Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2103754, member: 1764"] Exactly, like I said, tricky, and why I still believe injury should be completely ignored in decisions. It should only be judged on the danger involved, and the likelihood of injury occurring, not the likely severity of injury. And yes, it would have to take into account that injury can occur in any tackle. So therefore weigh up the actions the perpetrator did to increase risk of his victim. eg, lift them and drop them on their head. To be honest, I think Hayne's was probably less dangerous because he DID drive Carroll, which meant he tipped more than vertical and so landed on his upper back with the weight almost backflipping. Rather than Hodges who lifted Riddell vertical and let him go, meaning gravity took Riddell almost directly head first - luckily his shoulder made first contact. Though it still could've caused a serious neck injury, and I have no doubt he did suffer neck soreness from it being stretched and bent sideways. I agreed with both gradings to be honest. [/QUOTE]
