Apparently the OZ team have played 18 players by accident.....will England see to it they are disquallified or what....

Souths.

14 on the field (13 players plus ref ) we can live with,but I must say 18 is a bit much,it just isnt cricket.

Yes, but we have Watmough.....he is good for at least 3 penalties and 5 missed tackles...

Isaac Luke comes across as a cheap little coward with his attempts to injure opponents. RL's a tough sport as it is ... you don't need muppets trying to cause deliberate (and potentially serious) injuries...... twisting a leg/knee like that could've caused longterm damage to the joint/ligaments......... all done with a smile on his chops .....

I know it's not the PC thing to say, but Luke is the sort of player who you want to see try to tackle an 18st prop on the rampage, and be cleaned up and knocked out in the process.

After that display on Chase, I'd be happy if he never played again.

What gets me is..... 3 years ago we went into the season with high expectations with purchasing Craig Wing's return to South's and 10 minutes into our first game Wing was held up in a tackle and young Riley came rushing in and hit Wing right on the knees (he fell like a bag of sheit) Wing was on the sideline for the entire season bar 3 games along with South's expectations out the window as soon as that tackle was made....it's not as if Luke doesn't understand the danger that it causes because he has witnessed it first hand.....very low act..

the Ref was heard to say to Luke " you where deliberatly trying to injure his leg (Chase) that is why you are going on report '.

------------------------------------
Don't get me wrong here... the ref had an excellent game i thought. Just made good decisions for the most part, not seemingly favouring one side or the other.

But surely if he stated the above (and i heard him say something along those lines) - then the minimum should've been a yellow? To know a player has deliberately attempted to injure an opponent, must carry as dismissal? What does it take in RL these days to get 10 minutes? The facility is there - bloody use it!!!

A couple of send off's would soon stop any future threat of somebody losing their career over one grubs poor actions.
I enjoy nothing more then watching a game where I have got a love-hate relationship with....it's gives me something to support when my team is not playing and I just love seeing Watmough & Lyon to a lesser degree getting belted and smacked on their arise in a solid clean bone rattler.........even on Sat. against England I'll be the first one up cheering if Westwood or Morley put Grub Watmough on his arise....

Issac Luke banned for two matches,Jeremy Smith banned for one match.
Both players are to challenge these suspensions.

I think they are lucky and I can't see what grounds of appeal they would have.....it was there for all to see the bloody idiots..Hopefully Luke will learn something out of this and move on and play the game for what it's for....he is certainly good enough.
