Got to say I didn't see anything from Cahill nor cross today that would warrant "dirtiest player" tags......Goldy; on the other hand.....

Ryan mgoldrick, Ryan Bailey, Ben Cross, Gareth Hock, all players with ability that prefer cheap shots. I wouldnt be surprised if one of these end up at the disapliney pannel this week.

Rangi's was a bad one but its not something he does week in week out.

Re: Ben Cross : Tue May 08, 2012 7:09 am  

At the game I hadn't noticed the niggles and knee's of Ben Cross. The one thing I did notice was that, as a prop his fitness levels were pretty good and he seemed to do the full 80. (If he was rotated, I didn't see it).

I have however since watched the game as recorded at home, and Yes it just happens to have been him who stuck the knee in Danny Orr's back leading to Orr leaving the the field. Cross just happened to be the one kneeling on Youngquest's arm in the first half.

I'm not saying out players are 'whiter than white', but Cross is definitely a dirty, take no prisoners, player!

He is crap like most of our players

Re: Ben Cross : Tue May 08, 2012 8:13 am  

I didn't think the Orr incident looked intentional; Cross is certainly a niggler who seems unable to control himself, but that one looked accidental. Fair play to Orr for holding his ground, but it looked like a challenge for the ball and Orr came off second best. Hope he's ok.

How about Mr McGoldrick and his attempt to crush Cameron Phelps' (?) windpipe - does that warrant inclusion in this discussion? What a horrible git - the sooner he's out of the English game, the better.

On a lighter note - are Cas the most tattooed team in SL??

Re: Ben Cross : Tue May 08, 2012 8:58 am  

McGoldrick has been mentioned. I think there's a thread on the VT including it as well. He's dense and should get a couple of games for it. There's no excuse, not even accidental was it?

I don't think the challenge on Orr was deliberate, just going for the ball. Didn't really notice much niggle at the game, but no doubt more was picked up by those watching on TV.

Without a doubt.

him and cahill two dirtiest players on pitch today

Interesting that nobody mentioned Phelps. It made me laugh how we got penalised for a high shot on him when it was probably born out of frustration of about three high shots, plus a tackle in the air, all committed by him that went unpunished.

Not the best of games all round to be honest but a decent performance by Cas I thought, when watching it in a very tired state when I got home from a weekend away last night. The penalty count was ridiculous against us though - we were being penalised for the same things as Widnes but weren't nearly as bad as they were in committing them - quite possibly one of the worst teams for spoiling the game I've seen all season.

Bren I have a sneaky feeling Mr McGoldrick will be in the red white and blue next season along with our petulant hat trick hero, sorry to be the bearer of bad news!!
