Yeah nah.

Anyone who plays into the line gets tackled. Don’t wanna get tackled? Don’t dig into the line.

Sure but that's my point.

Sims isn't tackling Reynolds. He's just lining him up to belt him. If he was making a tackle there's no issue and no one says "wHaTs He SuPpOsEd To Do???" because he's actually tackling, not just thumping a dude cos he's little.

I'm ok with that call tbh

Blokes need to learn to stop lining up playmakers with the intent of ironing them out regardless of when they pass. People will say "he couldn't have pulled out" but that's because these guys shoot out intending to iron out halves with force rather than making a tackle.
I get what you mean… if a defender arrows out and absolutely spuds the bloke I’m ok with relative penalties but if they run to the line and pass they’re fair game in my opinion..

Also did Adam Reynolds do something we don’t know about? Every team is trying to smash the stuffing out of him each week.

I don’t agree with your logic.

Should the little guys run slower so the big guys can catch them?

Dragons have obviously come into this game predetermined to smash Reynolds and it clearly isn't going to work out for them.

Pretty obvious the broncos have appealed to the refs behind closed doors for teams to stop hitting Reynolds because without him they have nothing.
