Message: [QUOTE="Midean, post: 3263943, member: 10185"] Apologies, it was a tipping tackle, so while it was illegal, it was not a spear tackle and we see plenty of those tackles each week that are nothing more than a penalty. In fact, the only reason Mclean was rubbed out for seven weeks was because of the severity of Mckinnons injury. FOUR weeks were added to the suspension which was originally 3 weeks based on the outcome of the tackle. This is the point though, these incidents, are freak accidents. Banning tackles that have a long history of minimal risk vs outliers of sever outcomes are not reason to ban the tackles. Also do you have evidence that the shoulder charge, when performed legally, was more dangerous? The only times i recall it being an issue is when it was used illegally, like when Inglis blind sided Dean Young from the dragons and shouldered him in the head. [/QUOTE]
