Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2666763, member: 1899"] I can't be arsed going through the various rule-books and guidelines. Archer was quized on it on RLW TV. He said that the contact cannot be considered late, high or dangerous. Now, it's entirely up to your view of dangerous contact but to me, a tackle that causes a player to suffer a lateral ligament tear in his knee is most certainly dangerous. I'd also consider it late as well. Intent doesn't matter. It didn't matter in Round 1 when the Knights player accidently kneed the Warriors. It didn't matter in 2012 when Hoffman socked Bailey in the face when he was trying to knock the ball loose. The fact is, Graham committed to a charge down very early, lost control and ended up seriously injuring the opposition halfback in the process. If we're using that interpretation, Reynolds didn't deliberately delay his kick - Graham just dived way too early and very recklessly. [/QUOTE]
