It's bloody lovely. HahaIt wasn’t the fact he was touched while in the air, it’s that CNK had absolutely zero control in the tackle at all. If he grabs him in the air and holds him, there isn’t a dangerous position at all, but if a guy is in the air and you come through with an arm and take his legs out, it’s a dangerous position and zero control. He may have landed on his back, but while in the air, did his legs go past the horizontal ? Could compare it to a guy in the air after a kick, wrapping motion is fine, no attempt to tackle properly is not. Don’t know when the term came in, but have heard it the last couple of years about how the tackler has the duty of care when making his tackle, Charnze didn’t have that at all
End of the day, that wasn’t the worst call in the game, and we had a chance to defend it. Setting up for the droppie 3rd play before even exploring the Saab avenue was a poor option by DCE too. I thought the Harris try was worse, unless the bunker had secret angles, there was a hand under the ball when it first went over the line. I thought Garricks hand was clearly first to the ball as well, but we scored a min or 2 later to cancel that out
If that ginger headed clown is getting on the plane today, JT will probably be called out again. Did my head in the whole game watching how he would stand straight up after making his tackle, and the Warriors players would stand up and jump to the side to play it and the ref took it hook line and sinker, think it was 7-2 on the set restarts. Smart tactic by the Warriors which I’ve seen them use all year. Don’t see many players stay on the park for the Afoa hit either
Nice to be at the top of the ladder and get the calls

Until their are penalties it’ll continue, then they’ll adjust
Lol didn’t sit there with a notepad mate so haven’t got exact examples for you, but the eye in the first 30 spotted the Warriors doing the same stuff we were getting pinged for with no calls, but that’s footyIt's bloody lovely. Haha
But let balance out some of the calls.
Bunty late shot = 10mins (Arthur's getting up saved him, scored 2 tackles later so clearly unaffected, needs to learn to stay down!)
DWZ 3rd man in at knees by Manly = 10mins
DCE tackling Ford no try = technically correct.
Garrick tackle in air landing on back = technically correct.
Harris try grounded?
Saab 3rd try forward pass? Touched? Lead runners into tacklers?
SJ called inside the 10m, looked like he just sprinted out.
Might balance a JT square marker call I didn't see through by 1 eyed Warriors glasses.
Harper's double elbow to face. (Second movements)
Manly forward leading with head on Montoya leading to HIA and out of game.
Egan tackled by markers not square on last in front of post.
Garrick second effort on DWZ off intercept. (DWZ sold it so well!)
Need some more clear Manly examples to balance it up.
While the tackle in the air isn’t illegal, it’s hard to argue that he didn’t put him in a dangerous position. It’s going to be a polarising one
They really should change the rule in the off season. It makes no sense that it isn't illegal only because the ball bounced off the ground as opposed to not bouncing off the ground.
Will it count if a player is jumping for a pass?
Yeah I know and slightly agree.
With the media talking in awe of our season every week, it's making the other teams more determined to knock us. The opposition know (and so do some of us) that whilst we are winning, we're more beatable compared to other three in the top four. Well thats what I think.
That’s over complicating a simple enough solution

You mean like bring them down from the air carefully right? Yeah that's practical and more importantly - safe.
It will be hard to tackle anyone in the air safely. Unless both players are standing near still and there is no momentum or rotational forces in involved.
