With all due respect.

You want to ban tackling round the legs
Top idea.

| If he wasn't so heavy, there probably wouldn't have been as much pressure on his joints to begin with. The tackle wasn't illegal, but then, neither were the ones that Lima got punished so harshly for earlier in the season.

| Called it at the time, "game changer" Wire where on top, we needed something and this tackle changed it. I could not go for various reasons but as soon as I saw Smith shaking his head it confirmed my feelings. We needed to stop him, as his short spell was having an impact. The tackle was legal as Coley hit around the thigh. It worked!

Maybe I have interprited your post wrong but IMO at the speed of a rugby league game there is no way that the legal tackle from Coley had any intent whatsoever to cause injury to Solomona..

| This constant carping of Wigan's tackling technique is getting boring!
For Gawd's sake Slobamona is so unfit he's probably had a bath lift fitted by Social Services to get him into the team bath
Pity the Wires fans didn't stay till the end .... they missed O'Loughlins try and the chance to thank their team for their CC exploits over the past two years. Silly me its only Wigan fans who do the "Walk" of course

Said he same thing myself. He was causing us problems and the injury slowed their momentum. We got a penalty just after and they never had the same level of continuous pressure again after that.
Watched the game back and I can't see too much wrong with the tackle. Mossop got him up top and Coley squeezed his legs together to stop him. Even Kear said nowt wrong with it. Just unfortunate for Solomona and wire and the change of momentum for us.

I'm drunk so who knows, I'm struggling to understand what I wrote. All I'm trying to say is, I called at the time, Solomona was tackled and was injured, it was a game changer. Tony Smiths reaction confirmed my feelings and so it proved. No way did Coley go in with the intention of injuring the player. I tried to stress this by saying he hit around the thigh. It was a tackle that changed the flow of the game.

| I getting increasingly fed up with other coaches/supports moaning simply because we do something better than they do.
Boring robotic rugby? do any of these people watch us play? And now the tacking technique? It's legal effective and precise. Whatever next? We'll be banned from playing Pat on the wing because he's called Pat, and that offensive to postmen nationwide.
