You can add another,
I can see the potential he has and I thought the tackle was just a great hit, the sort of hit that ET put on several times in almost every game of his career. His arms and shoulder were around the waist his head beside the hip all the way through the tackle, absolute copybook.
If there are no more charges similar Bird will have every right to feel very hard done by, but if there are more charges I think League will lose a lot more fans.
If this sort of tackle is now illegal then I for one will quickly lose my interest in Rugby League, hard defence is what makes it such a good game. Back when I played casually I would have been forced out of the game because this was the way to put a good hit on (mind you if I wasnt allowed to do it at least I would probably still have a fully functioning shoulder).
