Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

It was bad as in it went wrong, but he did the right thing and controlled it and pulled back from a spear.
That's the key difference. If you are going to lift, you have to be in control and use that control, if it goes further than you expected for any reason, then you have to pull back, hold it, basically the tackler has a duty of care and for me. As soon as it went above horizontal Deleny recognized the issue and made it safer. And took the penalty for it.
This is the thing with a lift (I've noticed Walsh likes to lift tackle too). It's effective as it makes sure the player goes down, but it does have a risk. As does a big tackle on the shoulders. If timing or positioning is out it's up to the tackler to adjust.
I'd expect a warning letter over tackling technique
