According to Tony, Ben will have to be sent to a London hospital tonight following an unnecessary style of tackling. Ruptured hamstring.

The one where his legs were opened? Nothing in that at all, they had no idea where his other leg was, they were just trying to get him on his back to slow the play the ball. A complete accident.

Why a London hospital? Whats wrong with BUPA down the road?

It was deliberate and snide no need for it

According to Tony, it's nasty. He also said that it is something that has been brought to the attention of the league

If that is wrong, there is going to be hundreds of players banned every week. If I could be bothered I could probably find 20 times where Warrington lifted a single leg tonight, it happens all the time as defenders try to turn players and dump them on their derrier.

It was so bad that the referee gave saints the put in at the resultant scrum.

You can't be bothered to find Warrington lifting etc, but you can be bothered to constantly troll on this board.

Go away.... or change your name to 'Obsessed' if you continually find the need to litter our forum.

Troll? What have I done that even remotely approaches that? I've not posted on here in ages up to the game thread about this weeks game.

Nothing in it for me Saints are not a dirty team purely accidental

Don't get what Smith is trying to achieve here by complaining about it? Is he hoping to get someone banned for it? I'm not sure on what grounds you could ban someone for it - it was an unfortunate accident that you don't like to see.

Wish Evans the best in recovering.

Player goes down in agony and naturally releases the ball. Ref calls knock-on and a few plays later Saints score...typical

So every time a player loses the ball in a tackle he claims injury and is forgiven his sins. Oh dire you are really scrapping the bottom of the barrel. Mind you Ashton is very close to wigin so real logic flies out the window.

Yeah, cos Ashton is full of Saints fans too

If it happened to a Saints player, there would be hell to pay. But otherwise, yeah, it's a fine tackle.

We lost Lomax, Percival & Flanagan to serious injury at Wakefield. Not every tackle that results in injury is down to foul play. Watched the incident countless times & it's a tackle you see hundreds of times week in week out. Good news he's a young lad & will hopefully recover fully & quickly.

That incident looked awful.I hope that the kid is ok

If he was stood up then it wouldnt have been bad but he was on the floor and it was a snide trick from him

Aye they are the clever ones.

dead right just an unfortunate injury...if you want to start penalising teams for things like that turn to football....

From what I've read of Smiths words on it. He says that the tackle technique is known to the league, not that he has reported this particular tackle. But hey-ho, you guys love a good "we're the victim here" story.

What type of tackle though? A one leg lift? It's not dangerous. It's an unfortunate accident that his stable leg got trapped with the front man - but it's just that an accident.

If we banned every type of tackle that might lead to an accidental injury we'd be playing tag rugby. No victim mentality in that, just genuine confusion in what he's hoping the outcome of those comments will be ...
