News on the injury Lee Gaskell sustained should be released this afternoon.

Is it just me or did Ali Lautiti clearly lead with the elbow into Kearneys head knocking Kearney on his' arris,



Looked like it on the big screen but not watched the game back from sky+ yet ???

^ looked clean mate, he didn't point his elbow, it was tucked in, and extended his arm to push Kearney rather than strike him

While that certainly dsn't support my hunch it does seem to indicate you could score a try with your belly without having to touch it with an arm. Almost like a makeshift Big Daddy splash, if you will.

Glad you mentioned it. I thought that. Thanks for the validation.

Will watch it again tonight and have a butchers,



I know he didnt strike him with the elbow but looked like he lead with it which IIRC is a penalty offence,



Oh well we won anyway none the less so irrelevant really

Lauitiiti should be going to Red Hall over the attack to the head on Luke Gale when he was defenceless on the ground near the end of the game. Was mentioned on sky. Dirty coward.

If he did I am sure he will be.

I saw that - regardless of the size difference, I was soo wanting Gale to punch him from the ground. Cowardly play like that irritates me.



In hindsight, I'm glad he didn't retaliate, can do without Gale missing games due to injury/suspension

Looked to me like a forearm.



Then he pushed the hand out.

I also hope when they review Addys tackle on Sammut late on which was put on report they notice Kirmond (i think it was) hitting Addy in the head while he was on the floor

Hopefully Addy won’t be suspended for his attempted crusher tackle on Sammut.
