In an artlcle on a web site 'Keeping Stock' Isacc Luke has addmitted that he deliberatley tried to break the leg of Rangi Chase in the recent NZ match against England.
Will this mean a further increase in his ban. See link below.

Some of Issac Lukes comments really surprise me.....either I need a lesson or two on heritage and archives or he needs help..
I played for 15 years opposite some good mates and 2 relatives and I would never of dreamed of breaking a limb, I would like to remind them that they had been hit in under the rib cage with a pat to the head but nothing illegal.....the man has a problem with reality.

He said as much in an interview here in Sydney on Sat. that he was trying to break Chase leg in the heat of the moment (and in his next breath) he was going to fight to get his 2 match suspension reduced.... what a clown.
I made a wrong comment the other day when I said (this has recently come into Lukes game)......looking back on it I can recall throughout this season he has probably done the driving into the knees of an opposing player being held up by team mates on at least 2-3 other occasions which brings this disgusting coward of a tackle to something like 5-6 times this season he could of ended omeone's career and it needs to stop right now.
The international rugby league need to put in place an automatic 4-6 week suspension for anyone attempting this driving into knees tackle.
Luke is not on his own with this driving tackle I've seen Cameron Smith time his tackle wrong and end up hitting into a players knees, what's disturbing is a mate of mine who frequents the junior footy to watch his son said it is creeping into the under 15-16 which can still result in ending a players career whether they be established test players or a kid running around for his local club.....we don't need this rubbish!!!..cheers

Aussie posters often describe Isacc Luke because of his on field tactics. I don't think their wrong.

If Luke gets himself all worked up because Chase has turned colours the join England......lets face it we all know it's not because he has all of a sudden become a royalist or Henry the 8th fan....it's a bloody career move just like we all do at some stage in our lives.
But if this is enough to get Luke all hyped up, then what is the HAKA doing to blood pressure just prior to a game....it's no bloody wonder he comes on from the bench for N-Z most of the time otherwise he would be getting sent off with all the hype.....

Jeff Lima copped a ban last season for drivIng into the knees of a player as he was been held up. It's a real cowardly act in my opinion and should warrant a 10 match ban

Chase wasn't that good throughout the series anyway Burrows should have been wearing the no7 shirt

Barra, the thing is, we have a go at selectors for continously selecting name players in front of form players and then when they do select as in this case an in-form player we also give the selectors a gob full.
I'm as guilty as you because I thought Tompkins should of been in the halves somewhere....????

We are all arm-chair experts after the event......now I'm not having a dig at you yourself, but we all fall for the trap after the event....
