Hip drop.

Looks like pretty dangerous tackling technique to me. Would be easy to do a lot of ankle or knee damage with that

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

But nothing for Mr Magoo?  Not that I'm bothered as we really need Wigan to give Toulouse a good towelling next week. 

Surprising though.

Indeed and that is why people get bans for doing it.

[PREPOSTEROUS]

Yes he body weight drops onto the Wigan players legs so can see why the RFL want to rid such a technique from the game.

The sport really needs to stamp out these kind of tackles,can’t really understand how anyone can think 3 games is harsh.

[Jughead]

Similar weighted “techniques” have been discussed a fair amount in the NRL lately and coming down heavily on players is the right way to go.

Very apt wording...

That's a 3 game ban, I can't see how anyone can question it.

Someone will, though.

Think 3 matches is about right for that. Using a "scissor" technique to trap a player's leg is very dangerous.

Dirty B***** !!!!! 

that could easily break a leg/ankle, lucky he only got 3 for that.

[Live after death]

Is there a different  angle i cannot see what he’s supposed to have done not on phone screen or at that speed/angle.

It’s harsh because the RFL are picking on my team again is the real reason

[daz39]

Just noticed this was posted by a Wakefield fan, was he expecting outrage at the ban handed out to his own team player or was he sharing this example of an awfully dangerous bad tackle so we could condemn it too?

Scissor tackle?

Are your eyes painted on?

No. Are you familiar with the action a pair of scissors make?

Yes. It's not a scissor tackle.

Body weight is dropped on the legs, but not in a scissor action.

Have another look, then come back and retract your comment.

Still a shocker of a tackle that deserves the 3 game ban.

Quite possibly.

But it's not a scissor tackle, which is something quite distinct and deliberate, is it?

And the hip drop wasn’t deliberate ?

I don't believe so, no, not at all - but that doesn't change the fact it's a foul action.

I have no issue if you think it was though (well done for reading KTs mind BTW).

What is indisputable though, is that it's not a scissor tackle.

I think what is indisputable is that you really can’t handle any criticism of anything Wakefield,not a good trait to have on a RL discussion forum.

How do you figure that?

I've stated it's a foul action. It deserves a ban I'm sure.

What's not a good trait is to state something blatantly untrue.

It's not a scissor tackle.
