How did Corey Parker stay on the field for a blatant elbow to the head? 3 weeks on the sideline at least.

For what it's worth, Tony Archer has gone on record saying the Roosters player (Guerra?) who held Ryan Hoffman back off the ball in the Roosters vs Warriors game should've been binned.

In theory a player could get 10 minutes for two play the ball infringements but stay on the field and be put on report for a head-high or spear tackle. That sounds totally out of whack to me.

You can be sin binned for "needing a rest" or what ever the terminology is, so yeah.

That was 100000% worthy of a send off.
Love Bae and there was no malice about it, just a tackle that went wrong but it went TERRIBLY wrong and thank god the player wasnt hurt.

That's a send off

But why do we see that tackle 3 times in every 4 rounds at least without a sendoff?

We don't, is the answer.

Correct.

Now according to Fox Sports that’s the first send off for a dangerous throw in 24 years.

While you could easily argue that in that period there are plenty more that SHOULD have been send offs, it really doesn’t matter.

Looked at in isolation, that’s the kind of tackle we don’t need in our game. It was head first, he was driven into the ground, it was a horror show.

I’m sure he didn’t mean to do it, but it should be a send off every day of the week.
