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

[john1420]

I really can't stand Klemmer, but even I don't think it was premeditated deliberate

It was, however, a clear penalty - every day of the week

An absolute ref howler to miss that one, but WB isn't whinging about it

Class act our Wayne

I know he isn't 100% perfect, but I'd rather he be on my team than against it

 

[Harry Sack]

Definitely a deliberate "big" tackle, to try and shake up the new kid on the block......the contact with the head however is just an accident. Penalty and move on IMO.

 

[roo-ted]

Haas will put Klemmer on his ass next broncos v Dog's, he will have something to prove. What goes around comes around

 

[I bleed Maroon]

I despise Klemmer as much as the next person but this one wasn't intentional. He checked on Haas afterwards, A Bulldog caught him when he was wobbly on his feet and Klemmer made an effort to wrap the arm in the hit.

It was just really unfortunate for Haas. His height was his undoing in this instance.

Yeah it really wasn't that bad, Klemmer probably did have a job to knock Haas around abit, you'd be mad not to try and slow the big unit up early on. Haas just got rocked on his way down. I wonder if Wayne will give him a week off because of how rocked he was, if so I wonder who's next in line, we are burning though them pretty fast

 

[Harry Sack]

I think he hit his head on the turf pretty hard too when he went down? I seem to remember a fairly violent bounce of his head.

He injured his ankle in the tackle as well which will sideline him longer than a concussion. 3-4 weeks I think

Yeah he got hit hard, won't be the last time. I'm sure every team will try rattle him as soon as he comes on

Oh really? Farrk.. We might see abit more of Taga.. Maybe?

 

[Morkel]

Anyone else notice Foran slam his head in to the ground really hard in the first half? Wobbled up, played the ball really sheepishly and then kneeled for ages before trying to stand up.

 

[isaiah]

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.

The age thing reminds me of Adam Ritson, smashed out of the game

I'd prefer George fai

Yeah I've had raps on Fai for a while , he would suit out current style of footy.

 

[Stix]

I don't think there was much in it but I can't workout how we had to turn the ball over? Haas gets knocked out through an unintentional shoulder and plays the ball... fell over after he played the ball but still played the ball with his foot. And it's a turn over? Seen plenty of penalties awarded through unintentional contact with the head.

 

[scgg]

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.

So tackling and hitting hard is a no go these days? Yep it was unfortunate that payne copped an accidental knock to the head.

So what if they had a plan to target payne? Most clubs will have spot players or targets in the opposition to go after. Its actually normal every day rugby league.

Ritson had a cyst on his brain. The condition had nothing to do with football. They operated on his brain to remove it.

Ritson also copped a large number of very cheap headshots. He was targeted and bashed senseless.

He pushed the ball forward when he tried to play it. That's a no no.
