Joe has had rotten luck while he's been here, and I think Rocky himself, as well as the fans, was looking forward to getting some game time in the halves, in his natural position
You can if the rugby league allow tackles that put Arundel out for the season .legs wrapped round his leg then throne to ground
Yeah I noticed that too. Makes the first yellow card even more bizarre when put into perspective, although Holmes (?) did milk it by flopping to the ground like a dead cow.

This. The TV showed slow motion replays of the incident and if the big screen had been available then I'm sure that dangerous leg entanglement tackle would have at least put on report. He deliberately attacked the standing leg and if he'd hit the standing leg around the knee with his shoulder whilst Arundel unable to defend himself as being tackled in a stationary position by another player the ref would have taken action. As it is no action taken and a player loses a year of what is already a relatively short playing career. Hope he makes a full recovery.

It was a judo technique that the Cas player appeared to use.....
Judo Leglocks
Jigoro Kano, the Founder of Judo by M. Kawaishi General Observations
The leglocks serve naturally to extort the opponent’s surrender, for once favourable contact has been acquired, their result is almost immediate.
But it is often quite difficult to obtain this contact. That is why the essential role of the leglocks–as also that of the Dislocation Necklocks–consists above all in determining defensive reactions which can be exploited in order to apply Strangulations and Armlocks.
'The object of the leglocks is to bring about sprain or dislocation of the knee or ankle which compels the opponent to surrender. The Sprain is a rent of the ligaments of the joint; the Dislocation defines a durable displacement of the articular extremities, properly speaking.'
It appears to be the 6th Leg Lock on the below hyper link...

Don't know how many black cats have been run over but it must be a few now! Gotta feel for Joe especially, never really lets us down, now basically 2 consecutive seasons out, all the best Joe, & Rocky too. I think we have had now 6 players injured since Boxing day! If Walker plays at Salford, that will be 3 different full-backs, and 3 different half-back parings and it will only be the 4th game!
Gutted for the lad.
