I think this is where everyone is at the moment as far as tackling technique goes.

You have Tallis and others that say we should tackle lower or better, but rewarding legs tackles went out the window years ago. Lately if a player makes a good one on one legs tackle, the player with the ball riggles out so fast and falls over, he receives a penalty. And its worse when you have a player making a good covering tackle but then the attacking player gets injured, the defender gets on report for a supposed hip drop. So what do you want players to do, because they are taking those risks of low tackles.

Those one on one tackles we used to see with Jorge Taufua, Nigel Plum etc, where so great to see back in the day, but I fear players today would get penalised for tackling too hard.

I agree @Eelementary and @PARRA_FAN. I think the best thing that the league could do to stop the head high tackles would be to make all 1 on 1 tackles classified as dominant, to allow the defender to hold on for a few seconds, or to allow some leeway for a legal flop by a second player within a second after a one on one tackle.

Maybe the flop thing won’t work, but what I am trying to think about is how to ensure that when a team makes a break and the fullback makes a cover tackle with no one else around the current situation of a quick PTB can continue.

Keep things the same, sin bin the shit out of the head highs, whats the problem?

Maybe 'on report' if the attacker has slipped, by a good way, not a couple of inches

The good coaches/teams will adjust. They have to otherwise they will have a couple in the bin most games

Key factor is consistency, I think this is the bigger issue than anything else

Also bring the fatigue back in reducing the interchange from 10 to 6

Maybe we should go the way of the NFL and have a stoppage after every tackle. Then there's no advantage to wrestling or slowing the ruck

I wonder if St George supporters saw his act as noble when they came up just short in the GF that year.

Realistically he’s got next to fk all credibility. He was signed to play with the Dragons and chose to not honour it.

Clubs are just as guilty of not honouring contracts.

Just remember, he didn't get paid that year. He could have taken the cash from the Dragons and f**ked around all year and somehow that would be honourable?

He stuck to his decision which I respect.

He spat the dummy cos he to move to Brisbane for even more money while his club, who he signed for, busted their arse and made a GF.

He actually signed with Brisbane with over a year to run on his current contract thinking he could bail from the ARL to Super League.

He’s the last person I’d ever listen to about contracts being honoured. I’d bet my left nut he got paid while he sat out. Money was getting thrown about left, right and centre during the SL War.

The absolute king of contradictions…

“ARL was all about money, Super League spoke about their vision for the game.” Please…

“Your word is your bond. I said I was going to stay in Brisbane and wasn’t going to play for the Dragons again, so you can’t go back on your word,” he said.

Followed in the next breath by:

“Loyalty is irrelevant. If someone offered you four times your salary to work (somewhere else) your wife would shoot you if you didn’t go.”

instead of holding the ball, we use just our legs, then there will be no need to tackle to wrap up the ball near the head. We can add a net to the goal posts so it doesnt accidently hit a fan in the head

@T-Boon are you writing this down mate?

Its a dally messenger moment. Maybe it will be played all around the world one day

You've read the article incorrectly Matty. The "loyalty is irrelevant" quote was made by Kevin Neill, not Gordy.

There aren't any contradictions in what Gordy said.

Fair enough. Gordy is a dick. The prosecution rests your honour.

The judge finds in favour of Gordy being a dick and having an eighthead.
