Yeah I just read what the geniuss are writing in the readers comments section of the DT. As if they are the same tackle.
Simmons had bounded off the right foot and was nowhere near his normal height, similar to Tonga being lower in his run as well.
Bottom line? Either both should've been the same charge, or neither be charged at all.
Even if Vatuvei escaped suspension on a charge - fine, but recognise his tackle was "as dangerous" as Pritchard.
Make it a black-and-white issue on blows to the head.By making any hit to the head a penalty and suspension it would create a standard that everyone would have to live up to.
No grey areas on whether the player meant to do it or not.No grey area on whether the player who recieves the blow had lowered himself making it difficult to avoid being struck in the head.
No second guesses,you hit a player in the head,you are penalized,Period.
