Paul Gallen flattens David Stagg

From Round 20 Cronulla Vs Brisbane.

Paul Gallen found himself on report for this shot on David Stagg which left the Brisbane player rather dazed on the floor.

No stranger to a disciplinary committee Paul Gallen found an ally in David Stagg’s wife whom Stagg said thought he was falling into the tackle. Whilst he will have to wait at least a few days to find the outcome of being placed on report the decision will no doubt be down to viewing the incident as careless or calculated.

Personally I think it’s a lazy tackle, Gallen not getting down enough and just throwing himself into Stagg.

Where the hell I’ve been

For a man who runs a website I seem to spend alot of time without an internet connection, so having moved I spent various amounts of time and phone calls trying to sort out a new connection, arguments with BT, problems with Virgin and I'm finally there. I have plenty of plans for the site and I'm hoping to get it going with regular contirbutions again and as always people are welcome to join in and contribute.

Hopefully I'll be getting along as of tomorrow with amusing videos, witty observations and what not and even though I'm living in Cumbria I'm living in the wrong part for rugby league and I'm without satellite or cable so it's back to internet viewing mainly.

In the meantime however I'm going to raise a drink to my beloved Widnes and celebrate the fact that we have now ticked at least one box for the next round of Super League licensing.
