Rightly so, despite this benefitting us, that was a bloody awful (not there are good one's) spear tackle, potentially career ending on Heaton, this sort of tackle crept in in Australia in the late eighties / early nineties (although it's always been there) but just cannot be allowed back in.
Bird is a cock.
I'd say that to his face.
He'd probably smash mine off and that would be to the detriment of the whole human race, but sometimes, one has to take a stand.

Hard to argue with that . Probably one of the best players in league but also a nasty sod.Little bit like Newton for us (I loved Newton)His ban really screws them but Sam Moa should have had the same and I've seen him do dangerous late/high hits all season.Catalans will come with the same game plan as v Fax.Bullyboy tactics Mcnamara is a crap coach and he's gone back to bare bones with a bunch of imports who don't care and some french thugs who aren't good enough for union where they would be playing if they were good enough.set of shitters
