Ryan Atkins : Sat Mar 28, 2009 4:14 pm  

Just watching the re-run, bit of a naughty tackle on Wheeler, who was obviously injured.

Leeds (Bailey) were penalised for the same thing last week.

Aye, there was no need for it. Wheeler pulled up well before he got to Atkins.

Did Atkins know he was injured though? From recollection he came from behind another player, so perhaps wasn't to know he hadn't just slipped.

He knew, it was obvious Wheeler was injured wasn't making an attempt to regain his feet; he had a few seconds with Wheeler in full view before hitting him.

Yes, that was mean and totally unnecessary. All he had to do was touch Wheeler to secure the tackle. Wheeler looked like a rag doll underneath him. He went down pretty hard and didn't seem to express any regret afterwards like some players do.

Must admit lads it was a bit poor of Atkins that. I dont want anything like Bailey creeping into our side hope thats the last time I see something like that.

If it had been a sainted Saints player who did this would you be commenting - no - take the blinkers off and move on
