Not arms. Ask the NRL and their apologists. Obviously the 'arms' have been photoshopped.

Come on Willow these NRL P&*':_&ks have no idea.

They have every idea. It just doesn't fit with the fans' point of view.

Every major sport is guilty of hypocrisy. The thing is, they don't really care about that.

Happy to debate further.

The NRL is officially targeting Ravalawa… an instinctive bump driving with the shoulder at hip level becomes a three week suspension. Nowhere near the head and in no way dangerous. Dragons mgmt need to show some stones and challenge this and weaponise the NRLs overly harsh focus on Mikale

Ravalawa has a worse judiciary record than Josh McGuire! Time to sign a new winger to rake outside Lomax

 

[Maddragon99]

Straight answer: It's not a shoulder charge. Just a great tackle.

You can see it on the replay, happens in the 77th minute. Rava lines him up and hits hard and low, gaining possession. It was pretty much a match winner, I think Canberra only had one more set after that.

We should applaud these type of tackles.

Ravalawa now has a worse judiciary record than Josh McGuire! Time to sign a new winger to rake outside Lomax

Source? Rava is a tremendous winger. Tonight he would have scored a try or two.

I would rather debate with the pricks who think they know how to tackle then scrub a Dragon player out. You are a Dragon just monitor the language.

Yep we do miss him in the back field
Not back until R21 against the Bunnies unless we claim he would of been selected for SOO3
He does qualify for QLD does he not

Well... he was born in Fiji, lived in New Zealand and has represented Fiji in the World Cup... and he played some junior games in Canberra and played all his NRL football for St George... so yeah, QLD will see that as enough qualification.

Thought so, they need him

Maybe I am simply one eyed however the Tino tackle on Addo Carr when u watch it is shoulder impact hard to the back with no arms wrapping around. Then he makes a late play with his arms.
If Rav did that he would get another 4 weeks.

Shoulder tackles aren't done by any players in the NRL except by Rava didn't you know this? The refs only want to penalise him, put him on report and the judiciary does the rest. Of course Tino tackled Add-Carr with his shoulder first but as far as the guys on Nine's WWOS commentary team were concerned, it was legal and that is that.

Next!

 

[Trifili13]

It's obvious that it's legal to tackle with your shoulder when you aim for a players unprotected kidney area where serious damage can be done but illegal when you use your shoulder for a front on tackle.

 

[rasaint]

I didn’t miss it either. Straight out shoulder charge into kidneys followed by belated right arm slight wrap. Surely the club must be seething at this shocking judicial decision on Rava. Forget we must be on the outer due to sausage gate; have we opened official representations for a review of Rava’s suspension. Its seems to now being swept away, like the send offs, 10 in bin retreat. Disgrace.

Yeah, we all had the same comment independently watching here too

100% but this is origin and different rules
We all know that
But when it’s the Dragons.. wait there we need to start protecting the players and how dangerous is that tackle

If that had been Cleary Joey would of bagged it to the high hills
Play on
