Pot and kettle springs to mind after watching last night's Stains v Leeds game, James Bell seems to be using the Asiata approach to tackling, by throwing himself at players legs.
Didn't hear Wellans apologize for it after the match

Weirdly, he didn't see anything wrong with his players challenge on Cooper?

not sure if Asiata did Dupree in the 2nd half yesterday. Will need to watch it back again to see the tackle, but Dupree stayed down for a second and then went off shortly afterwards
