And I still don't think Solomona got that ball down for his 'try'.

Feeling kinda proud

He got it down easily.... you should have gone to specsavers.

IIRC the Beeb commentary (Kear) referred to the tackle 'pinching/bring the knees together' but then went on to say it's a perfectly legal type of tackle to prevent further leg drives.

FFS, when I was taught to use a 2 man tackle it was always one high, one low. No attacks to the knees as that's cowardly.

The Beeb stated a twist to the knee, chances are that happened as Solomona went down, not as a direct impact of the tackle impact itself.

Just seen the incident and what the hell was the pointy nosed twitching idiot shaking his head at? If that's now an illegal tackle the games done for.

Maybe he was just shaking his head saying 'I told him he needed to lose some weight before his knees buckled'.

Well I must have made it up then !



Solomona got held up. I have checked the coverage and it doesn't show him get the ball down at all.

Ok I will repeat, nip to specsavers in the morning, then watch the tape back, you may then see he clearly got the ball down.

Rubbish. You are saying Wigan are deliberately setting out to injure players by attacking joints. Complete and utter rubbish.

Tackling a player "high and low" is how the game is played and has been for decades. Solomona's injury was bad luck. Nothing else. Watching it live I thought he was concussed because his head hit the ground a bit hard not that his knee was done because I could not see anything else to worry about. And that isn't bias it is EXACTLY what I thought at the time.

Smith was OK after match on the BBC in complimenting us on the attacking play maybe because he'd look a bit if a tit if he didn't after he pre-match comments but he should have left it at that.

Dave he actually praised Wigan attacking play in his pre-match interview as well....

It was the comments in the press prior to today I was on about so perhaps I should not have said pre-match comments. Those comments in the press implied (well to me at least) he was having the seemingly de-rigour dig at Wigan's tactics as being negative.

What do you think of my view on the tackle?

I have already said on the wire board that the tackle was perfectly fair.... Solo was moving forward with one man up top, so Coley had no choice but to dive at his legs.

Fair enough. I rarely venture onto other boards so have not seen that.
