‘Done 100 of them’: Roosters star Keary’s confession reveals NRL big hip-drop problem
‘Done 100 of them’: Roosters star Keary’s confession reveals NRL big hip-drop problem
![www.foxsports.com.au](https://content.foxsports.com.au/fs/electrode/favicon/foxsports.png)
Tatola always had his feet planted on the ground and simply grabbed Kennedy by the waist and dragged him to the ground. He didn't lose his feet (Fuimaono) or come third man in (Carrigan). It's unfortunate Kennedy got injured but absolutely zero wrong with the tackle. If you're going to charge that we may as well play OzTag.
Are you purposefully daft?
You make a claim that a hip drop tackle is only with multiple tacklers - I showed that this hasn't been the case.
You could have conceded that you were wrong. Instead, you say is it's hard to define - I gave a pretty clear definition.
You suggest that Fuimaono's tackle was more of a "trip" - but it wasn't by any measure
You suggest it was just a tackle to get them on their back - but neither player ended up on their back and I referenced it wasn't a tackle technique by a wrestling/BJJ leverage technique to get an opponent to the ground.
It's much simpler - the MRC are just incompetent and inconsistent with what they charge and that have benefited some teams over others.

"It's not a hip drop because it's one on one"I think you are comparing apples to oranges here though.
Those individual tackles are more a slinging tackle

Paulo denies he made hip-drop tackle despite match review charge
Junior Paulo apologised to David Fifita and maintained the tackle that ended the Broncos star's season was not a hip-drop offence.www.smh.com.au
Paulo made a point of apologising to Fifita after the 26-12 victory, but was adamant he had not made a hip-drop tackle, which involves a player dropping his full body weight on to the back of the attacking player's legs.
"It's not a hip drop because it's one on one"
"it's not a hip drop its more of a trip"
"It's not a hip drop, its more of a slinging tackle"
What's next - "it's not a hip drop, it's more of a sharpshooter".
If the NRL allowed a classic legs tackle to be considered dominant and gave some leeway to allow players to slow down the ruck if they did a classic tackle, then some of this would be removed from the game.
3 man tackles are a blight on the game. I'm very confused what a hip drop tackle is tbh. You cant tackle below the knees third man in and you cant tackle around the waist and pull the man down. How did our simple game get so complicated??
Turpin will be out for a while. He wasn't running as fast as Dale was but more blood was spilt.
Surely the people defending Carrigan tonight just walk in with the footage of what Nathan Cleary did to Billy Walters
He got a fine for that, that's all he got. Just because Hastings has a broken leg as a result of the tackle shouldn't be what determines the punishment, it will be though, sadly

What's the difference? if anything Nathan's was worse as he was the only person in the tackle and had full control over where Billy could end up
Shouldn't have even been a penalty. The game is in all sorts reallyBrandon Smith has been charged from the Storm v Titans game but only facing a fine. Charge is Grade 1 Dangerous Contact Fine is $1800 for early guilty plea, or $2500 if found guilty at the judiciary.

I'm not sure it should have even been a penalty. It is completely different to what carrigan did.
