Walmsley : Sat Sep 13, 2014 12:36 am  

Was it a sending off offence?

My view was no, it was very clumsy and slightly late.

What a load of tosh, I suggest you watch both incidents again once your emotionally stable

Reckless rather tham malicious i'm hoping sending off sufficient?

Mcllorum tackle was malicious and he'll end up the way of Newton?

Re: Walmsley : Sat Sep 13, 2014 6:55 am  

Don't think it was malicious but a red card for sure.

Re: Walmsley : Sat Sep 13, 2014 7:30 am  

It was high, from behind and on a player without the ball

Clumsy, reckless and immediate red card and a 2 game ban

From behind? What game do people watch at all? If you can't add to the forum constructively then just disappear.

It was certainly a red card as contact with the head from the shoulder but I don't think it was as bad as people are making out.

Walmsley is crouching into the tackle, he is not late enough to be negligible and it wasn't a shoulder charge as it was an attempted tackle.

The issue with them tackles on HBs is when players are not making a genuine attempt to tackle and fly in with just their shoulder: e.g Joel Tomkins on thurs was very late and used a shoulder charge and scott Taylor on GOB last season.

It will be interesting to see what the outcomes will be at the disciplinary on Paddy Wack and Walmsley. The problem is the disciplinary know that its parts of his game for Paddy Wack and they might factor this in, where as Walmsley was clumsy but they might want to make a deterrent example of him.

Let's be sensible lad. We're talking about Walmsley's late tackle on this thread and it was most certainly a red card. Alex made a mistake and he must be feeling really bad about the sending off but let's not get into stupid stuff such as he'll end up the way of Newton...
