Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days.

It appears to be a shoulder charge as it didn't look like there was any use of the arms. The point of impact is unclear from that video, could be a shocker, might not. |

Did the ref give a penalty?
If he did then he should've dealt with it there and then and not put it on report.
As said above, it's difficult to see the point of impact but it goes to show why we have to be careful with high tackles. The players are continually getting faster, stronger and more powerful and, personally, I think we're on a fine line before somebody will be very seriously hurt. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't all this start to take precedence, when tackling became less around the legs, and more around the waist to trap the ball?
Yes, players are more stronger, faster, and powerful. But it's only percentages, with initial contact being higher up on the body, that more of them will make contact with the head, than say 20-30 years ago?
Also with the addition of the 10 metre rule. I'm no physicist, but wouldn't that also increase the force of the collision and initial hits? If we're talking about player safety being paramount, then perhaps both of these need a look at it before anything else.

Broncos v Bradford Oscar Thomas on a break steps the last man who smacks him in the head, bit of a clothesline. Broncos get a penalty but no action on the Bradford player ffs
