I think there are a few flaws in your argument JB. Just because some blokes end up with concussion because they get their tackling technique wrong I don't think we shouldn't try to minimise concussions and protect players if we can.
In the case of Taumalolo, I was getting sick of losing blokes to failed HIA's for similar tackles. In other words we would lose a player and tackles like that only went on report and we got no advantage at all. I had no real complaint about the two last night....but I don't really want to defend the NRL just yet because I will probably be on here screaming about this after tomorrows game. As an aside both Taumalolo and Burr are looking at one/two weeks after being charged.
Lets hope this thread tomorrow is about a strong win and not other stuff. At least we don't have the refs that usually screw us over but Cecchin was dreadful in the round before last week and was dropped. Missed a few things and every thing he sent to the bunker he was overruled. Generally I think he is one of the better refs though. Generally.
