Tackle started at chest height but did go high, you see much worse every game but a penalty was a fair call.'"
Sam definately wanted to play on. If Sykes hadn't kept hold he would have been away after the hit, it was as though he didn't feel it. Couldn't believe what Thaler said when I watched it back. He is one tough hombre as Stevo would say, but I fear one day he will get hurt bad.

You know i can recall on many occasions during our glory years and wondered while playing your lot at odsal, why the rooley lane end was so sparce of the so called best supported team in the country, even when you where richest club in the world in the 80's and early 90's, you've just hit the nail on the head!

| Why on earth has this tackle got it's own topic? Sykes went in for the tackle, hit the chest, went high. Penalty end of. Sam Tomkins is allowed to get tackled. After seeing a few tries where has has just run round the entire team this season, Sykes obviously decided to try nail him fairly but ended up going high. End of. Penalty sufficient.
O'loughlin went high about 3 or 4 times in that match and went unpunsihed, there isn't an article on it.
Quote: "The second year they beat us at OT, my wife and I were on a tram afterwards with a shed-load of them and - to my surprise actually - they were far and away the most loutish, ignorant and intimidating bunch of RL fans I've ever had the misfortune to encounter. The bad old days at Leigh and Warrington had nothing on that bunch. Thanks to that experience, I feel no regret whatsoever that they've slipped to oblivion.'"
Sorry you had that experience but please don't tar us all with the same brush. Every team has idiots. I remember when you came to Wigan and a group of 20 came in twhere all the Bradford fans were to cause trouble. Doesn't mean your all like that.

I said the same last night. I remember when Wigan Vs Bradford was a massive game, and they used to fill that away end! Same with Leeds, but the past couple of seasons both teams have barely brought any fans.

You might find Wigan and Leeds sell their tickets rather than give then away ..... I seem to remember your support was historically so poor that they didn't just give free tickets out in bucket loads but they also used to have crowd chants played over the speak system. Mind you your ground is expensive considering its a rubbish tip

If anything that tackle sparked the Warriors into life. They were incensed, which resulted in the absolute hammering they then proceeded to hand out to the Bulls.

And quite right too. Leave the bent judiciary to their own weird devices.
Let justice be done the old-fashioned way.

| Aye. It looked to me like we were just happy to do enough to win before that tackle.
It was pretty clear after it though that we were determined to give the Bulls a kicking. I think Sam was instrumental for half the tries scored after that incident. Pretty amusing from where I was sat.

Not unrelated to this, there was a funny incident over on TotalRL, when some complete tw)t opened his live match commentary half an hour into the game with: "Is Sam Tomkins playing tonight?"
I love it when a smart gets smacked. ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif) Especially in public.

You know i've been given free tickets to go and watch Leeds at the shed and im more than sure Wigin also give away free tickets!

No they gave away free tickets to school kids (you know the future of the game) but they could only be used if the acompanied by a paying adult! A good financial policy if you ask me becouse those kids also bought team shirts and merchandise! Something im sure again Wigin have done

True, but it's better to share a rented house than to own an outside loo, if you know what I mean.
