He looks the loose forward type of half to me. Reminded me of a young Scully physically.

Not necessarily a bad thing, with the way the game is going, we could well see much bigger, more physical halves (if only to be able to protect themselves!) imagine a player built like Amor and plays like Walsh!

I've just had a look on zero tackle, joe mellor is off contract the same year as Walsh - solution?

Get Mose to smash Micky Mac from the start, illeagally if needed, take him out for months. The message will go out, mess with Saints players and you'll be a guest of the NHS. So what if Mose gets a 5 week ban, he'll take that to get fully fit anyway, and he'll be a saints hero. With any luck they're best player O'loughlin will retaliate and get sent off too!

Oh dear......

Sounds not right to break a players jaw recklessly or not and be able to get an early guilty plea?

That's the disciplinary process for you. He's entitled to an early guilty plea because of his disciplinary record. Wane is going to ruin the guys career. He could be an average hooker who makes a decent career of things in Super League. But he'll end up just like Newton, in terms of the on field events anyway.

The broken jaw wasn't the worst tackle at the weekend either. The cannonball tackle was horrendous, could be a career ender. An absolutely typical Maguire/Wane Wigan tackle and one that should be met with the harshest of punishments possible.

Makes a mockery of the RFL's assertions pre-season that they would clamp down hard on cannonball tackles doesn't it. McIllorum is banned for 3 games for apparently attempting a tackle but being slightly reckless with the outcome (WTF does that mean?) yet Flower gets away with a classic attempt to 'snap the pole' and destroy someone's knee ligaments. The cannonball tackle is so dangerous, it doesn't matter which way the knee is facing, having your standing leg removed whilst being held up then having that combined weight collapsing instantly onto that joint could easily end a player's career. It's so easy to deal with too, any aggression onto the legs whilst the upper body is held is an instant red and a 3 game ban. They wouldn't do it again, it'd force Wigan to find another way to injure people. So easy to police, you are only allowed to grab, no force onto the legs when held. Easy peasy.
