Go find this weeks NRL coverage and there will be lots of hits exactly the same. Did you watch Warrington versus Leeds last season, where Adrian Morley put a massive shoulder charge in on Ryan Hall? Exactly the same kind of challenge but just because Hall got up without injury no one said anything except applaud Morley for the hit. Today we simply saw an accident that thankfully doesn't happen too often. The tackle technique is used often and will continue to be used week in week out. Maybe now you'll keep an eye out for it and spot that it does happen lots and isn't a stupid way to tackle.

No there aren't. You need to be able to tell the difference between a guy going into a shoulder charge with control and a dipsh!t just running full speed into someone. Either of those players could have been badly hurt, as it was it was Burgess. Poor technique, poor control, bad outcome.

it was hsoulder to shoulder and controlled, he didn't run full pelt into him with no control.

Exactly.

Apologies if I misinterpreted what you were saying, but it seemed that you were implying it should be illegal, or it was in other codes. I was saying that it was an accidental clash of heads in a collision, and there's no way that should be illegal, or that outlawing a shoulder charge will prevent clashing of heads.

It's like saying you shouldn't be able to tackle from behind if you're the second man in because you could break somebody's trailing leg - just as Richard Owen found out in the third game of the season - ending his season and putting a highly promising career off the rails for a few years.

It's just one of those things that happens in a heavy contact sport, it's all dangerous - and that's part of its charm.

You're wasting your time mate. The guy wasent complaining last year when Bailey broke Faasavalus nose, that was the greatest hit ever made at the time.

Just unlucky for Luke and it's a shame for him but Leeds wont miss him, he isent good enough and needs to spend less time on Twitter.

Credit to vast majority of Cas fans who applauded Luke off the pitch.
Never doubted that they would do otherwise.

I'm sorry but were any of you at the game tonight. Ive come home, pardon my french but like the rest of the stranger leeds fans around me, I was seething with the cas fans. OK Biffer got smacked and he went down and there was a cheer, we all do it as you'd think it was a big hit. When a lad stays down though and the medical team rush on you think of the worse. Now what did the case fans do? Yes they started chanting the name of the lad who hit him. While still down they then went on to sing "senior is a nice person". finally after much time as Biffer was carried off the so called RL fans in the cas end behind the stick appluaded him. I dont say the C or the T swear words much but I did tonight. When a lad is out cold and this happens it makes me think I'd rather see wakey stay up and these mindless cretins be rid of for good. scum is too good a word to use on this lot tonight, it spoilt what should have been a very good evening.

seems a certain few words were edited. suffice to say the match comissioner who is a family friend has reported it with high priority as it was yet another "blip" for cas

Anyway, get well soon Luke from all the Cas fans.

Meanwhile some plonkers want to start and drift wildly onto something really stupid. Good luck with that kid, i'm off to bed.

They sang "do it to Senior", to which he turned around waved and pretended he was in stitches laughing. And yes, I was at the game.
