Quote ="The Speculator"I agree with you that it was at the lower end of the scale. However, there was still absolutely no need for him to be sliding in with the knees, and such actions need to be clamped down on. What was he hoping to achieve by doing that? He was never getting to Thewlis before he touched down, so it was in no way an attempt at a tackle. Therefore I'm struggling to think of any reason why he went in knees first other than to deliberately hit Thewlis.'"
I wonder if Dupree didn't get a ban, as there's a serial offender when sliding in with the knees is concerned, who plays for Catalans and is the poster boy for the RFL/Sky.
