Quote: Paul Youane "Paul Wood took exception to (I think) Logan Tomkins doing this type of thing the other week.

Either way Cummins should take it up through the correct channels if he has a problem. I'm sure Wane has learnt this after his whinge last season accusing other clubs of illegally targetting Tomkins.'"


Isn't that exactly what Cummins did? He launched an official complaint with the RFL, I'm pretty sure that's the most 'correct' channel there is.
As for the comments reported in the press, not ideal but the papers will always be after a story. As evidenced by Wane's recent retort.

Quote: Grimmy "Why get involved? The RFL have already dismissed the case, all Wane has done there is draw more unwanted attention to our tackling technique. I'm not saying the refs would create penalties that aren't there, but if a borderline tackle of this type occurs, things like this could subconsciously influence them.'"


In fairness to Wane, he knew nothing about it until told in yesterday's press conference. Sounds like it was surprise more than anything else.

Agree with most of what's been said here.

Bitter whining.

I see this reared its ugly head again last night. It's awful to watch and only a matter of time until somebody is really hurt. The RFL need to get a grip of it.

No because I feel the RFL are weak when it comes to it. It's obvious that coaches and players see how dangerous it is but the RFL don't. That's because most of them have never played the game and don't understand.

Be honest, taking all bias away, do you genuinely see nothing wrong with the technique?

As per my comment on your other post, there's nothing wrong with the tackle at 17:15 on the clock. Can you highlight the others for review?

So I take it you've played the game then to a high level?
And that gives you the right to be judge and jury on something you haven't by your own admission watched again?

Well done on that eusa_clap.gif

As both the Match Review Panel and Disciplinary Panel include ex-players we can safely put this excuse to bed.

Well done on that
Yeah I've played the game at a decent level and I understand how dangerous these challenges are. It's only a matter of time until the RFL understand too.
