Id love to know your opinion on what's an "unnecessary tackle" on a rugby pitch.

Because youve just randomly made up a completely different incident to defend your point of view, which is a complete waste of time and utter nonsense.

Of course its completely different, the only way(s) he contacts the ankle is likely to be deliberate, or really really badly mistimed. This one is a complete accident, or at worst a bit reckless.

So if he had done something completely different no one would have complained, what a bizarre post.

Not really, he goes another steps in.

I was thinking more the RFL making Toulouse and Catalans pay for opposition teams travelling, taking the easy way out with Cornwall and the cup competition to not upset established clubs etc.

As opposed to how open minded everyone is to expansion the last few decades, that's gone really well hasn't it, with the RFL actually putting things in place to stymie it where it looks like taking hold. And the fans eh, they're so welcoming and open to new clubs all the time.....

I meant more the inside the 10 from a kick thing, they were being much more lenient if a player just stood around. I get that sort of, but even not interfering could take the attention of a defender. Imagine if Ellery Hanley played now, he'd really struggle with the downtown rule, he spent half his time in the defending teams line when his team had the ball...

They've changed in the NRL to that kind of thing I think, so if a players within 10 but has no impact on the play at all it's ignored.

If he's onside that's a brilliant try.

Lewis getting a lot more involved... And there's a try on the back of it.

That's never forward.

Belting try but shocking defending. Moylan barely even bothered.

Oof that's a hell.of a hit.

Amazing you managed to link that to Wilkin
