Possible ,not likely though really. Reaching there I think

I would've loved to have seen this thread if the roles were reversed :smt005

What we do not know is what's happened since the game. Immediately after the heat of battle hands were not shaken. Do we know if since the two have had a chat calmly.

No clue. What we do know is that the citing officer (who has seen more angles of it than us) has not cited him on unfair play.

I am not going to tarnish a player's reputation and say it was a deliberate attempt to injure unless I'm 100% sure.. For me there are too many other things maybe happening which are more innocent.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Professional rugby players know when they are being held fairly and they know when someone is trying to do them damage. Wallers reaction at the time and his refusal to shake hands with Weise after the game speaks volumes.
I say again it was thuggery by Weise and I’m ashamed he plays for us.

If the roles were reversed and Waller tried to do the same as Weise with the same reactions I’m 100% sure there would be uproar on this forum, the one eyed views on here astound and sadden me.

Obviously the citing officer doesn’t agree with you.

So if someone is accused they must be guilty? Not for me.

It doesn't help your argument that Scott agrees with you :smt003

Haha fair play! So you’re questioning Wallers character then? I don’t buy the earlier theory that he could have landed funny ,had a twinge and then seen Weise there so thought it might have been him. That’s nonsense! So I go back to option A or B,Weise has had a nibble or Waller is lying and making a meal of it ,one of the two for me.

I mean I wasn't entirely being serious, when I said he was only :censored: because it was Wiese.

There isn't only A&B though. Waller was wound up as they were losing, at that point we were on top and it looked like we might get a good win. I reckon he lost the plot and just went over the top. He probably wasn't expecting Weise to offer to shake his hand and petulantly refused.

Fact is he carried on playing with no issues whatsoever. So I'm not sure what Weise could actually get cited for?
