Have to disagree with you for once gateman, when Diesel smashed Kelvin Skerrett in the premiership final I thought it was hilarious.
Yet when Mickey M “smashed” Kirk Dixon” I don’t recall seeing anyone on here finding that hilarious. The game, having played it for over 20 years at various levels is hard enough without the cheap shot merchants that are about. Thankfully, not as many as yesteryear when every team seemed to have one or two in their ranks.
The difference being Kirk Dixon is as clean a player as you will find whereas Mcillorum and Skerrett are/were vicious and thuggish.

Isn't that how some used to describe good old Ronnie Gibbs (one of my hero's by the way)?

Ronnie Gibbs cared even less about his own well-being than that of his opponents. Who can forget him staggering off at Trinity.

Sorry, I must’ve missed the bit where a players “niceness” was a consideration in this discussion.

McIllorum and Skerrett are/were thuggish, but paled in comparison to our own Malcolm and Dennis, who could put it about better than most. And perfect gentlemen off the pitch.

Guys,

There is no place for thuggish cheap shot behaviour in this great sport of ours as it is really hard on player's bodies with fair hard tackles already without trying to intentionally injure and maim opposition players and to accept this is shameful on those of you who accept this as part of the game. There are plenty of ex players who have finished up with hip replacements for example from wear and tear and some slower to communicate after the amount of stiff arms they have received.

This latest incident with Blake Austin is regrettable that he has escaped with no action as it must be apparent to all that , even though there is no vid on him making actual contact with Tomkins head, it can be clearly seen he is going around his torso and laying into the upper part of Tomkins and the end decisive result is a serious concussion which in my mind is conclusive enough to warrant a ban. Every player should have due diligence not to intentionally maim any player as this could result in his livelihood and his family suffering for years as a result.

Even though Tomkins is considered an unpleasant character,it does not justify players taking other players heads off. he has a family like all of us and it's their nearest and dearest who have to pick up the pieces.

Some of you need to take a good look at yourselves as to whether you are existing for good human practises or for bad !
