I agree, but you can take the phrase "do a job" on a number of levels. A very tiny and sad minority would actually wish injury on players who put their body on the line every week for our entertainment.

That said, everybody enjoys to see a big hit on the opposition if there's no damage other than to the player's pride. You regularly get threads celebrating such bit hits, eg Aizue on Wheeldon. You can't tell me you wouldn't have a right laugh if Clinton put Yeaman on his @rse in front of the Craven Park East Stand. In much the same way we would if Lauaki put in a robust challenge on Ben Cockayne.

Im amazed anyone dares to tackle Cockayne, given the extreme violence he is capable of.

The thing that really annoyed me with that Aizue and Wheeldon shot was that Wheeldon got his revenge but nobody talks about that. Both great hits and the personal battles for me are one of the reasons what makes this sport so great. If I had the energy I would show them both and then have them shaking hands at the end of the game in a video on youtube.

you sure it was ian morrison ???

Glenn Morrison....last match last season.....Morrison sh@t his pants when Lauaki went for him........

thats him ian morrison played for widnes

i would'nt say he sh@t his pants tho, if i remember they was a scuffle thats all, don't know which game you was watching???

Laukai went for him and he went backwards quicker than the italian army......got sin-binned as well off the 1st tackle from resulting peanalty.

Saw 2/3 kr players bounce of Moa



Think the kr supporters singing 'you fat bathplug' did the trick

How do you people view your new hardmen the 'Tongan Mafia'?

Took at least 3-4 men to put each of them down, usually with one of them ending up on their backside.

Think they did well, actually.
