what a tackle

[Sm1thy68]

looks like someone took many steroids before the match

[DenverOrleansfever]

fucking destroyed

[jay91074]

tackle of the season?!?!?! no way if it was the tackle of the season it wouldn't be a penalty Lmfao -_-

[mikaanisa]

and another calculator joke in the top comments...

[abschachi]

@mikaanisa yeah er.... potato was not available for comment....

[ciscokidd777]

point made, he had the ball, keep your head on a swivel kid. legit hit, maybe not so much the punch after he layed him out, but awesome tackle, worth the trash talk afterwards. football or rugby or not, thats an amazing hit

[taweraster]

@ciscokidd777 Agree, superb timing.

[flaxminster]

what he did after the tackle was uncalled for... someone should have "slapped" him one!

[taipan185]

@flaxminster totally agree.

[theer88]

1. Shoulder charges are perfectly legal in league

2. Contact was shoulders and bumped up afterwards

3. Shit bloke for the punch afterwards

[jdofb]

rules to rugby league stand in two lines run at each other as fast as possible smash in to each other kick the ball away sounds very technical to me

[rugbyking32]

which pixel is the tackle?

[Macky1991]

Rugby League is one of the toughest sports in the world, proven by the fact that that is a perfectly legal tackle, because initial impact is on the chest. I don't agree with the punch after the tackle, but when your knocking seven bells out of each other for 80mins..... tempers do flair so it's understandable.

The problem with rugby is, you get a lot of supporters who just don't understand the rules fully. Not to mention you get Union supporters claiming to be experts of BOTH codes _¬¬

[taipan185]

@Macky1991 Lots of supporters? League never had lots of supporters :P On the topic of toughness well all I can say to that is I doubt you'd ever see an NFL player lay a hit on someone like this without padding and a helmet.

[mitchellyatesy]

if you dont know the difference between rugby league and rugby union, then shut up with your rookie opinions...

[jhardyrules13]

Hahaha, he got fucked up! this is the only thing rugby is good for.

[ToGoodF1]

fuck up all of youse .... youse are a bunch of soft cocks.. Awen Guitenbeil hit Roosters second rower Ned Catic.. there the same size they play the same position.. Ned catic feel into the tackle, it was a good shot, all of you that said hes a midget, the guy is like 6'4 both of the players are same height ...so fuck up and suck it up

[ThexCATZz]

What a dick, he catches him off guard, has poor technique, and he's twice his size, and he still shouts in his face, not what rugby is about.

[rhynokav]

@ThexCATZz catches him off guard? eat a dick you fucking queer, he should have been ready, the ball was in his hands, why wouldn't he tackle him they are the same size, the guy was being a bit of a cock before this (still kind of un called for). and to sum it all up, its league not rugby

. have you ever meet Awen Guttenbeil to say that he is a dick?

[ThexCATZz]

@rhynokav u mad bro? rage more. this looks like american football to me. fucking shouting in someones face after you knock their ass out, great sportsmanship.

[matthewzoot]

Legal in League, not union. So easy to see which is the better more technical code...

[Cocotheclowification]

im pretty sure if a 6 foot 7 man got hit in the head by a flying midget with his shoulder he would drop to the floor, what a prick.

[JuiceyJEC]

pretty sure he hits him on the nuts before he yells at him haha

[RoflTimeOhNo]

WHAT A PUSSY! i dont care how big he is.. he did something illegal (i dont say illegal tackle because that wasnt even a tackle!) then he hits and shouts at him afterwards, biggest faggot of the year award goes to that douche bag...

[marimanque]

Thats a hit and its illegal in Rugby. PERIOD!

[krawatek]

it 's not a sport :)

[183yheke]

Mean hit but man i hate stupid awen guttenbeil he was shit and a faget

[maristsp]

this is how we dos it in new zealand. thats y we the best!

[Tykes94]

Can't beleive he stands up, hits him and yells at him. Gets a dirty shoulder charge and thinks he's the man, what a faggot.

[rugbykyle112233]

That was a massive high tackle , I'm surprised he didn't get a card for it but I imagine the guy didn't get back up :)

[SuperRedeyess]

League is a game played by men... That is all

[6eggc]

what a low life scum..in rugby you always respect your enemy,anyway that was a high tackle.

[UHtiger]

@6eggc are you kidding, rugby has its own history, eye gouges, grabbing balls, head butts. How is that respect.

[hugenoses]

@TheUberL33TFridge yeah league is a mans game mate not for pompous little rich kids with no heart

[mschurbro]

he always had a mouth on him lol

[gp11g08]

was this filmed on a calculator?

[kyle96337]

@gp11g08 original joke there

[TiN0350]

this is rugby league it's almost like american football without pads...shoulder barging and no wrap ups are allowed...toooo damn dangerous...union all the way :P but the guy got LIT though fuck.

[msonix]

for a comeback tackle, it was a good one.

For a standard tackle, straight to the neck, should have got him a card.

[fatsoblitz]

what player made the tackle?

[UHtiger]

@fatsoblitz awen guttienbiel

[droctagon3k]

bit of theatre, fuckin commentator, its called giving it to someone, as you should, as long as he can take it as well, theres no problem, its called sport. Fuckin wank.

[tomslc94]

the reason he got penalised is cause he was offside but the tackle was fine and legal this is rugby league is you dont no. great hit.

[TemakariniM]

shoulder charges are part of league, if you dont like it then stop watching you homo-faggots

[TheRis81]

@TemakariniM homo-faggots? comin from u? thats a bit rich isn't it mate??

[TemakariniM]

@TheRis81 nope not rich at all...

[TheRis81]

@TemakariniM yeah we know you're not rich buddy that goes without saying...

[TemakariniM]

Wow sorry dude...you must be gay or else you wouldn't have taken offence to my comment. Apologies to the gay community and Ris81; go watch some netball, leave league to the real men.

[TheRis81]

@TemakariniM dude, im not the gay....its your homo whooped arse seen comin out of the tool shed every weekend..... that shit must be even more painful than the rugby at times mate.... i dont know how u flamers keep it up.... look at hopoate, now there was a true representative of the rugby league stable. raving steroided up bum bandits...

[TemakariniM]

@TheRis81 Haha you got picked on at school by the rugby players...

[TheRis81]

@TemakariniM eh? nah man you're way off... we picked on the rugby players at school cos they were all wannabe hardcunts but they were'nt big enough to walk the walk....pussies

[TemakariniM]

@TheRis81 haha what a gay comment

[TheRis81]

@TemakariniM admit it, you're a big fan of hopoate...... those sorts of antics were just part of the good old days of the biff, not to mention a bit 'finger up the rectum' for good measure...

[covoniasweetpea]

what a cock

[footy6969]

what a cockface. first of all it was a shoulder tackle and it went straight into the guys head. so of course he is gonna go down. then to make it worse the tackler stands up and punches the guy and yells at him. What a fucken Joke.

[298Pulse]

lol not anyone can hit as hard as that

[jesuistahmid]

@298Pulse clearly you need to watch ice hockey ;)

[calponebond]

What a fucking idiot

[EPR89]

What a tool!

[hamostfinest23]

All you softies would complain about anything above the shoulder, than was just a good solid hit !!! The one that got smashed, that was his first game in the NRL... hahahaha... Thats the Warriors way of welcoming debutants to the big time... hahahahahahaha !!!!

[nathanomgnathan]

there wasnt even an attempt at a wrap

[DowntownBrowny]

@nathanomgnathan its league buddy. He doesn't need to use his arms.

[nathanomgnathan]

@DowntownBrowny oh ok then lol thanks

[Daniiel123LOBO]

he hit the other guy...

kinda 2 beast

[TheCrazyFinster]

wow big time tackle but i wouldnt punch him after hitting him that hard!

[needabloodyname]

hahah the commentry is even bigger than the tackle ahahh

[q060102]

everybody shut up! it was a fair shot!! thats how league is played. its a hard game and its usually the more physical team that wins. im sick of all u poms coming on saying its too rough. maybe if u all hardened up u might have some success against the southern hemisphere teams. . in rugby and league.

[akachris1]

Rugby League hey?.................

I'm already bored, most good players convert to Union anyway. League is just too simple to play.

[TheDave4108]

@akachris1 thats cause they kick at evry given option this is way more hard out than union is and will ever be.

[ThePhunnyCookie]

Unioin, is , shite

[alex525alex]

lol, this is a good example of why i love playing rugby soooo much...!

[000Dominik000]

BOOM!!!!!

[christheking]

Thug!!!

[q060102]

wat u on about? it was a good tackle

[519mac]

urrr no

[MrRugbyplayer9]

thhaaats rugby for ya

[UHtiger]

You don't know the circumstances, the guy he hit might have kicked him in the nuts earlier in the game.

[LeathalWorksInc]

dat maks no difference

[marvellousmadser]

Why did he start shouting at him afterwards? Oh wait, I know why. He's obviously an asshole.

[MrKiwi4life]

thats just the way it is mate,if the shoe had been on the other foot,the other guy would have done the same!but i see your point.

[Nikkola1991]

Theese guys from team to the right are pussies, they should brake his neck, in every normal club every player would deffend his teammates...

I mean he hit him even after the tackle...

[macio1981]

that was illegal and he should have been sent off. he had a swinging right arm and it was well high and for the whack he gave him after. what a prick

[Menla1]

that wasnt high at all, it was below the neck. it was only the punch after, and he did get sin binned.

what pussy fucks on that team not helping their teammate.

[Jonwallachio]

@macio1981 In rugby league, that was legal. It's a much harder sport than rugby union.

[olithegummybear]

its because its so fast which makes it more brutal... nobody realises it until they actually play both and compare them...

one of the best tackles i have seen great clip

[MulletBoyHolden]

Would have been legal in union too bro you could see him using his arms he just owned him so hard he fell out of his grip

[TokenPrideT92]

COP THAT COP THAT!!!!!!!!!

[xXMrRipleyXx]

not a punch a slap on the chest i was at the game.

[dushmannrc]

The commentator is a dick.

[DiLLoWfRaSeR]

that would have fuckin hurt

[geno0607]

i play rugby union but i can appreciate a good hit when i see one fucken awesome

[mactaba99]

did he tackle the guy right or no because my tpe teacher said stomach and above only please answer me

[davz1992]

as this is rugby league, pretty much anything goes except high tackles around the neck or head

[cartmann1]

he hit him in the chest which is a crash tackle. they're legal, can just go wrong

[BroomeBlocker3]

Your tpe teacher is an idiot, stomach and above? Your can tackle someone around the feet if you want. This tackle was perfectly legal, the punch afterwards, not so legal

[007short]

I agree on all of that , but i dont think he punched him , league players normally get down low just to rub it in and if he had punched him on the floor all hell would break loose. Its also better to tackle waste down , wouldnt you agree?

[BroomeBlocker3]

watch the replay at 0:28, looks like a punch. At the start about 0:10, you see everyone run in after he throws the punch, ref breaks it up quick though.

[GAMESGLORIOUSGAMES]

u can tackle sum1 anywhere so long it is below the neck or head

[halwil03]

no need for the afters

[loomanson]

another example of why we call it the mongerals game.

unions the gentlemans game

[cymruadam]

Wow, league is played by thugs....

1: That's not a tackle, that's a shoulder charge.... to the face.... anybody can do it

2: He then stands up and hits/shouts at the man while he's down. What a twat

[latebaroque]

yh but thats league for you, tbh its more fun to watch from a 'big hits and beat the crap out of people point of view'

[Marz2605]

@cymruadam harden up

[Ruthob22]

@cymruadam football is a gentlemans game played by thugs. rugby is a thugs game layed by gentleman..and super leauge.. i just don't don't

[Dizcinger]

@cymruadam Man you have to remember how much adrenaline will be pumping through that guy after he made that hit, shit happens

[jesuistahmid]

@cymruadam the whole thing would get you a red car in union (the tackle itself + the shouting at him)

[rototino]

@cymruadam It was a fucking comback tackle after the roosters player (gordan beale) hit him and then startd punching him in the head while h was down (the commentater says 'comback comback tackle) gt it right mate

iit was a good tackle!

[aidend1993]

@rototino "Cop that, cop that big time" but righto. "Comeback". English is harder than I thought. Appleberry pies.

[maristsp]

@cymruadam no my friend, not every one can completely destroy a man like that. . it takes alot of power, technique and a willing desire to rip someones face off and then ass fuck their dead corpse, or in other words- killer instinct lol.

[acabaramosdeguatemal]

@cymruadam yeah, you all right, this is not a tackle, the tittle must be say, "what a fucking bald charging"

[DepictedStudio]

@cymruadam Man your full of shit if that was to the face he would have been penalized but he wasnt, and in NRl league its perfectly leagal to shoulder charge as long as you take them to the ground.

[chris123454321]

That's not a punch. Nothing wrong with a bit of banter after crunching your opposite.

[justhackett22]

Saw this game. What a faggot, hits him high then punches him on ground, Morley fuckin dropped hima fterwards anyway.

[HayJ05]

lol that doesnt mean hes a faggot . it wasnt neck high and it was a great hit. He was pumped about the hit, thats a man!

[JRichens]

League looks like its turning into american football with those kinda celebrations....

Union all the way.. The real Rugby.

[chrisbemo1]

the gay rugby...

[warriorsadz]

Whats real about union? its more tactical with kicking n possession or w.e..you say rugby n u think of big hits and amazing tries..which is what you get more of in league

[marctheledgend90210]

ha......... really?

[Moari4lyfe1]

fuck union u should just call it afl...kick it

[GoodNewsBible]

NewZealand Warriors and Sydney City Roosters in NewZealand. Not too sure where.. Auckland maybe.

