We're having a crackdown on alot of the crap that gets posted and getting rid of those who can't follow the rules and spirit we want the forum to be used in, so things should improve. And Tony Smith has created a new positive vibe.

No, can't recall what was in your sig - it'll have been automatically removed for being too large.

Tony IMO has done a great job in the limited time he has had with the squad. Dont forget, this was top v bottom. I dont think we faired that bad, some real silly errors cost us dearly, but if we play with that effort and commitment throughout the season, I think we'll be there or thereabouts come the end. Oh, my missus has returned, you're right about her being too large though !! Very therapeutic, almost hypnotic wouldnt you say??

THE HOOF

Ah - how could I forget!

has anyone by any chance got a vid of the fight?? i didnt go the game so i missed it? ta

JaMeS-LaD

well by a cursed coincidence, i took my 16mm cine cam with me but the stewards took it off me at the turnstile.

The (rlfans application of) irony.

It was. He put the player on his ar$e and then finished on top of him (as 2nd player) to complete the tackle.

There is no set criteria for certain technique for a tackle to be a tackle.

Starts to say 'Great tackle' before he gets down to Player on floor.

And a hand on Hall whilst he is on floor isnt a great tackle. Great hit by Morley i would accept.

It will go down on his tackle stats. The reason he is on the floor is because of the hit which is part of the tackle.

It's a tackle.

On a similar note, the bloke sat in front of me was saying that Morley was lucky to be penalised as he didn;t attempt to use his arms to tackle, despite this not being a rule in RL at all. This is a RU rule.

And the reason SBW was sin binned in his first Union game after running off to France.

As a said, it could be considered pedantic.

Or wrong.

I actually felt sorry for poor Hall


Impressed he held on to the ball!

Some piccys of the hit [url=http://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sport/wolves/wolvesnews/4188422.PICTURES__Morley_s_big_hit/here[/url

Also the highlights of the game are now on the Superleague website.

Not being funny but its not hard to smash someone like that when they've just caught the ball and are standing still. It was a good hit though.

So why doesn't it happen several times in every game?

right in front of me that. i felt it

Because most players know it constitutes a penalty. I could've put in that hit.

Just seen the vid.

OUCH!

no you couldnt, Ryan Hall is 6ft and you couldnt tackle an egg custard...

Morley Hit him Legally, ask Ben Westwood about illegal hits if your unsure...

I see more penalties on jumping full backs and wingers because the hitter gets giddy or is isnt very bright and hits them while they have two feet off the ground ...

Morley hit him bang on end of story...
like mentioned above why doesnt it happen every week.....OR maybe it does in the national leagues but we arent that pooh so we dont get to see it....

Looking at the footage Hall does seem a fair bit off the floor when Moz hit him.

I'd have a look at it again cock...Hall gets no more than a maximum of a foot off the ground at the highest point of his jump

so unless he's learned to Levitate like David Blane he's done well to travel across the ground without coming down.

then look at the in goal touch judge and the ref who are in perfect positions to rule it an illegal tackle...

I suggest you go to the saints site where they will tell you the only forward in the world that dishes out big hits is James Bomber Graham......

Whether he's a foot off the ground or a mile off the ground is irrelivent surley?

He pretty much hit him spot on as his feet were landing back on the ground. A penalty would never be given for that kind of tackle as there are inches (if anything) in it.

I'm also not 100% sure about the rules or ref's guidelines on this one. If it is at the other end, and you are going for a try, what is to stop you leaping off the ground to get over the line so the defence can't touch you? I'm not sure if this only applies when you are defusing a high kick, which Hall wasn't doing in this instance.

Good hit but I am more impressed by Hall getting the ball under pressure on his own try line and keeping hold of it.

The rules state:
