Actually Dice I had the same thoughts as you about that tackle
Walker was lucky if you can say this that his shoulder and not his head made contact with the ground - I put that type of tackle in the same category as head slam , back slam and third defender attacking the ribs of the ball carrier tackles which should be dealt with on the field - penalty/on report / sin bin or send off.
In my mind that tackle on Walker was deliberate same as the head slam and the third defender attacking the ribs tackles on Keary.
There a lot more tackles than just the defender contacting the head or neck of the ball carrier to eradicate from the game - i have also noticed an increase in head locks which are pretty dangerous as well.
I think a Penrith player was penalised for one in either the Tigers or Sharks game ?
If a defender can be penalised/ put on report/sin binned/sent off for making contacting with a ball carriers head or neck why then can a defender put a head lock on a ball carrier and it not be deemed as making contacting with the neck as well?Last edited by King Salvo; 06-16-2021, 12:49 PM.

It's now OK to trip and I called it a few weeks ago that it was a safer way to do a low tackle. Last week Api Korisau tripped Johnson in which it connected and brought him down and all Api got was a fine. A couple of years ago JWH copped a weeks suspension for a trip that didn't do as much. So if it's the last minute of the game and the scores are tied and Cleary makes a break and is going to score a try, Teddy, just stick your leg out and bring him down....it's only $1500 these days and no concussion problems...
The old days the player was sent off for a trip.

That tackle should be looked at for sure and i have seen an increase in these - ball carriers arms pinned and driven into the ground by 2 defenders as there no way the ball carrier can brace themselves for the contact with the ground.

over then that’s a trip.

"When tackling a passer who is in a virtually defenseless posture, a defensive player must not unnecessarily or violently throw him down and land on top of him with all or most of the defender's weight. Instead, the defensive player must strive to wrap up or cradle the passer with the defensive player's arms."
