Quote: Phuzzy "I still disagree Egg. If you're swinging your entire weight on someone, you know there's a risk of injury to that person. I really can't see how a player would suddenly forget that.
If you believe that to be the case, how can you say that someone deciding to swing an arm or throw a punch will not forget in much the same way? Doesn't make any sense. Either both are culpable or neither are, surely?'"
I'm in no way saying it's a good tackle, I just don't think Knowles has gone out to hurt him or that the thought even crossed his mind. He's simply trying to tackle him and stop him making further yards.
You shoot out the line to put a big hit in your intention is to hurt (not injure) that player. It's the gladiatorial aspect we all love.
Don't think I mentioned punches BTW
