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.
It's the legal version of "the biff", a perfectly timed, well-executed ploy to take out the playmaker.
It worked.
A real bummer for us, but we have to get on with it and, as you say, let other players show what they can do.
I don't mind the tactic (as long as it's legal) - we've all enjoyed it when the boot has been on the other foot. I'm just surprised that some people think the modern game isn't hard enough.
