Thaidays Tackle On Newton???

[antonius]

You blokes are missing my point. Dangerous tackle = When a player is lifted above the Horizontal. Newton had his legs above his head when Thaiday let go, That's a dangerous tackle. I'm not arguing that it was as bad an end result as the Buderus tackle, I'm saying if they are consistant Thaiday has to be charged.

 

[Alex28]

So you guys are saying you can lift the player past the horizontal and then let go of the player, and from there it doesn't matter how the player lands? And on this basis you can get off a suspension?

You Bronco guys are dreaming...you lift in a tackle and the player goes past the horizontal, then he is guilty of a dangerous throw. Thaiday was just lucky that Newton landed the way he did.

Watch a replay of the Ciraldo tackle of Withers in rnd 26. Lifted him past the horizontal, but let him down like he was a baby.
The league does take into account, big time, the way a player lands.

 

[Alex28]

We'll see...I reckon Thaiday's done for the year (whether it deserves a suspension or not, he lifted and is guilty of a dangerous throw/tackle and will be found that way).

 

[Mr Saab]

He wont cop a charge.

Yeah that tackle lost the game for the Knights.............

 

[strewth_mate]

I don't understand all this talk of consistency.

Didn't some people say Buderus' charge was too much? Why would we want someone to be charged with an inconsistency as the precedent, in the name of consistency?

Who said it did dickhead?

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

So you're saying it's better if the player is dropped instead of lowered. Right...

Yes because the player in defence isnt adding there force into the tackle.... Ideally its better to lower them softly to the ground as you do see happen on occassion, but dropping is better then adding your weight/force to the tackle.

IMO Similar tackle and atleast a grade 1. After what happened to Buderus with a perfect record and case to argue, no charge would be a slap in the face.

Which cheek would you like slapped. ;-)

 

[Alex28]

A little surprised it didn't get a grade - only in the fact that there seems to have been an effort to stamp out lifting in tackles. I personally didn't think it warranted a suspension but surprised none the less.

The NRL have set themselves quite the precedent there though - doesn't matter about lifting past the horizontal any more, as long as they don't land on their neck it's fine.

 

[Master Vippo]

Im not too sure about precedent in the judiciary, it doesnt get followed too often once it is set.

 

[Swampy]

Sitting there on the boat nothing much happening then thru the secret lure out and then.......... BANG Alex28 on the end of the line.

 

[Master Vippo]

So you were trolling?

 

[Alex28]

LMAO...man what a secret lure you have - an absolutely irrelevant comment which makes you look nothing more than a dickhead.

Bravo champ...bravo.
