Below photo is a perfect example of why this crack down is over the top and why going low is not a solution. TPJ has turned to the side and is committing a shoulder charge here which the defender is not allowed to do. If Radley goes low he has a pretty good chance of getting knocked out by a hip, elbow, forearm or shoulder.

Go around the legs/ribs then. Works for Jake T.

More defenders get concussed than ball carriers.

More defenders get concussed tackling high than they do tackling low.

Kaufusi needs to clean up his game, gives away far too many set restarts. He's lucky to only have one charge from last night...

Out of all the grubby things Kaufusi does, it’s pretty ironic that such a nothing play gets him suspended for Origin.
I reckon the first tackle of the game needed further inspection.

Geez... they saw a cash grab opportunity out of Sims there...

Knees contacted the head. Sims was one game back from a suspension.. if it was in any way Sims fault, how the hell did this not result in a potential suspension rather than a fine...

No logic there. Origin coming up perhaps?

It was absolutely accidental IMO, farce of a charge in the first instance. And that it’s a fine...

There's a code the charges come from mate, they don't just pick random punishment. The base penalty for a Grade 1 Dangerous Contact to head/neck is $1500. It wasn't hard enough to warrant a Grade 2 which would've seen him suspended.

It's touch and go as to whether it was accidental IMO. Argument could be made both ways.

I reckon Sims lifted his knee to try to protect his legs and ribs from the third man in as he was getting lifted.
Poor old Liddle just happened to lean in as the knee come up.

Falling Teddy gets hit in the head, it's report and bin.
Teddy hits a falling player around the head, penalty and nothing to see here.

This is of course the real test of how serious the NRL are going to be. Will Teddy get charged?
You can bet the house, he won't be.

Don’t think there was much in it, mate. Even with this over-the-top high tackle edict were currently enjoying.

Can anyone explain to me how Frizzell got charged ($$fine) by the match review, but there was no penalty given during the match ?

Then Croker was penalised for a "crusher" on the field, but hasn't been charged at all by the match review?

It is absolutely farcical how the left hand doesn't seem to be talking to the right hand.

Fix it V'Landys, or resign.
