Bunker bullshit, blunders and balls ups

Seen it, I get it that they protect the head and that's close, but he doesn't hit him in the head.

Another one like the Roger sin bin - it was potentially dangerous, but not actually dangerous.

i wonder if the neck is now considered part of the head. I guess the crowd reaction plus the fact the tackler started at a lower position and rose up in the tackle didnt help




this angle looks like the neck isnt even touched. Penalty for mind at worse but not a bin. /agree.
Having said that is there enough of a wrapping action? looks suspiciously shoulderchargey.

Yeah, they are told that making an upward motion in the tackle can be dangerous. And the neck should be protected. All things told, it's probably a penalty, is what I think I'm getting at. I don't think it's quite legal, but nor is it 10 minutes-worthy. I dunno.

His head or neck isn’t touched, the kid took a big shot across the shoulder, if there was any contact with the neck or head, he would have showed some pain and grabbed it, he just bounced off the contact and got straight up to play it

It’s a sad state of affairs when we are discussing that a tackle can be a penalty because of upward motion

Regardless of all that anyway, Klein came back down to the ref with “direct contact with the head with moderate force”, that didn’t occur, and if it did, should have been a send off and the little fella wouldn’t get up
