Yes the tackle was fair, but i'm interesed to know how Morgan would have reacted if it was the other way round, he always seems to be moaning about something, whereas Kear just gets on with it!

Sandal Cat wrote: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.

Apparently not

You could chew on my grapes very easily indeed after I had sat on the wet seat for 80mins yesterday.

I know what you mean, its by no means an ideal situation, but after the game our chairman commented on the problems in the ground, and promised that the club are working towards providing better facilties in the next couple of years, considering the weather, it was a great turnout from your fans, and I know personal insults are not allowed but most of the stewarts at Craven Park are just a bunch of Kn0bs.

Murrel puts big hits out every game, I seem to remember some “expert” saying a few seasons ago that he needs to change his tackling technique or he’ll suffer with his shoulders in years to come. After his reconstructive surgery last season I thought he may have calmed down a bit on the big hits but obviously not.

I’m glad he hasn’t been fined or banned for the tackle, at the end of the day its Rugby League and if legal the big hits are part and parcel of the game. Speedy recovery to Drew.

My mate that I go with is called Stewart (although it's Stuart), you're correct though, he is a bit of a kn0b.

I have no problem with the hit. It's part and parcel of the game and it's gutting because if the injury is serious than that's another player out. But whilst i don't condone the tactic's believed to be employed by KR they are within the rules.

Injuries happen, and as we have seen another player will get the shirt and a chance to impress

I'll accept that when you guys accept the "penalty try"



To be fair we all side with them when it suits with regards to the RFL

don't give a damn what you say about legal and not legal. if mongrel goes on to the field to purposely lame another player, then he doesn't deserve to be on the field. its quite obvious what the game plan was, but what usually goes round comes round.
