I've being visiting this forum all season but resisted joining until now, but the topic of Wigan's tackle technique is one I feel compelled to comment on.

In terms of players with injured joints from Wigan dubious tackle techniques; the list just to my knowledge is:

Chris Clarkson (by Lima)
Kieren Cunningham (by Sam tomkins)
Jake Emmit
Solomona (by Coley)
Sam Moa (by Coley)

Wigan's tackle technique isn't a secret, and has been well documented, read the link for more information: www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2011/ap ... n-warriors

A number of coaches have spoke out about this subject including Mick Potter, John Kear and Nathen Brown.

Surely our game is tough enough with dangerous tackle techniques

All coaches have spoke after defeats! Smith never moaned about our defence when they beat us at our place!!
Huddersfield were the 1st to use 3 men in the tackle but that doesnt suit an anti wigan rant!

I will give you another Tuson on Wilkin, even Jon Wilkin couldnt believe it! Do you think that Spear tackles and late challenges with the elbow are better than ones round the legs?
