and the rest is history, i'll be reading it in the fish and chip paper this week, it seems its you lot that cant get over the fact it was a late tackle which it was,,,,, so what! let the powers that be sort it, oh they have it was such an assault hes been given a caution, the kid took the blow played it to the max, as a professional player should and got on with the game, the get out the kitchen remark is to the pathetic fans who make a mountain out of a mole hill.

It was.

I thought he was just signalling '2'

It didn't look to me as though he was giving the V sign.

Sam is obviously a target because without him Wigan wouldn't be as good. The shoulder charge to his head was extremely late and deserved a one match ban. I have never condoned dirty players from Wigan and was pleased when Newton left.

Around the same time as Sam got the cheap shot, there was to me a bit more of a hint of gouging in the tackle by a Cas player.

I didn't record the game. Did anyone else notice this ? To me that was worse than the hit on ST.

I thought it was just another high tackle.

I hate to see how pent up you get about Wigan "cheating" you out of the superleage.

Get off your high horse sugar, you'll get a nose bleed. The issue is that YOUR fans were accusing Sam of faking it and taking a dive!!!!!

I think it's because when a late challenge is committed on a kicker, he's usually either on one leg or in the air, so the risk of injury is greater.

I see what you are saying if thats the rule then fair enough but is absolute garbage you are in a relaxed position regardless an injury is just as likely wether a kick or pass has just been made, you are vulnerable either way, especially if the late hit is around the head.

was nothing in it...being blown out of proportion

Correct it is a contact sport after all Sam made no big deal about it so he must have thought it was fair. It was no different than the hit Feca did on the Graham last year.

just watched the game again apparently in the last couple of minutes of the game when fielden was on the ground you can see piggy alledge that Terry Matterson ran on the pitch in a Cas stip and pull out Fieldens spine, this is ofcourse obsurd as its clear for all to see fielden lost his spine after a tap on the jaw by a big Aussie

Are you saying it wasn't even a penalty then?

And your post just shows you up for the person you are: The extermination of the Jews was over 39 years ago, and it's hardly the sort of thing to bring up on this forum is it? As you are quite obviously not Jewish, and none of your family was exterminated you seem to think you can get a cheap shot in about the extermination.
Can I suggest that you pay a visit to Auschwitz and see for yourself just why people get 'pent up about the extermination of the Jews'. Then you might realise that it's not really an appropriate sort of thing to bring up on a RFL forum in an effort to score cheap points.

no...but nothing more, people saying ban, burn him string him up

39 years ago was it, no wonder you lot overspend on the salary cap with a mathmatical genius like yourself, you are the Goon warriors Treasurer and i claim my £5

he said over 39 years ago

You are a dick wipe who can't understand simple comprehension, and I claim my £5.

Where?????

I think you will find, as has been stated previously, that the issue is YOUR fans accusing Sam of diving, as apparently there was "nothing in it"!

It may have been better to talk about the high tackle 39 years ago in one statement and then the extermination of the Jews in the next. Personally I was quite impressed by the invocation of Godwin’s Law in you first post on the topic and in only the second page, well done at descending to this so quickly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law

This pointless and irrelevant reference to the holocaust is DEEPLY OFFENSIVE. Why bring genocide into a debate about a rugby match?

Mods please ban this poster NOW.

MY fans?

You do know im a Wiganer dont you. It does say in location, no wonder people take the sometimes with gumps like you representing us.

The intent was there so how can it be nothing
