Message: [QUOTE="Organix, post: 3431037, member: 8187"] I watched that. It wasn't anything new to me, to be honest. I'm pretty sure I've explained tackling on here during the early days of the 6-again in a similar way. The issue is the reactionary response the NRL has to everything. Baggy Jerseys would mean more dislocated fingers and surely there would be a strangulation move that Melbourne would introduce. At the end of that segment Gus basically ends his lecture by admitting that he has no solutions to the problem either. Really, the solution was given at the start, which is reward good tackles and punish bad ones on the field. A solid legs tackle, give them the 3 second hold time. A wrestle tackle, call them off after 3 seconds. Most of the techniques Gus mentioned in there are obvious and cynical. Refs aren't stupid, they're being trained to be robotic and losing their discretion. Anyway, if this continues, it will end up being touch football, until even that gets reffed out because someone's arm was too straight on the touch and they make every player wear some sort of phallic rubber object attached to their elbows to effect the tackle.
