Disagree. I still think at the end of the day he was taken out off the ball by a "dummy runner" who was nowhere near the play. So now its OK to take people out if they are dummy runners and the defender makes the mistake of being in the way? Disgusting decision IMO, at least it had no bearing on the game though.

if it's nowhere near the play then it's play on anyway. Its also a prime example of the player committing to a tackle before the man gets the ball.

I'm not saying its obstruction. I'm saying a player is getting taken out off the ball, when it is nowhere near the play - where it happens is not relevent in this case.

I'll watch it again and will happily correct myself but from what I saw last night, IMO Leuluai took the players out, regardless of their attempts to make the tackle. What could they have done? Stood there and got poleaxed? Moved out of the way?

Explain to me how its OK for Randall to be completely taken out away from the action?

Is that generally acceptable now? If a player flies out of the line in the centres, they can flatten their opposite number even if the ball is on the other side of the pitch?

Its in the rules that players can run dummy lines, the ball was passed behind leuleui so there was no obstruction and therefore a fair try. It was the quins player who bought the dummy and went for dummy runner instead of the player with the ball.

I mean get real, you should know the rules

I am aware of the rules, I understand dummy lines, I understand the fact it was passed behind Leuluai, I understand where was no obstruction, all I am saying is from the ONE time I have seen this on the TV, it looked like Leuluai took a man out off the ball. As I have said, if this isn't the case and the players were drawn to Leuluai and not the other way around, then i'll hold my hands up.

Having calmed down since last night, I don't think anyone was particularly at fault and we were just outclassed on the day. Looking forward to next week and beyond already

In the wild and wacky world that's London RL, it wouldn't suprise me if we put 60 past Wakey next Sunday.
