Josh Reynolds (spoilers)

The 2 greatest exponents of the wild, un-neccessary kicking and thrashing in rugby league tackles in living memory are Mick Hancock and Justin Hodges. Both Bronco's.
Their indiscriminate and "accidental" kicking of tacklers was disgusting to watch, for many years.
Now, let's not lose sight of the fact that Reynolds is a grubby little prick . . . but isn't the irony of a bronco's player finally getting it back a beautiful thing ?

Just noticed watching the replays that Mahe Fonua had a nice attempted trip on Dane Gagai's try out of dummy half last night. Guess its the case you can't get cited unless you actually make contact though?

He might of put a bit of "drama" in going down. But let me put a pair of footy boots on and kick u in the face and see if u go down clutching at your face.

Except he got kicked in the face first

Just watched a replay of the shitbags efforts. One thing to pre-empt the following observations, I hate Reynolds as he is an absolute grub.


I rewound both incidents 4 or 5 times.

1st, contact was with Thaidays shoulder, there was absolutely no contact was with the face, not even close to that massive melon. Sam took a dive, no doubting that. Anyone who honestly thinks Thaiday didn't dive, you're kidding yourself.

2ndly, With the "trip" I'm not sure if he made contact with Barba with his hand before his foot made contact. Very hard to ascertain what made contact first.

They are the only things that will save shitbag from a 6-8 week stint on the sideline.

If players want to convert the trip into a legal tackle they should study Jeremy Smith, he has creamed players like SBW single handedly all his career by throwing them over his thigh with hands coming into contact miliseconds beforehand. Reynolds was just a blatant trip, only because he realised Barba was going to pass him by

First contact was the shoulder but you're kidding yourself to say there was no contact with the side of the face.

there's no doubt Sam got kicked in the face, not by the leading foot but the other foot

obviously his face wouldn't of worn the majority of the blow but I invite you to cop a football shoe to the face and not go down

and this "accidental" crap needs to get thrown out, do you think Jordan Mclean dumped McKinnon on his neck with intention of putting him in a wheelchair?

TBH if his arm makes contact first (very difficult to ascertain), in a technical sense it certainly is.

so you're telling me because his hand might have feathered Barba before Reynolds reacted with a careless kick ending in a trip that you can defend that?

f**k me, I need you as my lawyer
