And like a lot of things kids are told, thats a completely useless rule. Go check it. its not taught anymore.

Indeed. You obviously clearly don't understand what constitutes a held player. Here's a tip, if the player is still moving and the ref hasn't called
held, as what happened with Clarkson, he isn't held.

HTH.

He was not standing. HTH

And you are just totally missing the point, but never mind I knew I wouldn't get any sense from anyone on this forum. You can carry on with your pathetic arguing over your teams excellent tactics and every other teams cheating to be able to compete with you (that's sarcasm if you didn't get that either).

Bye

FFS - have you got a gold fish memory or something - I was replying to your own post where you said...

Ok bad choice of wording on my part he was not "Held" but he was "held" - i.e. he had two players holding onto him so was unaware and vunerable to the player coming in with the cheap shot from the side....now please try and re-read my post again without being minded to misinterpret my point on technicalities.

"Held" = as in ref calls held, tackle over.
"held" = being held onto (i.e. "held" in the same respect as Mozza was (i.e. defenseless) when Cassidy lost the plot and tried to break his jaw)

I have read page 1 of this thread and can't be A**** reading anymore, but i can't for the life of me see why Lima is being castigated , every lad who plays RL from U7's is told 'tackle round the legs' , even if a player is held by 2 defenders if his legs are free tackle him to prevent him driving forward, it's one of the first things kids are taught..Lima went into the tackle to prevent a player moving and ended up being sin binned, what a F****** joke

Don't worry about it - it's the fad of the new season. No doubt the brainchild of some jobsworth at the RFL.

Like all the previous ones, they'll persist with it for a few weeks, then gradually realise how unworkable it is and casually start to forget about it.

In the meantime of course, the likes of Lee Briers, Jon Wilkin and the entire Leeds team will try to milk it for everything they can.

Just been told it was actually a wigan player who was the 2nd gunman on the grassy knoll.

For the jobsworth read Mrs and Mrs H.
I believe Mrs H has now officially complained about last nights referee.
Their pillow talk must be something to behold.

I've eaten today - will you stop it please.
