Rubbish. He played a few games with damaged tendons in his wrist. He would have played with most injuries just because he knows he's needed. Did not your own beloved Sinfield play with what was suspected to be a fractured cheekbone? So stop being stupid and admit what peanut head did was wrong.

As stated by the medic, rotator cuff damage directly due to the chicken wing tackle.

JJB is to appeal his 1 match ban tonight

Do you tackle or pass with yer cheekbone???

I hope he gets three instead.

So playing on had absolutely nothing to do with it????
Nor did it worsen by tackling or passing??

You haven't heard of potential for head clashes or bangs on the ground then? Had he been playing with that level of damage, he could have made it many times worse by the close of play.

Or do all those scrapes and bruises on players' faces at the end of matches just materialise?

Irrelevant. The damage was done by the twisting motion of the chicken wing.

Good job the RFL dont throw bans out every time a punch has been thrown.

Is it really???
Well having suffered shoulder injuries in the past i can tell you it's very relevant,especially in the tackle!!

I'd rather hoped Potter had stood him down for a week for his actions during the incident and especially his lack of sportsmanship after the final whistle.

Their are elements within the St Helens club at times who act like prima donnas and it needs nipping in the bud...... this isn't footie.

The only things that have kept players out of our matches have been injury or illness. And I think now the whole of our squad has been injured or ill this season, unlike last season when we hardly saw any injuries or illness. We've been thinking it's perhaps the change in conditioner (for the injuries anyway) as we had an alarming amount of injuries at one stage.

Yes, it's irrelevant. You may have had injuries but unless you are a medic you cannot comment upon the initial source of the injury. Jammer may or may not have exacerbated the injury by staying on the field but that doesn't change the initial diagnosis: injury to the rotator cuff as a direct result of the chicken wing tackle.

[iMcClennan added: "Kylie got his tackle technique wrong. There was no malice involved or intent. He apologised to James Graham, who didn't accept the apology – but that's how it was on the night."

Good player or not (and I think he is) that kind of proves he has issues.

So you are a medic then????????
As i was there when MY injuries were diagnosed i think i should know about them don't you??

There's only one way to educate Mr Graham. keep smacking him ion the face until he learns some sportsmanship.

I think the "Headline" says it all!! www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... elens.html

So what? Is Kylie going to be telling the truth? Remorse is one of the factors taken into consideration by the RFL when considering punishments. Therefore, Kylie apologising could be perceived as remorse, so it was a neat move by Kylie to apologise. Covered his own back.

And even if Kylie was sincere, why should Jammer accept his apology? This isn't cricket you know (mind you, there is sledging in cricket so even cricket no longer relies upon conventions of sportsmanship to tick along). There is nothing to say in sportsmanship that a rugby league player has to accept an apology for a bad tackle (whether unintended or not) from another rugby league player.

If Bluey is going to start a character assassination of Graham then he had better be careful. Calling people's professional reputations into question in print is a dodgy road to travel.

Think that might come sooner rather than later since he has now put a big bulseye on his chest with Fridays antics.

No, because they were your injuries. His injuries are not going to affect him in the way that yours affected you. I'm sure you have read about not taking other people's medicines even if the symptoms all look the same as the person offering the medicine to you? It really isn't rocket science, you know.

You aren't a medic. Therefore, your comments relating to Graham's injury are irrelevant.

Lovely.

Now, there's a real example of sportsmanship!

No i'm not but i'm also not buying the c##p that graham misses the dragons game just because of jjb's tackle when he played on for the rest of the match and tackled and passed as if nothing had happened.
I bet he'd be playing if it were the play-offs this week.

Why do you call him "Jammer"? It's far too close the slang term we used as kids for tampons (and I mean the huge furry things from days of old - not the space age micro sponges they use now).
Every time I hear the name "Jammer" I think of the time me and my mates found a huge, blood soaked one by the side of the road.

I'm surprised JJB is appealing, if I were in charge I'd think about increasing it just for his cheek, take the 1 match ban and accept it IMO.
