How do you determine intent?

If Napa came screaming out of the line with his arm perpendicular to his body and slightly behind him, then there probably is intent to commit a dangerous tackle.

Reckless - Heedless of danger or the consequences of one's actions

Careless - Not giving sufficient attention or thought to avoiding harm

Intentional - Done on purpose; deliberate

Which of these descriptions fit Napa's tackle? None.

Look at the photo in my previous post. Which of those descriptions fit Mcleans's tackle?

Careless. Definitely not intentional and probably not reckless.

You ask the right questions , however come up with wrong answers......

Reckless and Careless both fit Napa's tackle .....going in with his head as the lead and arms on his side........looks like a HEAD MISSILE.......STUPID is what is missing from your three options and then he should have been found guilty of STUPID , RECKLESS and CARELESS.

your response is , is it was NOT CARELESS , so that can only mean his tackle attempt was done well with CARE ........LOL ........

So leading with your head and dropping your eyes should always be penalised regardless of point of contact?

How about re-reading my post. I said both. Being lazy and leading with the head and dropping eyes is a dangerous move. It forces the tackling player to have no view of the attacking player when contact is made. Sims shouldn’t be worrying or stopped from stepping due to Napa’s laziness.

Napa should receive a warning from the Nrl about his tackling technique. And forced to change it slightly. He can still have the same impact through his shoulders if he keeps his head up closer to impact. Lessens the chance of things going wrong.

Thought this was a really good way of arguing the referees point of view; until I read the third bolded part. Not sure how you got to that conclusion from your definitions there....... quite clearly both.

It should have been a send off and 3 weeks.

Reckless action which leads to head contact. Duty of care is always with the tackler to avoid contact with the head.

Even when said opponent slips 1 second before Napa initiates contact...?

Sims didn't slip he saw Napa coming and tried to step him. Napa going for a hit and getting stepped and throwing an arm out that comes into contact with the attackers head is careless but jamming his head into Sims face was reckless and stupid and at the time I thought he would have been sent off for sure. If he does the same thing to a NSW forward during Origin watch for the outcry and demands that he serve a lengthy suspension.

Well the MRC thought Napa has nothing to answer for. So did pretty much every veteran RL player, but I guess some random blokes on an Internet forum know better

Silly me

If he didn't hit him with a Chris Benoit finisher, he would've hit him with a shoulder charge

It was careless, reckless and he should be rubbed out for life, a real dog act

NRL CEO Todd Greenberg admits match review committee got it wrong on Dylan Napa’s tackle on Korbin Sims

NRL boss Todd Greenberg has conceded his match-review committee blundered in failing to charge Roosters forward Dylan Napa for the knockout tackle that broke Korbin Sims’ jaw.

In a wideranging interview in reaction to the NRL’s crazy weekend that included a timekeeper stuff-up, a send-off and 14 sin-bins, Greenberg admitted Napa’s head clash in the dying moments of the game against the Broncos deserved a suspension.

Wonder if the NRL are going to fine the broncos for skeletor’s comments?

If not, the bulldogs should sue them

Greenberg only ever says what the mob want to hear.

He can see those north of the tweed sharpening their pitchforks and preparing to invade the town on a witch hunt.

Greenberg - “he shoulda been rubbed out!”

Mob - *puts away pitchforks*

Job done.
