In fairness he is asking a question not making a statement, you can spot this by the ? at the end.

He then finishes with "Pretty dirty tricks if you ask me. " Now when listenening on the radio as i did they felt the tackle was late or certainly gave that impression, armed with the knowledge that he took a big hit, Fozzard was involved and the fact we are playing a pretty ragged bunch i think he is fair in his assessment that it does indeed sound pretty dirty tricks! I played rugby for around 15 years under various coaches and at various levels, i have never had a coach who said "Their hooker is injured and limping so take it easy on him". But each and every one of those coaches made sure of it that if a player was showing some kind of injury then that was the area to go for in the tackle.

Good tactics if you ask me and certainly worked.

The review commitee said exactly the same thing as well

Actually, no, if I see one of our players giving a cheap shot it bothers me as much as if they receive one, having played the game I know what its like. No matter what the rivalry, no-one should ever overlook such actions.

They would say that wouldn't they

It was just a good hit
deal with it

Yes the tackle was fair, but i'm interesed to know how Morgan would have reacted if it was the other way round, he always seems to be moaning about something, whereas Kear just gets on with it!

Apparently not


Go chew on your grapes

You could chew on my grapes very easily indeed after I had sat on the wet seat for 80mins yesterday.

I know what you mean, its by no means an ideal situation, but after the game our chairman commented on the problems in the ground, and promised that the club are working towards providing better facilties in the next couple of years, considering the weather, it was a great turnout from your fans, and I know personal insults are not allowed but most of the stewarts at Craven Park are just a bunch of Kn0bs.

Murrel puts big hits out every game, I seem to remember some “expert” saying a few seasons ago that he needs to change his tackling technique or he’ll suffer with his shoulders in years to come. After his reconstructive surgery last season I thought he may have calmed down a bit on the big hits but obviously not.

I’m glad he hasn’t been fined or banned for the tackle, at the end of the day its Rugby League and if legal the big hits are part and parcel of the game. Speedy recovery to Drew.

any news on Brads injury yet

My mate that I go with is called Stewart (although it's Stuart), you're correct though, he is a bit of a kn0b.

I have no problem with the hit. It's part and parcel of the game and it's gutting because if the injury is serious than that's another player out. But whilst i don't condone the tactic's believed to be employed by KR they are within the rules.

Injuries happen, and as we have seen another player will get the shirt and a chance to impress

I'll accept that when you guys accept the "penalty try"





To be fair we all side with them when it suits with regards to the RFL

don't give a damn what you say about legal and not legal. if mongrel goes on to the field to purposely lame another player, then he doesn't deserve to be on the field. its quite obvious what the game plan was, but what usually goes round comes round.

He boshed him fair and square so I don't see what the problem is

Heard 4 to 6 weeks out

Shut up you fool Brad drew got mullered by a perfectly good hit, its not our fault he's not made out of sterner stuff

Nobody goes out to purposely lame another player it was a fair hit and what is great about the game.

Go and watch Football if you like you will soon get fed up of Ronhaldino and the like falling over a piece of grass.

Do you need help, i know a big house that will take you in

Are you suggesting Brads a softy, would have thought someone who's been around the game that long would be made of sterner stuff.


Good hit or bad hit i really don't know but to make that suggestion is a tad silly, i'm sure you won't get any support from other KR fans.

Your sheer lack of respect for the players of our game knows no bounds,words fail me on such a stupid comment.

Didnt see the hit, so don't have an opinion - but I assume you have not been watching the game very long if you stand by this comment.

It's the legal version of "the biff", a perfectly timed, well-executed ploy to take out the playmaker.

It worked.

A real bummer for us, but we have to get on with it and, as you say, let other players show what they can do.

I don't mind the tactic (as long as it's legal) - we've all enjoyed it when the boot has been on the other foot. I'm just surprised that some people think the modern game isn't hard enough.

It was directly in front of me and Murrell caught him perfectly on time.
It is a shame such a talented bloke has been injured but there was nothing wrong with it, it was a classic bit of proper RL biff.

He looked to be holding his upper arm/shoulder so hope it's not a break or sprung shoulder.
