I've not read back 23 pages so I I don't know if this has been mentioned.........

Spin back a minute or so before "the" incident and you will see a Hull player (pretty sure it was Griffin!!) tackling Makinson and deliberately twisting his ankle when the tackle is completed (the ankle injury he is just recovering from!) - the surrounding Saints players appeal to the ref about the deliberate foul play and Makinson is clearly unhappy with the tackle....... if we are talking about "playing fair" then we should all look at the complete picture - no Saints player caused Griffin's injury - a Hull player (probably Griffin) deliberately tried to injure Makinson - if we are going to get all sanctimonious about Fages being unsporting what about Griffin a minute before????


I recall seeing something. Happened in the first half. Think Swift was in the tackle too. Makinson certainly didn’t look happy after the tackle.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

... not to worry, the disciplinary will ban him for the rest of the season and everyone will be happy.

Totally get that but Griff was in our 20 and had a few players ready to tackle him so was hardly going to gain any advantage by feigning injury there. To push them so close with only 8 minutes remaining is testament to how well we've improved as a team was so proud of the lads.

No - it depends on what you want to see, and how you make disparaging claims.

Good point. There been a few examples of players holding their necks and “simulating” a crusher tackle and going down with a head injury when defending the line. Sometimes gains a rest for their team-mates plus the deliberate “6 again” early in the count is another example of manipulation of the rules to let a team set their defensive line.

Wire seem particularly adept at these “dark arts” but most teams will do it eventually if it’s not stopped (like the PTB into a prone player from a couple of seasons ago for a penalty...,.)

Listen mate, you are the worst kind of poster, if you wish to channel your hate against the Warrington team, put it on their board, don’t use our board as a vessel for your obvious attempts at trouble making.

Griffin apparently come off social media due to abuse received.

I think it all originated from iron man Wilkins comments on the beeb, Josh replied to Wilkin,

some nasty individual was laughing at Josh injury.
Josh has closed his Twitter account.
