"This was, with respect, at least reckless," Ghabar said of the McGuire tackle. "It was precisely what Mr Annesley talks about in his memorandum - the full weight of player McGuire was on the lower leg. He said the difference between that tackle and the tackle by player Carrigan was three-fold: [LIST] [*]McGuire lands directly on the foot [of Addo-Carr], it was his full weight unlike player Carrigan, whose weight landed on the ground. [*]There was direct force involved and certainly that was the intent of the tackler [*]The contribution of fellow Dragons tackler Andrew McCullough was a "positive" in that he pulled Addo-Carr forward and to the side, which allowed McGuire to remove himself from the tackle.
