Chambers' crusher tackle

Good pick up.
This earlier image of Chambers also clearly shows it wasn't a crusher.

I actually agree it is not a text book crusher with pressure on the head.

But it is clearly high pressure on the upper spine combined with a jump that could have put Hayne in a wheelchair. It is not needed in the game, and 3 to 5 weeks seems about right.

Was piss poor from Will

I’ll defend my club till the cows come home but that is just downright stupid

Nah mate this is f**king LU, we have to defend the merkin no matter what until he leaves the club, then and only then does he become a grub.

 

[simmo05]

Its not his go

 

[Dragon Slayer]

He shouldn’t play another game this year.

 

[T-Boon]

At some point the coach needs to get suspended. Bellamy is responsible for all of these tackling techniques. Get rid of him for 5 weeks. Make him spend 5 weeks in Adelaide.

 

[T-Boon]

I will always despise Craig Bellamy for the exploitation of the rules and gutter tactics that he has introduced to RL.

Not enough is said about this.

 

[gUt]

Ryles must pay.

 

[The Rosco]

After close scrutiny of that tackle, Billy Slater deserves MOM.

Where’s the proof of his head getting bend forward then? Surely one of the thousand of cameras that cover games would show Chambers landing on Haynes head, but I for sure haven’t seen it

f**k you're an idiot

 

[blaza88z]

Extricate your head from your anus.

He can't tell them apart

Harsh but fair.

Harsh but fair.

Nah, Adelaide is a much improved city.

Ship him off to a real shithole like Melbourne....wait....

 

[McLovin]

If any major city sits at the bottom of the list it's Sydney and it's not even close. I can't wait to vacate this hell and move to QLD next year.

f**k you're an idiot

Prove me wrong than d!ckhead. It was not a crusher tackle

Typically with crusher tackles, the attacking player places their hand at the back of the head/neck to relieve pain. Hayne immediately placed his hands over his eyes. I think he was faking injury to get Chambers in trouble but I could be wrong.

You're a hard man T-Boon....but add to that the coach who's team wins the wooden spoon should face a firing squad before kick-off on Grand Final Day for the entertainment of all die-hard RL fans.

Hell I’ll even put an incentive on this just to make it more interesting. If anybody has proof, a video or picture from that other side, that clearly shows that this was a crusher tackle where Hayne’s head gets bent into his chest, then I will leave the forum for good

Also worth pointing out is the reaction from the rest of the Eels team, or lack of reaction. Usually players would have came rushing in for the ol push and shove act, but all parra players did was 1 player came in to give Chambers a rub on the head to say thanks for the penalty. Now that to me could mean 1 of 2 things, 1 - there was nothing in the tackle or 2 - the rest of the Eels team just doesn’t give a shit about Hayne

Nothing that wrong with the tackle to begin with.
Until he does his "little" jump which does push the head forward.

the guys is a prick but then again is only doing what he is taught to do.
