Peter Gough described the tackle by Waddell as being with the "bony part" of his arm, by that, he must have meant the hand, because the tackle was nothing more than a slap across the face.Watching the game (yes, I'd had a few), but the high tackle from Waddell and shoulder to the head from Paseka appeared basically simultaneously, yet the rap sheet shows them exactly 1 minute apart. If they can't get the basics right, it's no wonder fans are losing faith in the integrity of the various NRL departments.
Also, the MRC and refs again show how far apart they are in interpreting the game, Haumole getting binned for a grade 1 high tackle. Manly were bad but the Leichhardt calls certainly had an impact on the game.
