Originally posted by Yak View PostThe movement that causes injury in that situation is external rotation of the arm. For the most part BJ only applied force to flex Ferguson's elbow not externally rotate it. It was made to look worse because BJ's other arm was forcing Ferguson's torso downwards meaning movement of the arm was suddenly isolated. While BJ certainly controlled the direction Ferguson's arm was moving in, at no point did he actually take away Ferguson's ability to control his own arm by grabbing it with his hand. As has been said, if Ferguson lets go off BJ's jumper then Ferguson would regain control over the direction his arm is moving.
It was obvious milking, firstly because he was smiling like an idiot afterwards, and secondly because the range of motion his shoulder got pushed into would not have caused pain. The elbow to the spine he was getting would have been more painful tbh.
BJ will have a case to answer because the NRL will see this as a way of showing that they're "getting tough" on wrestling, when it's quite obvious that this was not a planned wrestling move to slow down the play the ball, it was a young bloke getting held by the collar that got pissed off and did something that was a bit stupid.
