Just curious as to why that high tackle on David Simmons went unreported. Worst I've seen in a while and with tackles like Glen Stewart's on Fui getting reported just seemed odd. I'm sure the dogs fans wouldn't mind if he got a few weeks based on his effort against us.

Where you at the game or watching on TV? Replays show there was nothing in it. Penalty yes, but didnt need to go on report imo, it was just a lazy arm he hung out, it wasnt swinging or didnt have any intent.

I know it looked a bit spectacular but you will see worse head highs every single game.

Fair call I guess intent is the main factor. Looked crazy on tv, good to see Simmons get up straight away I'm sure some players would've milked it more.

My first thoughts were the same as yours but after a few more looks it was nothing, he just collared him really.

I think they decided a more fitting punishment was to make She Rex play again next week. Doesnt deserve a holiday yet.
