| Quote Father Ted="Father Ted"The third man tackle on the standing leg has almost disappeared.
Lima got binned at Leeds for a tackle on Clarkson and was accused of tackling the standing leg. As Clarkson was running at the time and not stood up and stationary, therefore not standing, it seemed a curious interpretation.
What appears to be happening now and was done by both Wigan and Cas in last night's game is that when two men hold the ball carrier a third man, it seems, is now allowed to come in and tackle around the ankles. This has been done by Wigan and all teams they've played over the past number of weeks.'"
I think you've probably hit the nail on the head there tbh. |

The point with the Clarkson one was that it looked worse than it was and to me at the time hoffman and Hansen (I think) were as guilty as Lima for the position they put his body in, they seemed to take him in the same direction from where lima was coming, I didn't think there was much wrong with what Lima did as all players are coached to take the legs of a player if he is still driving forwards. The reaction of the leeds players didn't help and it was at a time that this type of tackle was being hightlighted.
Bailey did the exact same thing last week on mossop but yet nothing was said. |

Watch the game again, Cas used the 3 man tackle as well. When Wire beat Wigan at the DW they used the 3 man tackle all the time and beat us at our own game. Everybody is whinging about serious injuries caused by this tackle technique but where is the proof and stats to prove it, there are none.
By the way congrats to Cas for the way they played, the youngsters stood up and should be aplauded.

| Quote Geordie="Geordie"The technique is coached right through the wigan club from there 15s scholoras all the way up. The call is to "Snap the Pole"
2 tacklers hold the player up and a 3rd man comes in from the side and attacks the standing knee with the shoulder.
It can only be designed to injure
I heard one of the Wigan coaches at an under 20s game earlier in the season rollock a player in the warm up with this sentence "Dont leave him standing, snap that f**ing pole"
It needs to be outlawed.'"
Actually we've moved on to shooting opposition players, and drowning all their children.
We're Wigan you know, it's the only way we can win.

It was against us and did indeed result in a bit of handbags. |

A freeze frame of the tackle made on Clarkson in the Leeds game by Lima clearly showed that his leg was mid-air.
I totally agree that the tackling of the standing leg should be construed as illegal but the ref got it wrong that night as he couldn't go to the screen or consult the 4th official to ascertain whether the leg "attacked" was airborne or with its foot firmly implanted on terra firma.
Still, if people want to believe the propaganda that our coach is responsible for a new tackling ethos, let their uneducated minds think that.

Try as hard as you like but 90% of fans were them Wigan only do it Glasses!
I have also said this about the proof this tackle brings injuries. Lima hit a moving leg behind the knee making it bend in the way it should. Im waiting for whoever tackled Emmitt to be banned!!
Ryan Bailey did it on friday but funnily enough it wasnt mentioned!

The handbags came from Sinfield and co running in crying, the ref wasnt giving a penalty till then! |
