Don't be stupid. You are obviously ignoring the smack in the mouth that Webb gave Westwood earlier in the game. Webb has a very nasty habit of making straight tackles and made a couple last night. If you think that the Chris Bridge thing from last week is being coached, then you really are being stupid.

As i said, i expect its just coincidence that Westwood and Bridge used the same cheap shot technique to hit a player on the ground and unable to defend themselves.

In that one case, Westwood was taking a cheap shot, nothing new, he's a cheapshot merchant - but Webb is worse.

That said, I am glad Webb plays for Leeds

I am rather glad Webb plays for Leeds as well, and can well understand his frustrations with some of the less talented opposition players he encounters.

At this late stage in his career he has nothing left to prove,and I just wish he would use his experience more, and his head hunting tackling less.

That said, I don't think anyone should really be penalised for giving Westwood a smack.....it's hardly going to ruin his film star looks, now is it?

Brent Webb was once a very talented RL player - now he just looks jaded, cynical and grubby; the horrible gurning and ranting at the officials every time he's tackled gives the impression of either a big baby or a prima-donna.

He's still creating try after try after try. But his petulance has been more than an irritant for some time now.

Does he? I know he creates penalty after penalty for the opposition.

Oh, wait, he does create tries for them too when he lets the ball bounce.

Westwood- cheap shot artist

One thing I do know, he collects Grand Final winners rings like nobodies business. The biggest baby in Rugby league is Lee Briers, if anyone dares to look at him he bawls and wets his pants.

Well Leeds have set the standard everyone else has to follow to win a Grand Final. Warrington are apparently emulating the cheap shot part of that standard so if they can emulate the "Sinfield being the second ref" and "How dare people tackle me" parts of it then the Grand Final will be theirs soon enough.
