My PVR locked up just before the end of the first half, so I didn't get to see the McKinnon 'elbow'. Can someone describe it in a bit more detail for me? Was it a one on one tackle?
i don't believe there was any malice/intent in it ... but the guy (cross - prop) did it several times in the game, only on the other occassions he got people in hte chest or neck - so it seems he has a tendancy to go into tackles with his arm cocked
with the wade incicent he made a strong run right on our goal line and half got through the defensive line - one of our forwards went in around his mid section (from cross' right side) and wade came in from the back and eventually another parra forward came from the leftside after wade was hit - the guy's left arm was cocked and it was more his forearm just below the elbow that hit wade - wade was pretty much upright, not bent much, cross is tall, his elbow was up around wade's head height from the start ... wade never played any real part in the tackle after contact - he pulled away immediately holding his face ... cross then continued across the line taking the guys trying to tackle him with him .... interestingly enough, had wade not copped a forearm in the face he probably would have been able to prevent the try, being the only person actually tackling from the front (but we can't say that for sure) .... wade never went to ground, he quickly walked off to the sideline holding his face obviously in alot of pain
arse clown clarke ignored morrison's IMMEDIATE pleas that we had a guy taken out ... morrison was coming from cross' left, never really got to the tackle but was right next to it when the contact happened and was pointing it out immediately .... but arrogant prick clarke just awarded the try and then proceeded to treat morrison like a 4yr old and never listen to him, cut off every sentence he tried to say and told him to shut up and go away
