Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2143157, member: 1853"] I completely understand where you are coming from bianc, but what I am saying is that we should be applauding the NRL for FINALLY trying to do something about it - not just going well they've never punished it before they should continue not punishing it. I'll be pretty peeved if they just punish this one and don't continue to punish it, but I am hoping this is the start of the end for the grapple tackle. And it's not an anti-Melbourne thing; I'm not anti-Melbourne per se in fact I was one of their biggest supporters until they starting over-using the tactics that they do (not just the grapple but a lot of other things they have introduced to the game). I am not denying all clubs use some form of wrestling techniques, but the Storm take it over the top to the absolute extreme where it is really really dangerous. And personally I would be just a critical of the Broncos if they were doing it to such extremes. One of the reasons I didn't want Bellamy as our coach - I had visions of him bringing the same tactics into our club and that is something I just can't support. [/QUOTE]
