| I wonder if Wilkin has ever ruptured his Achilles whilst taking the ball in?
Glad Kevin Brown said he did the same thing as Griffin. That said, if Wilkin was made of chocolate, he’d eat himself.

Sorry Rider you play to the whistle
Griffin didnt lose the ball he threw it away
If this incident had been the other way round we as Hull fans would all be saying the Hull player was correct in picking up the loose ball and scoring the try.

I think the only way anyone could criticise Josh Griffin for the incident is if they themselves have held on to the ball after rupturing an achilles tendon whilst in possession during a game of rugby league.

The problem with applying spirit of the game is that we could end up like football with players rolling all over the pitch in agony to stop the game and give the team a rest especially if defending only to get up again and start playing as though nothing happened.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |
|
| Players have always called for referees to stop play when someone is (badly) injured.

| It was immediately obvious Griff had done his achillies, as he went down in screaming in agony unchallenged.
Fages, could have just picked the ball up and paused and waited for the whistle, however in the middle of the semi final you can understand him scoring the try.
However, after the try, there was sufficient time for Saints Coach/Captain to decide to give Hull a walk in try to balance out the incident. Similar to Bielsa’s call with Leeds United v Aston Villa the other season. They chose not to.
Sad thing is, if Saints win at Wembley no one else but us will think about this incident. The headlines will just be Saints win at Wembley for the first time since 2008.

I think you misunderstood me, play to the whistle is exactly what I’d expect any player to do, my query is, was that said whistle blown early enough, considering Josh’s obvious pain and discomfort.
As for throwing the ball away, he was probably in excruciating pain, and any actions in that situation would be far from normal.
Just hope Griff recovers well, he was looking good just before that incident, a right hammer blow for him.

| I've not read back 23 pages so I I don't know if this has been mentioned.........
Spin back a minute or so before "the" incident and you will see a Hull player (pretty sure it was Griffin!!) tackling Makinson and deliberately twisting his ankle when the tackle is completed (the ankle injury he is just recovering from!) - the surrounding Saints players appeal to the ref about the deliberate foul play and Makinson is clearly unhappy with the tackle....... if we are talking about "playing fair" then we should all look at the complete picture - no Saints player caused Griffin's injury - a Hull player (probably Griffin) deliberately tried to injure Makinson - if we are going to get all sanctimonious about Fages being unsporting what about Griffin a minute before????

You need undoubted proof to say someone DELIBERATELY twisted a players ankles to injure him, now jog off.

well he certainly wont play again this season
Throwing the ball away was an observation not a criticism as people were saying he dropped the ball or spilled the ball

I recall seeing something. Happened in the first half. Think Swift was in the tackle too. Makinson certainly didn’t look happy after the tackle.

| ... not to worry, the disciplinary will ban him for the rest of the season and everyone will be happy.
