Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2790930, member: 8215"] It was typical reactionary NRL, they cracked down on lifting tackles because the most extreme of them would typically be the cause of something like this, even though the actual tackle was borderline at best. If a proper court was to examine this exact case, there's no doubt they'd find the tackle pretty innocuous. To be fair to McKinnon, he did what he did because he thought he was going over, so even if his actions were decisive in causing the damage, they'd be considered as something akin to defensive injuries. The thing that might SAVE the NRL is that the tackle was so malign. Had a crackdown been put in place earlier, I doubt it would have prevented a tackle like this anyway, purely because there was no malice or even recklessness. Just a leg pull gone wrong, so arguably no carelessness either. [/QUOTE]