[corgraphic]

it was a great tackle..

but what i dont like is what he does after...

like many players do now..

it should be the tackle.. not the yelling or jumping on after

[ryko26]

quite right...what a cunt he must be

[jesuistahmid]

@corgraphic it was a high tackle... isn't that illegal? or no tackle rules in league? :P

[ryan111A]

he hit him in the balls after he made that tackle!

[bazza0333]

bit high lol good hit tho : )

[coreydec]

take that

[tahzstyle]

lol why did he get so angry? gr8 hit tho

[faaumu]

what teams are they?

[H1A2R3R4Y13]

pow rite in the kisser!

[TheNoobinator94]

I Know Its League Like But What A Tackle, I Love The Way That The Ball Goes Flying.

[manemustaine]

yeah boy thats how you do it. Huge hit, looks similar to the ones i used to do lol

[tompwnsnoobs]

served

[JoeHughes]

league sucks, slash.

[lanpirates]

the best tackle ever

[hemhemimakatekobum]

I remember on some program on tv they were interviewing Guttenbiel and he reckon that he was gonna tackle him no matter what and that he was just lucky that someone happened to pass it to him.

[dxrulz11]

that was the madest and biggest tackle i have eva seen

[joeytope]

wtf was he doin after the tackle fukin coksuker!! he made a good tackle so fukin wat if he wants to dance around after he should fuk off and play american football

[trogdor588]

Im gonna agree with you having grown up in the USA I hate that shit thats why rugby is better yea you make a big hit but the play isn't over get over yourself fucking prick

[vilma51kerney97]

Who is that?

[3PaNiCrOoMsCrEaMs]

BURNN!

[phatman5000]

Weee!

Anyway, I agree with jesus to an extent. I think soccer's popularity is in no part down to the fact you can pick up and play it, all you need is a round ball and a flat surface. To play rugby you need an oval ball and a grass surface, rough clothes or rugby kit and boots. One takes preparation to play light heartedly - the other requires the full getup unless you play touch rugby, which just isnt rugby.

[gkendall23]

that was a ridiculous, illegal tackle.

would be a red card in union

[liamgardinerrs]

lol

union

[SouthAuck]

Stupid coconut tackle. No fuking idea.

[elintee]

lol, you know u love it.

[jesus393993844844444]

Australia's new Number 1 sport

My argument is simple soccer is more popular than rugby league in England and France. It is the most popular sport in 226 countries in total. Nearly all of Europe, All of AFRICA, nearly all of South America, Most of North America, Nearly all of Asia, and many pacific island countries have football as their most popular sport. There are only 35 countries where soccer is not number 1. However countries like Canada and Australia soccer is no1 participation sport.

[UHtiger]

the reason soocer is so popular is because its a safe easy game to play. The reason other sports like league, rugby or gridiron will never take over as the dominant sport is simple. most people are too scared to play them,

[jesus393993844844444]

or most people dont even know rugby exists. Once Australia hosts the World Cup of football, Australia will be swept by football fever and it will put soccer @ d top.

[woolyback2007]

shut up u cunt

[jleahy07]

hahaha ur a steamer

[YouCanCallMePaddy]

WOW!

[JC12712]

@jesus393993844844444 haha your a fail, Australia will NEVER host the world cup

[marists]

i have to say one thng that WAS NOT A TACKLE that is a "lets run in and see if i cum out the other end" IT IS NOT A FUCKING TACKLE

[bradgrand]

i like the one wen morley smashes guttenbeil.

[brookslfc123]

stupid pric

okay good tackle, but why the punch and verbals?

[nan1303bre]

u need to see the build up to get y he dose that

[brookslfc123]

okay, why did he do that?

[nan1303bre]

at the start of the game warriors player was punched by that guy during the haka then there was a little brawl then punching was the outcome of every tackle

[tokzepplin]

Warriors vs Roosters

[woolyback2007]

anything below sholder hieght

[Sbazz89]

did he punch him?

[LukeM4014]

fuck me what a tackle

[karlhby]

the player who tackled him they both play for castleford but the bold 1 guttenbeils retireing

[liamgardinerrs]

the guy ducked so quickly he was not intentionally high tackling

if any of u played rugby

u would have that happen to you

[mnybgz]

yea it was offside call

[2Luke]

moybee tha tackou of tha sayson!

[franzousky]

I hope he was penalised for that, othrwise this game do not deserve the word of "rugby"

[Zitronekopf]

It's league, buddy; it's not union, but it's certainly still rugby.

[LondonSpaz]

haha thats revenge for you stamping on my foot earlier... little cunt...

[tahounez1]

lol good on ya

[singleporter]

That tackle wasn't high, he just cleaned him up across the chest/shoulders. The penalty was for offside.

[mancsaint]

I don't get it. How is that "the tackle of the season"? It's clearly high,
