Fifita tackle

[Russell Crowe's Band]

agreed
im aslo quietly glad he isn't playing the brincos as he's never played well against his mate lodge

 

[Defer to the coifed]

absolute f**king rubbish. It was a flop. Nothing more , nothing less. Fifita got suspended for "what" he is, not what he did. i.e.. Luke Keary does that tackle, nothing happens.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Few weeks off will do him good, don't agree with the suspension at all but we need a fired up fresh fifita going towards the finals.

Yeah surely Fifita’s tackle was no worse than Bateman’s.

What a gee up

It was though. Completely worse.

Nope. Fifita flopped his guts onto his head, a split second later and he's already horizontal. Bateman clearly headlocks him then drops his weight onto him. I don't even understand how Fifita's is called a crusher tackle unless any contact with the head when completing a tackle falls under the crusher umbrella. Accident vs intent imo.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

100% correct. Flop penalty at worst.

The Fifita gut splash off the top rope is the best move in wrestling.... I mean rugby league

 

[imasharkie]

well hopefully it will teach Fifita a lesson. He flops on players all the time, usually 2nd or 3rd man in. I wish he'd cut that shat out.

Hindy made a career out of it.

Nothing malicious in it but careless at the least. Different situation when you have 3 guys completing a tackle and the attacker gets his head in the wrong place.... Buritos' one and the other one that copped 3 weeks from the Goldy game were almost identical....both grubby and careless. Was blown away that they contested it tbh....was always going to end in tears. Guess it shows how much the Tongan game meant to the big fella.

Like our early season injuries, this adds to our chances of being there & firing when it matters.

Uele starting against the Dogs you reckon? Or Williams?

Sure Woodsy is looking forward to returning v the Dogs....I'd start with Uele. Has earnt the opportunity imo.

 

[Card Shark]

Yeh, Uele is starting material!

Too many one eyed supporters here.
Fifitas WAS worse.

No it wasn’t but your right I am one eyed supporter

The other Fifita tackle that the raiders players couldn’t handle got hit of the week on some NRL page.
Pretty funny reading the comments
Most dopey f**kers thought it was the tackle that got him suspended.

His aggression is what makes blokes have a second look when taking a hit up.
I wouldn’t change him for anything.
He’s a fierce front rower
A f**ken GF winner and a winner of a GF.

 

[Surely]

Even fifitas knees hit the turf first so the guy on the ground didn't cop the full brunt.

 

[SharkShocked]

As far as a classical 'Crusher' tackle goes, no Bateman's was worse in terms of technique / classical terminology.

But no sharks supporter in here thought he would get off surely, not to mention his practice of dropping his entire body weight (on usually already tackled players) was always going to end up this way sooner or later.

Normally its just a penalty, this time worse.
