2021 Rd3: Non Parra games

What is the actual rule with that tackle?

There isn't a specific one (as the 3rd man in didn't hit the guy in the legs), but it could come under Misconduct (contrary to the spirit of the game etc).

Given the way he did it, it might also be caught by the shoulder charge rule (he did eventually use his arms).

I think that as long as as it's not a shoulder charge (debatable imo) then it's legal. Ref had a good view and said it was fine.
Yea that’s what I thought. I guess if the attacking player is still fighting in the tackle and the ref hasn’t called held it’s fair game as long as you hit them above the hip, which he did.
