Luke Robinson was on Radio Leeds at the weekend describing the wrestling techniques employed by the Wigan players. He was particularly concerned by a technique called ankle locks which he said was very painful. He went on to say that they specifically target ankles, knees and elbows.

This was off that thread add another to that list

The dwarf has only been back 2 mins and spouts crap any chance he gets

Why not just play tick and pass and have done wi it, i've yet to see anyone injured by Wigans tackling, they was hurt damn sight more in the old days when owt above grass was allowed.

Eddie will soil himself if a Wigan player gets binned for any of these offences on Friday

I smell a Heathrington.

You'd think we have The Rock and Hulk Hogan playing in our back row from the sounds of some these moaners!
Wigan have a defensive tactic to put an extra man into the tackle to control the ruck and slow the PTB down.
It works effectively, apart from Lima's chicken wing at MM I can't remember any other occasion this year when undue pressure has been put on an opposition player more so than every team does!
Either adopt the tactic yourselves or accept that your defense won't be as good as Wigan's!

As per the text I sent you yesterday!
"Apparently" it was a very interesting meeting but seemed like there were a few agendas on the cards!

The thing about being "in the know" is that you publicise it a lot, without publicising anything.

So it appears all these tackle tactics are now to be considered as foul play. Players committing this type of foul play are to be sin binned.

Has anyone told them that players can't be sin binned for foul play?
They are making it up as they bloody well go along!
Beggars belief it really does!

So how many rules are they changing now then? We must deduce from this, that from now on players can be sin binned for foul play. Is it all aspects of foul play or the ones just listed from their recent meeting?

In the Hull game two players should have been sin binned for fighting, they weren't and it caused a riot leading to a player being sent off. That was a complete and utter shambles.
So where do we go with this? Every team down to 11 or 12 by 15 mins into the game?

As I replied in my text to Jukesays last night. Will they be as keen on the head high tackle or will that be just a penalty?

I guess we'll have to wait and see.
