Wigan Warriors • Wigan v Sts discussion - THIS THREAD ONLY PLEASE

I specifically said you aren't condoning it, Stu. However there is a lot of excusing it from Saints fans in general. I see the frustration with the three mentioned but I also see a lot of the "not really their fault but need to learn" or "not that sort of player" type of comments when it's quite clear that the sheer number of offences indicate they are exactly that type of player! For the avoidance of any doubt, I am not suggesting they are intentionally setting out to injure but they are clearly reckless and not learning from it.

Whether Sironen's latest example was a fraction of a second from being a good hit is irrelevant in his particular case. You could equally say it was a fraction of a second the other way from being much worse! The point is, he is constantly doing this type of late hit. Some worse than others, of course, but ALWAYS running the risk of injuring someone. That's reckless. The odd one from a player not known for this type of tackle is one thing but this is why 'previous' is taken into account.

You also get the daft conspiracy theories but we'll leave that out of an adult discussion
