| Heard he faces a late fitness test for Friday due to small ACL tear. Although he could potentially play Fri and week after should we be lucky enough to get to OT, wider ramifacations of this are he will likely miss Englands series V Kiwis.
This would likely mean decision is made for McNamara and Tomkins will play at 1.
Gutted for him if this is the case, the next game and one after hopefully are more important IMO so fingers crossed he can get through them Ok.

| zak will be ok for the remainder of the sl season....hopefully
but this could save mcbanana a lot of heartache as there simply has to be a place for sam in the england side and it was looking difficult for him to find him a starting spot due to his poor form and injuries in nz

| A partial tear to the ACL often causes some instability and there is a risk of it developing into full rupture needing a knee reconstruction op.

| It was that sh|thouse tackle from Brough that he seems to have somehow got away with.

Is this the tackle where according to the Gaints board Zak faked injury and took a dive to get a pen?

You mean the tackle where Brough wraps both legs around Hardakers? You know, the tackle that causes the injury?
Unless you think a shoulder to the upper body can cause a knee injury more than a scissors tackle.
Take your Huddersfield, I ❤️ Danny blinkers off and actually look at the tackle. It's very easy to see how and why Hardaker sustained an injury.

Yep that's the one. Fortunately most Huddersfield fans seem to have taken the result with the same grace and humility as the Huddersfield chairman.
Unfortunately a few have decided to take it with the same grace as the grumpy idiot they have as head coach.

You can see his right leg already in front of Hardakers and his left leg coming around.
It was a sh|thouse tackle that if not done purposefully to injure was, at the very least, reckless.

100% agree. It gets worse too and keeps getting worse until Brough stops twisting on the ground.

Nothing foul about that tackle, only tackle not allowed with the legs is a trip. And the ref was only 3 metres away and he didn`t give a penalty for that.

| I said it at the time that it was a dangerous technique. Brough clamps Zaks legs and bends him the wrong way. I can't believe (actually I can) nobody at the RFL had a look at it.

That's simply wrong. Rules pretty clearly put the duty on the tackler to make sure its a safe technique...
Foul “throws” 1. (a) A tackler must not make use of any special “holds” or “throws” which are likely to cause injury or use his knees in the tackle. It is permissible for a tackler to bring a player in possession of the ball to the ground by pulling him over the outstretched leg provided he is holding the player with both arms before there is any contact with
the leg.

Yep. But don't tell that to those who worship at the feet of Brough.
Don't forget earlier in the game the ref had to have words with Brough & Hardaker to try and calm them both down. That isn't a regular tackle and it doesn't happen by accident. Brough meant to put his legs where he did. Whether he meant to injure only he will know, but it was, at least, reckless and should've been picked up by the disciplinary.
Of course, in a previous game this season Brough accused Hardaker of biting him, so there's a bit of ongoing problem between the 2.

What Omar said.
But anyone who knows anything about RL doesn't need the rule book to know that that isn't a legal tackle and it's dangerous. Just as dangerous as the sh|thouse tackle by Chase on Ferres.

| Probably already been said elsewhere but I thought Paul Anderson's conduct both during and after the game fell well below that expected by a Head Coach. Hopefully, when he reviewed the video of the game he realised that he got to caught up in the heat of the battle. I hope there's a fine on the way from the RFL and a strong warning about future conduct.

I posted the same immediately after his comments....Brough avoiding any disciplinary after that woeful 'tackle' is shocking (I perceived it to be bad at the time, but Him as highlighted just how bad !!) but it is equally shocking that Anderson has apparently been excused any consequences for his conduct.
AS for these 'tackles' (Sneyd on McGuire another) I guess it will take a severe injury for the RL to actually do anything about it.

Sadly it does appear that the RFL will only hand out a decent length ban if the player is seriously injured. The only one I can think of that got anything like they deserved was Chase on Ferres. But even then do we really think the RFL would've handed out the ban they did had Ferres not been so badly injured? Plus I think it should've been longer anyway.
I hate these type of tackles. I know things can happen in RL and that players can get injured and players can make mistakes when tackling so I'm prepared to give some benefit of the doubt to certain tackles like high tackles/sticking an arm out/even some spear tackles. But tackles like this, like Sneyd on McGuire, like Chase on Ferres have no place whatsoever in our game. You don't have to tackle like this. You can perform a perfectly good tackle without doing this. So these tackles should be eliminated from our sport.

| Brough went for Zak with his legs in the second minute. Zak collected in goal and was pretty certain to be trapped, but Brough lunged in feet first to block off an avenue, not a nice tactic and one again that went unpunished.
this is blurry but still doesn't look great

And what is your opinion on players charging in late with both their knee's after a player has scored a try, just like Peacock did against Castleford last week.

I'm against it but it's certainly not as clear cut as this. What's your point?
