Radley’s counsel James McLeod is now giving his submission. He accepts Radley was “clumsy” and it “wasn’t a good tackle” but argues there was only low force.
“It’s not a forearm, it’s not a stiff-arm, it’s not a clenched fist as my friend suggested - it’s a grabbing action,” McLeod says.
He posits that the photo referenced earlier by McGrath was not taken at the point of first impact and says there was merely “incidental glancing contact” rather than a “flush” blow.
“[Radley’s] wrongdoing is limited to someone who got out of position threw out an arm, tried to grab the ball-carrier and got it slightly wrong,” he says.

Radley team arguing it "brief, fleeting , glancing contact". And now McLeod is back to the Rapana and Mitchell tackles.
Victor Radley team arguing the “only thing he got wrong at speed” was putting his arm out. There is no “launching, swinging, or clenched fist” they claim
mmm

Watching the video of Rapana’s grade-one careless high tackle from last year, Radley’s counsel James McLeod argues the Raider “has done more wrong” than Radley and is “at least the same level of blameworthiness”. He says Rapana struck Daniel Alvaro with greater force and his “execution was poorer”.
McLeod believes it’s “telling” that opposing counsel McGrath has opted to show examples of grade one offences instead of grade two.
He submits there are no characteristics of a grade two offence in Radley’s tackle, saying it lacked the necessary force, flush contact and culpability.
On the Latrell Mitchell example, McLeod says the Souths star was in a better position to effect a tackle than Radley and he then elevated himself off the ground - unlike Radley - to hit Garner.
