I think that there has been a massive over-reaction on here to a currently legal shoulder charge/bodycheck or whatever you want to call it.
I've no doubt that Walker did not intend to break Burgess' jaw but he surely meant to inflict pain just as our players do in reverse.
I am glad though that the boot wasn't on the other foot (as it were) & that it wasn't Walker on the receiving end of a similar challenge from Ryan Bailey.
Just imagine the uproar had that happened.
Get well soon Luke, come back stronger next year.

Whats worse is the fact that the hospital fed him a yoghurt that was a year out of date!

i think the reaction was purely based on the hit, i honestly dont think JW had realised just how badly Burgess was hurt, the celebration didnt actuall continue for very long, yeah it was nasty, and a clash of heads, but i doubt JW had realised that at first. There was no intention to injure Luke, it was just an unlucky conclusison to JW sprinitng 50m flat out to Burgess just hitting the ball. However, i do wish BUrgess a speedy recovery

My only issue with shoulder charges is when they make contact with the head. Then for me its an illegal hit, same as a swinging arm. SBW's on Bai in the World Club Challenge a few years back being a prime example. If they hit the shoulder/upper body I've no problem with them.
