Hitching your wagon to the bunkers interpretation of the rules is doubly hilarious. It was such an egregious tackle, that it was play on until Tino sooked it up. Luckily he was able to play on at all to he honest. Lucky he's not wheelchair bound. It's unlikely the "worst crusher you've seen in years" only garners a grade 1 charge either, but play on.I watch almost every game in every round.
It's incredibly rare that a player loses his feet and puts his weight of pressure on the neck like that.
There is a reason why he binned for it, i can't remember the last time a crusher got binned, because most of them are fairly innocuous.
But the referee explained exactly why that was and why they considered it particularly dangerous, and the MRC has confirmed it as such.
But go ahead and check notes about who the dogs are playing next week, and then check your notes on who Preston plays for and who you support and have a think about who's biases might be more at play here.
What goes into that milk in Canberra? Why do you all turn into soccer mums foaming at the mouth for send offs and automatic weeks for every piece of incidental contact.
