Can’t believe what the game is coming to. That was not bad enough to warrant a red card by any stretch of the imagination.
I saw the front on view and can see why. In the twitter version above, Higgers only appears for effectively a couple of frames.
In the angle from behind the Rebels player, he's got a few metres to run in, never even looked like lifting his left arm or lowering himself into contact. Philp wasn't falling at all. It was the sort of stupid idiocy we've come to expect from Higgers, though Queenslanders won't hear a word against him.

More angles in this tweet:
22 seconds in. There it is. Red and nothing but. Here's his quote from the post-match:
“I was just going in for a tackle,” Higginbotham said after the match.
“A two man tackle, one bloke goes low, one goes high.
“We practise that in preseason, I’ve been doing it for 12 years.”
Fucking denial

I'm thinking collision. Yellow for me.
You're an idiot @booboo. End on angle is clear red.
Higgers is an idiot. Waste of talent.
I can see where that idiot @booboo is coming from, at a first glance it just looks like a bad collision, but the other angles show it to be worse.

Yeah - first glance, I wasn't sure. But those other angles - you can see his eyes light up and his stupid mouth mumble "fuck yah, gonna kill this caarnt".
And then claiming he "didn't have time to wrap his arm around"... maaaate, you had pretty much reached your arm right round your own waist, in the hurry to get that shoulder out way in front of any other part of your body.
Fluffiest of bunnies. -

He's done three things wrong - he's gone high, with no arms and then neck-rolled the guy into the ground. How dumb do you have to be?
Fuck him.
I have no problem with him being red carded.
Edit: for some reason I hadn't seen those other angles - no question after those!
