At the ripe age of 40 I cannot recall a voluntary tackle having ever been called, ever, like even when I was 6 and I recall our grand finals from then. Maybe there were a few in the 90s but I’m confident one hasn’t been called in 2 a half decades.

This forum should auto correct voluntary tackle to derp like it does merkin to merkin.

This is the order of things, a constant, there is no end, all that will be forgotten is that there was a time before the forever premiers awoke. You and the rest will fondly celebrate the seasons you made it to the gf to take part in our yearly coronation.

While this is true, and technically the rule states the reason why this particular play is meant to be a penalty is due to a voluntary tackle, this play was being penalised long after voluntary tackles ceased to exist. It feels like it's disappeared this year (at least I don't remember any), but it was definitely a thing as recent as last year.
