Eye for a eye?

Rhymes with 'watching paint dry'

Seems to be a common theme this season.

Astonishing stuff from a SL coach.

What did he say?

I think hes another thats spat his dummy out after being beat by us. It's foolish making statements like that.









O'Loughlin was fortunate not to be sin-binned and Brown claims that if something similar occurs again, he will tell his bigger players to deliver their own justice.

Brown said: "As a whole, in the game, I think the officials can do better and protect the small players.

"If the officials don't do it, next time we play Keith Mason or Dave Fa'ologo are going to fix it up for us. That is the way it is.

"If one of my players took out one of their players late, I would expect one of their big blokes to do something about it if the officials aren't.

"I'll quite clearly instruct my players, if the officials are going to allow people to hit our key players late and in the head, you do it back.

"I've got some blokes who are quite capable of handling themselves - Keith and Dave handle themselves very well - and they'll be under my instructions, if the officials ain't going to look after the small people, to make sure they look after them - and don't hold back.

"Rugby league is a rough game and they played a little rougher and a little better than us today."

Sour grapes me thinks.

Was a sin binning perhaps but his reaction is OTT.

He will be in trouble with the RFL now.

What a gimp, lockers didn't even hit him in the head it was in the chest, and he was fully committed to making the tackle. Bloody ridiculous statement.

Well what a stupid thing to say especially to the media. I have no doubt coaches may say something similar behind closed doors rightly or wrongly.

Before the match he was our ally saying all the fuss about Wigan being negative etc was rubbish and last year it was Hudds that got it in the neck for their tactics but now they didn't get slagged off because the whingers had another target i.e. us. He also said we were not doing grapple tackles or chicken wing tackles just getting three men in fairly.

Dave

So you think the challenge was ok then?



It was cheap, late and uncalled for.

I thought Lockers did hit him late, but the way Robinson turn's when he's doing those switches are textbook. If you watch him he's very good at turning so the defense can't see the ball, sometimes he gives it sometimes he sticks, Lockers hit on suspicion. I did think it was high to be honest, but like one of the commentators said at the time, he only kind of shoved him, he didn't use the forearm or the elbow.

Oh, and I fully expect Lockers to get a lengthy ban, and Brown to get nothing from the RFL.

Mason's gonna get ya
