Quote bewareshadows="bewareshadows"Why not have a no tackle rule for Tomkins, that way he does not need to milk the penalty when he gets the ball, it's just automatic the second he is tackled. Will save everyone time.'"
Idiot
Quote bewareshadows="FearTheVee"Oh, boo hoo.
Good god, is this RL we're talking about?'"
Yes rugby.... not boxing, kung fu, judo, karate, kick boxing or a footy match between Leeds and Chelsea circa 1971
Quote bewareshadows="DANN"Firstly its the lack of proper punishments that is SW's gripe.

Exactly. I paid something like £20 to watch England v Australia, somebody can remind me of the year.. possibly 2004? England kicked off and Adrian Morley cleaned out an aussie in 7 seconds. The match was over, the test series was over in 7 seconds. That England side could have won that series but becuase of an head high tackle it was ruined. Roll on several years later and its now acceptable to rip Sam Tomkins head off( and Ryan Halls- J Thurston- no penalty try, no red card, no punishment). Wane has made a good point, its illegal, dirty and it has no place in this sport.
Even yawnion is trying to clean its act up.
