How far do you take it though? Do we also say you cannot tackle an attacking player in the air. Unfortunately injuries happen and if Turbo or Uate had the balls to take the ball on the full it would not have happened. It is not like they didn't have time.
I am going to defend Macca here. Broncos were on top and Manly were out on their feet hence Manly were kicking for touch. Macca turning them around on the 4th caused their forwards not to get to too many rucks which nullified Tapau to an extent. I thought they were good decisions.
