the NRL because of the potential career threatening injury risk from knee or ankle (aka Ratchford's injury) ligament damage and the RFL are looking at banning here also in 2014

Hansen isn't a dirty player and am sure it wasn't malicious'"


I think you need to look the definition of leg, side and momentum.

Hansen hit the hip/lower back from behind and Ratchford was still attempting to push forward (tackle was not complete). In no way was it a cannonball tackle, hence why he was cleared.

I'm glad he's got given a token gesture of a one game ban. I'm an England fan and I want him playing for us against the Aussies.

It highlights what a joke it is that domestic bans carry over to international matches.

Advantage to Australia.

He's an embarrassment.

A player who gets a ban should serve it against the team he offended.
Westwood should miss the next Wigan v Warrington fixture.

The game has moved on from part time players in full time employment and the disciplinary system needs to move along with the times.
SL players are contracted men, Westwood is under contract for next year so there should be no issue with the ban being enforced on him next season.

It shouldn't interfere with Internationals anyway as the precendent was set by the Aussies.
When we arrived in Brisbane in '94 for the WCC Andreew Gee was in the middle of a eight match ban. The Broncos appealed it for the Wigan game saying it was an (then) ARL fixture in which he offended and the ban was for ARL games not International ones like v Wigan.
Their appeal was successful and Gee played.
This really does need sorting out!

Quote: Deano G "An astonishingly good question, which our friends from Warrington have no answer to.

I've not watched the highlights yet but from what I saw it did look bad. I'm not saying Westwood's wasn't and he should have been sent off, but hey ho. That's how games go and karma was dished out so I think justice has been served icon_cry.gif

Back to the Ratchford injury, As I saw it, it did look like it was the legs but as many others have seen from the replays it was the hip/lower back. Whether it is the leg or not, I do think a late tackle anywhere below the waist should carry a penalty. If you hit the lower body in that situation the result 9/10 times will be a bad leg injury. even though he was pushing for progress I would still call it as late as he was barley moving, tackling the legs at that force when is basically stationary is a bit out of order but no doubt the tempers were flying. on the pitch we have no idea what the players are saying to each other. It's part of the game and players should expect it. BUT! As stated above it isn't illegal in superleague so Hansen wouldn't face a ban at all.

However I do think if the rule was in place then something may have been said. That's the basic point. For me it was a tad late, and a potential career ender. That's why they should be looked at more closely, that's all. Not trying to make excuses or make us seem like a team of angels because I know we are far from it. In a Wire Vs Wigan final what did we all expect? I for one am glad to see a bit of biff back in the game.

Its a hard game and these things happen, we were well beaten and I think you may have won anyway (Or the result will have been would have been tight) even with Joel ans Steph on the pitch. We went to sleep in the second half, had poor discipline and that's all there is to it.

As good as it is for England, it really does highlight the lunacy that is the RFL.
