If we are penalising careless high tackles, we should also be penalising careless flailing of your boots when you know a defender’s head is nearby. I see no practical difference.
We all know that nothing will happen here though because Latrell would likely cry persecution and get Anthony Mundine on the case.
Anyway, here’s hoping that if AJ is out for an extended period, JC rises again and delivers us to the promised land.
