IMO we're not dirty enough.

Or his text could be taken the other way that he meant if they were the same ie as bad not worse!!

Plus when as Sean O’Loughlin been charged with it??




Quite possibly the same as JJB gets for running in! Which is the same as Tansey a few week ago! Nowt!
Your right Tomkins should have done a McGuire and stayed down!!

In reply to the OP. No every team needs to have players that are physical and intimidating! Its the game! Sometimes these incidents occure because the game is physical and if they are punished correctly then that is fine! Its the deliberate attempts to injure players but these are very few and far between!!

Oooh..get her!

Yes you are right about the deliberate attempts though. Thankfully we have not seen a deliberate attempt for a while now and that includes Friday night.

Correct!! Ablett was reckless/careless not deliberate still doesnt excuse Ganson not showing a red after being told it was contact with the arm to the head!!

It was, in the eye of the people that count, the review panel, a RECKLESS tackle as it was grade c offence. It was not Careless/Reckless... that does not exist as an offence!

Told by Whom?

Was that just before Robinson winked at O'Loughlin?

The wigan fannys behind the sticks who were all frothing at the gash at the time

Call me oldfashioned but im with G1 on this. I like us to be dirty and a little bit more for me.

I liked it better when all the other teams complained to the RFL about us being too rough for them.

You mean like young Tomkins recent attack on Cunninghams legs whilst he is held in the tackle.....



A Wigan player tried the exactly the same thing on Friday night on JJB.

Dirty barstewards

Anyone who saw the end of Halifax - Widnes game at the Shay on Thursday will understand the point.

Fortunately the full-time professional players were somewhat more restrained in their actions than the semi-pro bretheren. Had it kicked off in a similar fashion the initial challenge would have paled by comparison.

There is no place in SL for players taking the law into their own hands.

not quiet sure what G1 means but we do need more fair aggression in the collision a bit more umph.

I agree. When Joelene went unnecessarily wading in, our pack should have sorted matters instead of the football-esque pushing and shoving which ensued.

Leeds really missed Ian Kirke on Friday.

Wigan wouldn't have dared start anything if he'd have been out there, not even Deacon.

Phil Bentham?

Totally agree.

Further to this, dirty doesn't just mean penalties and daft going-on.

It's about getting your hands dirty in the tackle.

It's an area we have not made the most of this year. Far too soft in the tackle.

No velocity at all in this area. We need to re-ignite the killer instinct.

If a player slips and falls - smash 'em. Not just nicely fall on them so they are tackled. Let's give teams some grief again.

I'm hoping this is an area we will crank up starting this week.

Do you have a glass coffee table?

The video referee. Andy Coley's red card against Catalans came after James Child recieved advice from the video ref of the severity of the challenge. Ganson recieved advice on Friday yet decided to ignore it and place the incident on report instead

yes , you are a dirty team you have gone from being a very entertaining team to a team of thugs,and i don't know why when you look at the talent in the team.

That settles it then.

IMO your not a dirty team you may have a few players who are right on the edge of physical/dirty as do most teams but you play top class rugby. Dirty team no, hard physical team yes.

We are not dirty just RECKLESS
