@mariner4life difference between a player launching at a guys head (Joseph) and a player positioning himself at a low position and then collecting a guy that is dipping (Tuputupu).
Whether I agree with the Tuputupu tackle or not atleast Union don't have the stigma of letting shit slide on a regular basis. Atleast they got it right last night but consistency would be great.
both the same circumstances, upward trajectory at guys slipping, but at different speeds. Rugby got theirs wrong, not league. You are just inconsistent depending on what jersey they wear, kinda like Madge above.
What gets let slide by the way? Those tackles happen so very rarely that it is a surprise. On the flip side, guys get taken out of games every weekend for failing HIAs. Because, you know, that's how you protect your athletes.
Just admit your comment is at least a decade out of date and we can all move on
How can you say they are both the same circumstances? Joseph is flying through the air, Tuputupu had his legs planted on the ground.
League let shit slide all the time, guys walking around groggy without any attention happens on a regular. Rugby act on shit straight away to the point it's sometimes overbearing as a user, but I get it, the players safety comes first. There is a clear difference between both sports in that facet of the game.
The total irony of your comment is that I think League are the ones living ten years in the past when it comes to acting on head knocks.
Agree to disagree and we can all move on.

this here proves you have no fucking clue. I do not agree to disagree because you are wrong.
Just quietly exit the league thread.

this is not recent fact at all, not in the last couple of years. With TV coverage and independent doctors. You might see someone walk around groggy but they're always getting picked up, if not directly after incident, within the next few minutes and assessed.

You obviously have no clue if you think both of those tackles are the same.
-
@bayimports it's happened in most of the games I've watched this year. I've seen four incidents in 2024 alone that absolutely warrant questioning but were never even looked at.
-
i watch 4-5 games every single weekend, sometimes more. I say you are talking bullshit.

how many games this year have been decided because a back has been ruled out for concussion that looked like nothing?

LOL
Reece wasn't dipping?
Tuputupu deliberately drove upwards in his tackle action.
-
FYI Grade 2 Reckless (not careless) High Tackle 1st Offence approximate range 4-5 matches, apart from Reece appearing to be slipping before contact, I doubt there is little reduction from that range
-
lol how good is Nate Myles giving Sua'ali'i a spray as he walked off? Origin is still great entertainment
-
So I just watched the clip to see what you lot are arguing about.
First look, Walsh looked to be slipping down ... I wonder if that would be mitigation enough to ensure a yellow in rugby?
I think it depends on when it happened in rugby
Couple years ago they were ultra strict on head contact, instant red
Lately seeming more lenientBut in this case, straight shoulder to the head, no wrap, has to be red in either sport.
-
Apparently no wins in Townsville since 2002 without SJ, let’s see if that continues
-
Ref has lost his shit. Sent Tevita Harris off for dropping the ball onto Chad Townsend's head, and sent Townsend off for escalating another little skirmish. Then tried to penalize the cowboys for a good hard tackle on Montoya, Cowboys overturn with a challenge
