He's a moron who got off lightly. You should be thankful.
It also clearly shows the point of Evans' shoulder hitting Parker in the jaw tbh. On the day I felt it was chest to head, but it's been pretty clear since that it wasn't.
His suspension isn't an issue, it's fair. What is the issue is guys like Burgess and JWH getting off for similar and perhaps worse shots.
Was he charged with a shoulder charge?
My point is that he came in hard with his arm targeting the upper chest of Parker and with his body angled to maximise impact. He didn't come in high (or he would have missed as Parker lowered), he didn't come in with a swinging arm, he simply came in with a hard tackle. Sure it didn't end up well for Parker but tell me again when hard tackles were ruled as illegal? Kane's shoulder hitting Parker's jaw is a by-product of the way Parker approached the tackle, not as a result Kane tackling him around the chest.
And his suspension sure as f**k IS the issue. He shouldn't have cited by the MRC and he shouldn't have been suspended for the most important match we have this season.
Correct me if I'm wrong but forceful contact to the head (in this case the jaw) with the arm/shoulder is illegal and that's what happened.
I also think JWH should have got a week too.
Was he charged with a shoulder charge?
I don't get it though. You can't attempt to make a hard tackle just in case the guy falls and you end up contacting the head?
Yeah but in this case he fell before the tackle. Or at least before significant contact. In real time Evans would have very little time to adjust.A player falls every tackle (when he goes to ground). It is up to the tackler to stay away from the head.
How much you askin?Totally unrelated but I just came into possession of a bridge that I need to sell.
Anyone know anyone...?
It's still the defender's responsibility to avoid contact to the head.Yeah but in this case he fell before the tackle. Or at least before significant contact. In real time Evans would have very little time to adjust.
Like when Inglis would all of a sudden be pile driven head first at the hint of a tackle regardless of where he was going into a tackle.Yeah but in this case he fell before the tackle. Or at least before significant contact. In real time Evans would have very little time to adjust.
So you think evans is a grade 2 .... what would be a grade 1?It's still the defender's responsibility to avoid contact to the head.
The NRL is a joke.

He was charged with high contact...and you've just posted an image showing high contact...
You especially are brighter than that
