| Quote saint at wire="saint at wire"Really?
That's not what the Independent and Guardian say. Both papers - who I don't think are biaised either way - suggest the the RFL needs to investigate what looked to be a late challenge on wheeler. It is unusual for papers to even suggest such actions which shows that their reporters think it was late. (The tabloids didn't give the whole game more than about 100 words so no surprise they didn't mention it).
This does not "happen every week" any more as you well know - it is totally outlawed and yes hooper did it all the time and got penalised for it and then it was banned. In particular, he took a delight in taking out briers to such an extent that he became the no1 hate figure in this town!'"
Looks like your newspapers was wrong after all ey.

The more rational of us knew there was nothing in the challenge.

The hoff could have radio'd kit run over wheeler and then backed over him and you and half the other biased Goons who troll on here would still have claimed it was a legit tackle.
Watching it back I'd still say it was a penalty but the injury is just down to Wheeler being made of Cheese. I wonder if as well as a man of steel we should have a man of cheese award for the most injury prone player in a season

Hoffman didn't hit the standing leg and the RFL are obsessed with the standing leg this season. He didn't hit Wheeler's head either. That doesn't mean to say there was nothing in it. Just that it didn't fit this season's fashionable dangerous tackles. Another ref would have given a penalty for it.

The review committee looked at it and decided there was nothing wrong with it, so why would another referee have given a penalty, and how do you know?

Because referees referee differently, so stop being obtuse.
The review committee pointed to head and standing leg. That was their criteria. I wonder what their criteria was last season?
And if you're bored with what I say on here then bugger off back to your own board.

| Christ, it's 2 rounds ago now. It's gone, forget about it. It was reviewed and there was no case to answer so he did nothing wrong. It's Rugby League and it's a very hard game, things like this can occur at any time in any given match. Move on and talk about the future instead of moaning about the past, it's not as if Saints have never ever done a late hit on a kicker.

| The hit tackle by Hoffman was not illegal. A match official confirmed this to me after the game. What was questionable was the timing.
He said that the RFL would look at that aspect of the incident.
They now have!
