I am a big fan of the biff.
However those days have gone. If say Wardle, Ukama or cudjoe come in and give Tasi a crack, they are looking at a minimum yellow card on the day followed up with decent ban.
We are then even more on our booty come Friday.
Then theres folk on here slagging off the player "for not being smart enough" and "not thinking of the team"
I do however agree that we should be being more aggressive in the tackle and trying to hurt them the right way.
The Salford players were up for the niggling from the off. Harris said as much in his post match interview - it was a deliberate ploy.
And what happened? Fartown rolled over and let them do it. They got bullied all over the park.
It should have been sorted out by the players long before the referee had to do anything. Ironically, if it had have been then Tasi would never have needed to be sent off because it wouldn't have got out of hand.
There's being smart and keeping the penalty count down. But there's also getting your booty handed to you on a plate. You know Tasi has been on Twitter taunting Fartown and Paul Anderson for being soft? I don't think the thought of facing the Giants is putting much doubt into the opposition players at the moment.
I remember Nathan Brown once saying that, if the referees didn't protect his half backs, he'd send out his props to do it instead. Can you imagine our lot trying that right now? They'd end up flat on their arses with sand kicked in their faces!
