Delicious irony, with James Bell tackling with his head against Leeds tonight. Please explain that one away Wellens.

He'll say that Bell learned it during his TWO games under Adrian Lam last season.

Whilst stating that there has been dialogue with the RFL in the interim (though he doesn't want to go into it further!) Wellens stands by what he said.

Maybe he should "USE HIS HEAD!"

Then again.....

Exactly seppy. Get Beaumont on C4 2moz to point this out.

This is the tackle

What do you expect? The league has said in no uncertain term there is nothing wrong with the tackle.

Yet Wellens has brought the game into disrepute by accusing the RFL failing to protect player welfare.
Now there are videos showing Stain players committing similar tackles in the game against Leeds.
HTH James.

I'm sure Asiata will carry on regardless but it does put him and the refs in a bit of a bind. Some 23 or so matches into the season and suddenly one player is the focus because of one match, or rather the over reaction to the fall out of one match.

You can't change how you naturally* tackle, if you do then that means clearly you think there was something wrong with it, carry on with it and you will be scrutinising to within an inch of existence and the refs too will continually have flies buzzing around them after every attempt.

*I say naturally, in the nearly two season of watching John at Leigh I've never noticed anything wrong with it, it is the way of the tackle, sometime you go for the ball, sometimes the hips and sometimes the legs, all the while gauging who else is in the tackle and how the opponent is moving. Then you end up with posts like this, being overly analytical and removing the joy from the actual physical contest on the field.

Wellens and Rowley need to keep their mouths shut and use the correct channels to air their grievances.

I think it just needs putting to bed now. There's nothing wrong with his tackling. He goes for the shins rather than the upper leg. It's not Asiata's fault that they are tall, heavy blokes who, when they fall, may land heavily on their knees. It's rugby not tick and pass.
