How so? Did he stop a try being scored by going down in the defensive line or when the opposition had a lot of momentum, which is what this was brought in to try to prevent?

Faraimo gets a 2 game ban, unbelievable really. 170 minutes he will miss, because Dagger found the floor and Faraimo had absolutely no time to pull out

Maybe he shouldn't be running at full pelt so he's got no control when the ball carrier doesn't stand still for him?

Thats a crazy idea

The RFL and officials are ruining the sport, yes there is a case for player welfare but the players also know the risks they are taking by playing the sport. F Its getting to the point with the Faraimo tackle that players can no longer be expected to tackle anyone incase they may or may not go to ground like Dagger did. If thats really how the RFL and officials view things then the game is finished as they may as well give players ribbons to put in their shorts.






I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

But there is nothing natural about finding the floor playing Rugby League. Sidestep Faraimo, and Faraimo goes past him, stand your ground and take contact in the chest. But you don't just go to the floor!!

Didn't seem to bother the disciplinary committee when Currie went full pelt into Fusitua and knocked him out. I think that, as ever, the main issue people have is with the inconsistency of it all.

So you want players to just have a leisurely jog when chasing kicks now?

He's got a good record and that's why he got a grade A, next time if he does it again he won't be.

Faraimo has got a rep for hitting ppl in the head going back 3 or 4 years. He's only got himself to blame for his previous indiscipline

Faraimo yes, so he doesn't take anyone else's head off.

Also why doesn't he bend his back and Try to do a legs tackle?

Any chance of you throwing some of your outrage at faraimo for not being able to tackle properly?

Thats easy for you to day, you're not a sitting duck, waiting to take a tackle from buretta faraimo, who has form for hitting players in the head, instead of tackling them properly
