Or does it make him re sign?I wonder if this makes Aaron woods available?

About the Munster broken jaw, there is absolutely no reward for tackling low, in fact you are punished. If munster had tackled low on pates 1 of 3 things would have happened
1. Munster chops him down low, another player goes to help, 2nd player is penalised for a flop
2. Munster chops him low, doesn't realise in a split second after the player hits the ground, penalty for 'holding down'
3. Munster let's go quick enough, oates gets a quick play the ball, Melbourne defend of the backfoot for the rest of the set.
There's no reward for a low tackle. You leave yourself open for off loads. But more importantly the quicker you bring a guy down, the quicker he can play the ball, if he can play the ball before the defensive line has got back ten then the attacking team can create all kinds of havoc
Almost every player can offload now days if given the chance, it's just players are rarely given a chance as players go High first.Munster was asking for trouble tackling head to head--as I said,he had from ankle to chest to hit Oates!!
Off-loads????How many players know how to do that efficiently???
There's no reward for a low tackle!? What was Munster's reward;a broken jaw?? Remember;Oates was just running the ball out from his line--no way he was going to off-load there!!

True. No ruck penalties for slowing the play the ball, flops plus no risk of an offloadWhen you have a player trapped in goal, going in low is by far the best option. First man goes low, second wraps up the ball, team is rewarded with a goal line drop out.
You know it makes sense.
except that he was in the line and out of position which lead to thaiday scoringThis Brad Abbey has been really really good tonight.
He's played better than what AJ would at fullback. Got a smart brain this young Abbey.
That was probably Hasler' instruction though and it was only tackle 2 or 3.except that he was in the line and out of position which lead to thaiday scoring
