Hope for the sake of Luke Burgess you are wrong mate .

What's illegal about a clash of heads?



Really nasty injury, hope he's okay. Hopefully it teaches Webb to wear a gum shield



Oh and Lauititi's would have been a very dangerous tackle if the man wasn't slipping (as in, if he'd made that sort of contact on a player who wasn't falling over), unfortunately for both him and the Cas man, he caught him a bad one and I'm sure he'll have no case to answer.

Hope Lukes ok.

Very sloppy technique from Walker, I really hope Lukes ok, even if he doesn't make the final his well being should be paramount.
By far my favourite prop in Super League- He'll be coming to Wakie when I win the Euro Millions!!!!

(In my opinion that was a dangerous challenge)

Credit to vast majority of Cas fans who applauded Luke off the pitch.
Never doubted that they would do otherwise.

You would say that Sandal wild cat (in your opinion) it was shoulder to shoulder it happens every game

Its a contact sport ffs you really are a tool

Hope hes ok looked a bad one.....
Nice to see the cas fans clapping him off as well.....

Best of luck luke (THE DITCH) wire fan.

If you bothered to read what I actually wrote instead of scratching your head looking confused your poor little brain might have been able to keep up.

Just for the record I asked if a shoulder charge, without an attempt to wrap the arms around the tackled player was now illegal?

I await another head scratching response as the idea someone might mention something the SKY commentators and the general masses haven't discussed

Looked to be a broken jaw on Biffa. JP's looked v.serious too. Knee injury by the looks ok it.

awful looking collision.
99% of those look much worse than they are.
lets hope the poster who thinks he'll miss wembley is wrong, would be a great shame for him.

here's to a few stitches and a sore head, nothing worse.

We did nothing different to any other set of RL fans, Thats what makes our game so good! Respect for the blokes who entertain us

hoping jp is ok too

legend's like him belong at big stages like wembley.

the likes of morley vs jp at wembley is what this game is all about

That type of shoulder charge is not illegal in RL but it is in RU, precisely beacause of the potential for the sort of injury that Burgess has incurred tonight.
I think that the authorities need to look into this before somebody does suffer from a broken neck or a spinal injury that could result in a player spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
I fear that is the end of the season for Burgess.

Thanks for a sensible answer to my question - I knew I'd read something about it somewhere.

It's a hard one because everybody likes to see big hits and I guess 99 times out of 100 both players come out fine.

That's one hell of an impact from the kick off with 2 players having run flat out for 50 metres between them and takes very little for it to go wrong like it did tonight

Hmm slight disagree as Burgess also dropped his shoulder in to the tackle ? Its the game RL not the pom pom rar rar game .

Really dont think Luke will think it was a bad tackle.

And again hope he recovers ASAP quality player

Courtesy of Biffa himself:

Shoulder charge in RU is an automatic sin bin, one of the worst rules in the game.

Only saw it on the big screen and it looked like Burgess' head hit Walker's shoulder but I couldn't really tell - hope the lad's Ok - it looked real nasty.

Awful, his teeth seem lower to the right of his jaw.

Hope he's ok, had a fairly decent game!

Why?

Ouch bet hes not up for Frosties in the morning

Hope he recovers quickly and the damage is minimal.
No intent just 2 props going at it and the collision went wrong.
