I've never disagreed with your post that the tackle was actually completed, but the placement of your posts about it appear to be in order to pose an obstreperous, tit for tat argument to either imply that a Saints player is guilty of something "just as bad" as the Taylor/O'Brien incident, or to water down the implications of an off-the-ball challenge that left one of our players unable to finish the match.

Club bias aside, you know that one of those events was a lot more offensive than the other and any argument otherwise will clearly be an attempt to rile the Saints fans who frequent this forum i.e. TROLLING.

So pack it in.

Could be worse I suppose, he/she could be a moderator posting something aimed at riling fans on their teams site.

So ban him. I was under the impression Cheery and White had a zero tolerence policy?

Trolling? Oh come on, I agreed that Taylor's was a bad one (and just for the record, in another thread I berated Dudson for his Hong Kong Phooey impression, so I'm certainly not averse to criticising my own) but god forbid I should criticise St Paul for a cheap shot on Logan Tomkins. Rather than simply agree that he was in the wrong you lot have gone to great lengths to deflect any criticism to the point of putting stuff in quotes that I never said! Trolling indeed eh? How you can say "club bias aside" with a straight face is beyond me.

Anyway since you're obviously pulling out the moderator card I'll leave you all to wallow in self pity about a game you WON 3 days ago.

Thankyou.

You cant ban mods can you?

But he doesn't mod on that board, I think that make the difference.

Mods can be banned. But I thought that my comment was on topic, it was even relevant to the game.

Everything else is purely down to what you read into it.

Mods CAN'T be banned, you can ban, try it but it doesn't work.

Really , I never knew I had so much power to rain chaos across the boards.

Maybe you should not have told me that



I did assume my mod powers were limited to my own board.

I dont think you can moderate other boards but you cant be banned from them either. Imagine the fun you can have now



Imagine Saddened with mod powers !!!! an unbannable force of misery and despair !!!!

That's one way of getting around his Wigan ban

you'd be amazed how often that comment comes up

Can you make it happen?

RIP RLFANS

It'd be worse than Damo

Kris Welham has missed most of the season due to Ade Gardner's shoulder charge on him. He needed to have a season ending operation on the damage it caused to his shoulder.

I don't think so. I'm sure Welham played in the following match.

He did start the next match after having pain killing injections, but did not play again due to the injury. Welham was distraught that he missed the majority of the season and Gardner had a one match ban.

Can't you go be bitter over on the better Hull teams board or something ?

So high shots are legal now?

It will be interesting to see what they decide, considering it was a carbon copy of the Taylor incident.

If Taylor would have been (rightly) banned, I wonder whether Catalan would have targeted O'Brien? Just a thought.

Surely the RFL have to act about this now. A shoulder charge that is late should be, at least, an automatic sin bin and/or one match ban. Cheap shots on half backs is surely a question of player welfare and considering that he's been stretchered off with concussion means that it is just as dangerous as contact with the head.

O'Brien getting knocked out two fixtures in a row is not good for the player, other half backs who take the ball to the line and the sport in general.

O'Brien's taking a lot of stick of late. Is he ok?

Probably not. 2 Heavy hits on the head like that means he'll probably be having a week off against London.

He,s had quite a few head knocks since he,s come into the Saints Squad, maybe he struggles with the impact from the "big hitters" more than the normal player, Gilmour was another one who use to struggle as well.
The thing is if the Cats player is adjudged innocent, I would imagine the London Broncos would see it as open season and target O,Brien for a late challenge to destroy his confidence.
