The Drew tackle was right in my line of sight and it wasn't late, it was smack on time and fair, just a bloody big hit. Norris is just having a moan.

Did not see whether the tackle on Drew was fair or not but John Kear was asked on Radio Leeds if he was happy with the tackle or not he said NO and that it would be referred to the RFL. He also said that the same player had also taken out Tony Martin with a late tackle also. Clearly JK not happy.

It may have been fair but not entirely coincidental in my opinion that our only playmaker lasted 30 seconds. If fair then excellent tactics by HKR.

Drew incident referred to disciplinary and the judgement was no problem with it, it was not high or late. The other was not even referred. Sorry Norris

Seems pretty obvious to me that this was Hull KR's game plan - to take out Drew and destroy one of our major attacking influences.
Couldn't get to the game, but heard it all on the radio - was there any action taken against Fozzard - sounded late in the tackle?
Should he have been sent off, or 10 minutes?
Pretty dirty tricks if you ask me.
Thought Fozzard was a Wakefield lad!!

It's amazing what can be gleaned using the magic of FM isn't it?
One can discern not only that a challenge was late, but also that it was late as part of a cynical game plan.
I bet if you use that new fangled DAB you'd even be able to find out which player made the tackle.

In fairness he is asking a question not making a statement, you can spot this by the ? at the end.

He then finishes with "Pretty dirty tricks if you ask me. " Now when listenening on the radio as i did they felt the tackle was late or certainly gave that impression, armed with the knowledge that he took a big hit, Fozzard was involved and the fact we are playing a pretty ragged bunch i think he is fair in his assessment that it does indeed sound pretty dirty tricks! I played rugby for around 15 years under various coaches and at various levels, i have never had a coach who said "Their hooker is injured and limping so take it easy on him". But each and every one of those coaches made sure of it that if a player was showing some kind of injury then that was the area to go for in the tackle.

Good tactics if you ask me and certainly worked.

Actually, no, if I see one of our players giving a cheap shot it bothers me as much as if they receive one, having played the game I know what its like. No matter what the rivalry, no-one should ever overlook such actions.
