Quote ="Early Bath"Ive been debating the Brough tackle with Jools all week.
This is what our coaches have said :-
Unfortunately, Mason Caton-Brown, who returned to the squad to replace Greg at Huddersfield Giants on Easter Monday has sustained a severe lower leg injury and will need surgery that will see him out for 8-12 weeks.
Mason sustained the injury from a forceful cannonball type tackle in the 52nd minute of the game on Monday, which has halted his return to first team games.
Head Coach Ian Watson said, ‘We’re disappointed that the tackle on Mason has been cited by the disciplinary but no further action has been taken. We have asked the RFL to look over the incident again and have been told there’s no case to answer.
‘Lots of coaches have raised the issue of cannonball type tackles and that they should be outlawed as they’re extremely dangerous and this is what’s happened here.
‘We’re not happy about it but we’ve got our hands completely tied and nothing more can be done. It’s disappointing as a young lad is now facing a long period on the sidelines at a time when he had a great opportunity to play first team games.’
On the incident, Director of Rugby Tim Sheens added, ‘While already being held by two other opposition players Mason is hit with a forceful cannonball style tackle to his lower legs.
‘Our priority is to look after the welfare of our players and these type of reckless and careless tackles should carry serious consequences.’
Unlike Rangi - No Ban but Baloo should `throw the book` at him in the view of the Salford coaches.'"
you haven't been debating the tackle with me all week- you came on here demanding I comment, but failed to come back when the judgement of an independent panel was given as no charge. When I commented as such on your board you made a misogynistic comment.
Haven't you got better things to be moaning about? Like housewives or something????
Koukash spends half his time complaining about the RFL so folk have stopped listening. Probably including them. Nothing to see here. Brough will be playing on Sunday.
You've got more to worry about than one player injured with 2 RFL investigations into the goings on at your club which are going to involve fines and potentially all your points.
No doubt you will be back on here in June - I'd like to say I'll be going to the return fixture but given the trouble caused by your fans at our last two meetings I think I'll keep my family safe and give it a miss.
