I hope the RFL look at the tackle then ended his game tonight, if you can get banned for throwing a punch or catching someone high then surely this tackle 'technique' should cost you a ban ?

Tony held by 3 players, not moving forward (accepting the tackle) when in comes a shi*house as 4th man and cleans Tony's knees out. No need for it and a clear attempt to injure a player IMO

Ratkins is just a nasty cheap shot merchant, it clouds the fact he has a massive amount of talent. Shame really.

yeah that one time he did a dodgy tackle that only saints fans have dragged up since a similar incident put them in a position to lose to wigan has really ruined his reputation. lol.

Has any one looked at sky sports what brown has had to say

Because that was the only time he's ever used nasty or cheating tactics wasnt it , clown. Has your tiny brain forgotten his locking arm tactics to cheat penalties ? ....

Not really bizarre. It's an issue with the knee joint, which doesn't have muscle to protect it (like the thigh does) and which doesn't have any give in it when hit from the side. I think also it has to be a hit side on to the knee when the leg is straight for a penalty to be given as that is when the knee is most vulnerable as it is at its least flexible. The thigh, however, has loads of muscle around it to protect the bone from impact.
