Yep and people go on and on about the Storm but Manly spear tackled Greg Inglis 3 times on the weekend and Not one player went to the Bin. Spear Tackle the shittest act in Rugby and the most concerning.
Come one now, the Storm are the biggest ****s in the game for trying to hurt people. Brain snaps and calculated manouvres are a tad different, albeit the same outcome. I think they need to come down hard on ****s doing **** liek that.
Thats only what NSW Rugby wants you too see. CONSPIRACY. Slater's fair catch had more people crying foul than what Faásoo and his two spear tackles has had. good
Source and whats that in pounds? He earns £300k basic a year @ Wigan. I think he would be probably be looking to earn £500k a year in the NRL.
Well done Souths, won a good hard battle. Richie Fa'aoso is a liability - I hope he gets 10 weeks, Manly don't need that sort of player in their ranks. Ex-Storm player, 'nuff said. Matai's hit on Fat Georgie Burgess was legit - his arm hit FGB on the upper chest area and dislodged the ball, unfortunately his arm them bounced up into FGB's jaw - no intent but fair enough penalty. Sam Burgess is a tool - throwing punches at Foran instead of going for Matai - Matai went straight to check FGB on the ground then changed directions when he realised Sam was throwing punches at his Kiwi teammate. Matai got Sam good 3rd man in 2 tackles later - the pommy git was all over the place in his efforts to let Matai know it hadn't hurt him Symonds scored a try - that decision was shocking - he went to the video for Souths previous try but ruled it a try before referring it and it was more damning than the obstruction he referred to the video in Symonds' try - only difference was he ruled Symonds' a no try before referring it - 12 point turnaround...stupid system. Anyhoo, good to see Gifted Stewart back on board, just needs a bit of match fitness.
I don't think either faaoso tackle was that bad. not good of course but always on the cards when you get a tall, top heavy, lanky guy running at a short stocky bulldozer type.
Inglis has perfected a way to be tilted in a dangerous position , been watching the tackles in slow mo and he bends down into the tackle and when his leg is picked up he hops with his other leg which causes his body to fall head first, not a bad strategy to get his team penaltys but I feel slightly for the tackler as yes they contribute to it but Greg helps it along, I'm sure it will happen to Greg alot in the season.
Yeah but the rule of not being allowed to put your hands between a players legs and lifting in a tackle is there for this very reason - top heavy players tend to cartwheel once they're up in the air and are in motion, as Inlgis did on Friday night. I think its fair enough, we don't want anyone ending up in a wheelchair for life, so I think duty of care is on the tackler to keep it as safe as possible.
yeah im not arguing with him being penalised. whether its deliberate or not he technically did the wrong thing. but these calls for 10 weeks etc are ridiculous. 2 would suffice, 3 at a stretch
totally agree but Inglis still shouldnt be jumping off the ground to help it happen. regardless of how it helps his team its dangerous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBPktyEoyMM 0:44 Watch Gregs right leg, he clearly leaps up, watch gregs right leg in slow mo as he jumps up to help himself get into a dangerous angle. you can even see him lift his left leg up for inu to grab lol. not saying inu is innocent cos his not, but Greg is assisting it and he did it against manly multiple times. 4-5 spear tackles in 1 game against the same guy? something is fishy
I dunno, twice in one match - he should have been sent off IMO, and I'm a Manly fan. I won't be unhappy if he gets 10 weeks. Yeah, but you don't think Inglis is actually doing it on purpose in the hopes he gets spear-tackled to get a penalty for his team do you? I mean, I don't like This content is protected or Inglis but no one deserves to be put in a position where they could be paralysed for life because a bloke can't adjust his tackling style to fit in with the rules of the game.
