Yes, I think he deliberately went for the head last night. McCarthy barely moves, Akuola has the entire run up to align himself and goes straight at McCarthy, leads with the shoulder and the point of impact is his head. He is in control of that situation last night and could have avoided it. Just put his shoulder either side of the head, he still knocks him flying but McCarthy isn't sent to lalaland. There have been other examples from him where he hasn't targeted the head and it's purely been poor technique and a player being run over that causes it, but last night I think he causes that.

Soon you will have us just playing tag rugby,why don’t you just go off and have a nice game of chess.

remember, they also dont like hill, he's a dirty grub, they dont like austin, he fakes injuries, they dont like lineham, he's a fat slow dirty grub, they dont like charnley....

I'm spotting a pattern here

A thread from last night about Hill going off for HIA then coming back on. They seem to have overlooked the fact that the “A” stands for assessment, and we needed his size on the pitch. We were very lightweight without him.

Didn’t Sita get a letter warning him of his style of leading with the shoulder a while back. Memory is foggy, but seem to recall him being criticised for this previously.

If so, he could be in trouble.

This is coming from the club who were outraged that a Toby King was feigning injury when in the end it turns out he had medial damage. This is then the same club who mysteriously have Walmsley and then Lomax drop out and wouldn't allow any of there "foreign" players play for the all stars despite not even having a game this weekend.

Oh I don’t think you’re being very fair, they are called the Saints because they ARE Saints and the Entertainers because erm, well, because they have the best defence. I think I’ve got that right.

They do my head in whining, jesus every dodgy decision and bounce goes there way. They wouldnt be in the CC Final this year if it wasnt for the Fages "try". They won the GF on a dodgy bounce. Even going back to the matches vs us at Knowsley Road and the HJ. Lucky bounces of the ball would win them the game.

You only have to listen to them numpties on redvee who do the after match reaction to see how bitter they are.

It will be like tag rugby in a few years, been sliding that way for a while.

He hardly even makes contact with his head anyway, the initial contact was with the top of McCarthy's chest. The collision rocked his head back, which caused the concussion.

It was a highlight of the game, crowds love it, commentators got excited. Then some fans pretend they didn't enjoy it. Rival fans pretend that they wouldn't love it if their players did the same.

The ball carrier also has the responsibility of protecting the ball which has been made harder this season with the ridiculous rule that defenders can turn a gang tackle into a one man affair to strip the ball. If an attacker has to hold the ball in both hands it makes it near enough impossible to do a hand off instead.

Let's not forget their amazing line speed & momentum passes.
