It's no secret Hors is an emotional character- he's spoken about it himself. He can get the red mist pretty easy. I see a lot of people cry when they are angry.
The tackle that got him was one of those grey area ones. It hasn't been outlawed yet because it does happen just naturally sometimes- of course you grab onto a standing player & pull him over if you can. And the instinct is to pull him back so he loses yards and it is easier for your markers vs forwards where he makes a yard & your markers then have to scramble back & you have further to run yourself.
It CAN be used as a sneaky "intent to injure" tackle but I wouldn't throw too many stones because I've seen Whitehead & Papa hit & pull people down in a similar way- some of whom were also injured as a result. Sometimes it's a full thumping ball & all wrap up on a player who has just barely been paused by someones first contact & other times when it comes in later it gets murky.
