But what's that got to do with anything, if you don't mind me being so direct? I mean, all rugby players get tackled very easily, especially those tasked with pushing forward. That's what defence work is, isn't it? And Fas got knocked out in the Leeds match. Does this mean he isn't to be rated either? Or Sean Long when he was injured in a tackle? I'm really not sure what the point is that you are making by linking your opinion of him as a player with being tackled and getting injured.

I might have used the wrong words, what i meant is i don't feel he runs his weight. Its very often the likes of Graham and Fas'avalu hit the defender but then continue to make extra yards, were as i always feel that Scarsbrook gets tackled first time far too easily.

The getting injured bit was just an observation from the match, i'm not linking my opinion to that, i just noticed he took a few knocks after a few big tackles were put on him. Fair play to him though, he kept getting up and taking the ball in again.

Ah, right. You mean actually brought down? He doesn't carry a few on his back for a while? I hadn't noticed that, to be honest. Maybe you're right, I don't know.


If he has broken his arm then he's a damn nutter!

Ten! I assume you forgot to type thousand?

I wasn't sure of the correct spelling of gazillion to be honest.

Fair point.

As a Quins fan LMS is good for London RL but I say it every week for me he doesn't run from deep enough. The word is he is the fastest player in the club.

Ive seen him "get beat" by rough packs in the past and get frustrated which is something he will overcome as he gets older.

As for getting up after a knock thats an improvement on his competition for a GB front row slot Fas'avalu who doesn't when getting tackled by a soft Leeds get and even a wigan No 7

He definitely did his wrist in the early stages of the second half. I saw him clutching at his wrist straight away after damaging it. He didn't go off and continued to take the ball up and he carried on clutching at it after every time he was involved in something, be it a drive or tackle.

I thought he was solid, that's more than most. Would have him at the drop of a hat at Leeds.

Maurie got up after both, and they were both big hits (even if one was illegal

).

After the one against Wigan, he got up, and give Tommy the thumbs up, then continued the game.
