| Quote FearTheVee="FearTheVee"If the roles were reversed and KC had done the same to Sam, he would have snapped his leg in two. The RFL realise this and have sent him a letter.
Fair enough.'"
 He tackled him around the legs. you see that tackle every game
the tackle wasnt complete and sam completed it. if the ref shouted held and he was late he would have got a pen against him. pathetic by the RFL seems some at HQ need to justify there wages |

I don't think you know what hindsight means.
The RFL realise that that type of attack to the standing knee of a tackled player is very likely to cause injury and so have sent him a letter.
If a player the size of Tomkins can cause someone the size of KC suspected medial ligament damage by attacking the standing knee once tackled, smaller players would pick up serious knee injuries every week.
FWIW I'm not sure he meant it, but it's to be discouraged, hence the letter. |

KC wasn't tackled as the referee had not called held, play was in progress.
If the Saints 9 had offloaded play would have continued.
KC could have taken the tackle but tried to continue, Tomkins tackled him.

He went in on the knee joint side on. Might have meant it might have not. Hence a warning. We don't want players of any team getting legs broken through that sort of tactic developing. Again, not saying Tomkins meant it but I suppose they may be trying to nip it in the bud before we get 2 player holding a man up and someone coming in on the knee from the side.
I remember Vila Matautia carrying the ball in and dipping really low at an opponents knee with his shoulder. Wasn't anything illegal about it but he got warned or maybe even banned. Suppose it comes down to spirit of the game |

IIRC he did Chris Chester with it and put him out for a while. No doubt the same people claiming total innocence were doing the same thing then... |

| Quote NickyKiss="NickyKiss"Unbelievable!
The ref hadn't called held so Tomkins did what anybody would do and stopped cunningham offloading the ball by taking him down to the floor.
Tomkins should send the warning letter back to the RFL telling them where to stick it!'"
On that basis, next time can we hold up Tompkins in the tackle so that Cunningham can smash into his knees "against the joint". If the leg gets broke then it will be OK, as its a nothing tackle. |
