Chambers' crusher tackle

[kbw]

Also worth pointing out is the reaction from the rest of the Eels team, or lack of reaction. Usually players would have came rushing in for the ol push and shove act, but all parra players did was 1 player came in to give Chambers a rub on the head to say thanks for the penalty. Now that to me could mean 1 of 2 things, 1 - there was nothing in the tackle or 2 - the rest of the Eels team just doesn’t give a shit about Hayne

My feel was the reaction of the Eels players was stunned disbelief, basically saying "what the f**k have you done"
Shield you can't defend the indefensible if you keep trying you will end up a Souffs supporter

Yes adjudicating the game based on player reactions is the way to go.

There would be a penalty to melbourne every time one of their players were tackled if they did that.

Too late

All the tackles that have animal parts, violence adjectives, or just plain scary bits in their names, all originated in Melbourne.
Crusher, chicken wing, spleen cruncher, testicle burster, ligament disintegrater, the Slater "studs in your face while he catches the ball" . . . all of these were born in Melbourne.
Just sayin . . . . And while I don't particularly want to see people hurt, there was more than a sarcastic sprinkling of karma in Cammy getting hurt while being twisted around, a la WWE, the other night.

BAD KITTY !!!

Who said anything about adjudicating the game based on player reaction. All I said was he’s teammates didn’t react like players do when someone does the dirty on their teammate

Hayne's head goes ...back...and to the left...
...back...and to the left..."

Wasn't a "Crusher" but was just as bad he put his body weight on Haynes neck. Did the same to brown...

Storm have a problem with needing to wrap their arms around opponents head/neck in a tackle..

 

[chewsta]

The fact the merkin jumped before coming down on top of Hayne's neck and head area with all his weight, is proof enough that he intended to hurt Hayne. Hayne was going nowhere and the tackle was complete. Grub act from a merkin of a human. Should sit out the rest of the season.

 

[Illawarra Tiger]

Dreadful play that should be left in the professional wrestling ring. It was part reverse ddt, part stunner, part chartbuster, part diamond cutter.

 

[Sphagnum]

I never thought I'd see the day that a storm player committed a grubby act trying to maim an opposition player.

It's not their go

 

[myrrh ken]

Just some great storm technique

they were worried that Cam would reverse the penalty.

there had to have been a second contract.

 

[wibble]

Gone for three weeks, realistically should've been gone for the season. Particularly after they uncover that he did the exact same thing to Nathan Brown earlier in the game. If that doesn't explicitly show that this is a deliberate tactic to injure the opposition I don't know what does. Storm will be going Tonya Harding style next year and only getting fined.

Didn't see the Brown tackle until today, but that wasn't real good either. Very lucky to be playing finals this year.

Whatever we think of the Storm "wrestle" (I hate it but acknowledge all teams do it to some extent), there is no way Bellamy wants Chambers to do that shit. It can not do anything positive and can cause horrible injury, and for the Storm, keeps Chambers on the sideline, and a bad moment away from a huge suspension.

 

[Someguy]

He should be rubbed out for the season and then some.

Not sure why Gallen is throwing his opinion around on this one though, he pretty much killed Kyle turners career with one of his own grub tackles

 

[Generalzod]

One word that's describes Chambers tackle Despicable could have done major injury to the spine, this is the shit that the Storm introduced to the game do you love your handy work Bellamy.....

 

[Twizzle]

Prove me wrong than d!ckhead. It was not a crusher tackle

Proves nothing. With the incompetence of the judiciary, the smart option was taking the early guilty plea.
