Can we talk about the Pay/Klemmer hit job on an 19 yr old, 2nd gamer?

[badyon]

Title says it all.

Seems no one is calling this out.

Pay deliberately and specifically held Klemmer back to do a hit job on Haas, and then Klezmer delivered with a premeditated attack.

No one on the field knocked Klemmers head off in retaliation? No one even seems to give a ****?

If you think it was accidental you are naive. At its excusable best, the actual hit was reckless. But the whole thing was premeditated for days. Pay doing the same shit as a coach he did as a player.

 

[Nashy]

I'm naive. I think you're looking way too much into it.

 

[Sproj]

Absolutely an accident.

 

[Black Philip]

No malice in it whatsoever. Klemmer made sure Haas was alright after it, the dogs players around him all look concerned and made sure he was all good. It sucked for Haas but there was nothing in it.

 

[Wolfie]

Haven't seen a proper replay yet, but it didn't look intentional

 

[Viti]

It was an unfortunate accident, nothing more. As far as Pay keeping Klemner fresh to deal with Haas, Payne should take that as a massive compliment.

 

[Maroon4life]

Thought Klemmer came on a while before Haas? Like someone said it’s quite complimentary.

Haas looked to be falling at the time, bad luck for haas.

 

[broncsgoat]

We could talk about it, but it would be a massive waste of time

 

[Kimlo]

He was about to fall over and the dogs player rushed to grab him so he didn't. It's a tough game, even if it was premeditated, nothing wrong with it, we all want our players to smash the other team. I think in the long run it will be good for Haas.

Well, I partially agree with you. In my opinion it was a deliberate high shot and nothing accidental about going high. That said I believe Klemmer wasn't going for the total cheap shot but no mistake, it was high and reckless.

 

[Battler]

It was careless even if it wasn't intentional, in Union (which I loathe) he would have been sent. The NRL needs to take head hits seriously if it is going to exist as a code in 25 years.

Edit: Klemmer is a notorious grub so I certainly have my suspicions about it not being intentional.

 

[Morkel]

I'd like that tin foil hat back, please. You're ruining it for all the genuine conspiracies. There was nothing in that hit, it was simply unfortunate.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Shoulder to the head. Unintentional but they’re penalties these days.

 

[Huge]

Yes, it was unfortunate BUT it was high. Haas wasn't half way to the ground falling rather he was at full standing height. Klemmer hit him flush on the chin with his shoulder. It wasn't a cheap shot and yes, it was a tough front on tackle but it was HIGH. No doubt about the facts and accidental or not, that exact same tackle has always drawn a penalty and been put on report. Contact to the head.

 

[Super Freak]

Nothing in it.

Not even worthy of a penalty. Haas put his head in the wrong position.

It's been a while since that tackle has been a penalty.

Klemmer comes in to wrap the arms around Haas and Haas gets his head in the wrong position.

Should have been a penalty IMO, but what has his age got to do with it? If his age is a factor, then he shouldn't be playing. Nothing malicious in the tackle.
