The worst tackle in Rugby League history…

Post by josie andrews »

Rugby League is an incredibly tough sport, everyone knows that.

With massive hits traded throughout 80 minutes, things can sometimes boil over.

But, every so often sometimes things go too far, as this clip of Allan MacMahon throwing Mick Ryan into the ground back in 1979 shows.

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Cassidys on Morley, I thought he'd killed him, a bit of forward retribution in that tackle
