Message: [QUOTE="LittleDavey, post: 3432685, member: 8255"] With all due respect I suggest you both watch the Carrigan tackle again too. I'm not arguing they're the same, they are not. The action that caused Pat's contact with Hastings' leg was the other guys pushing him back over the top of Pat, nothing Pat did. Hastings still had momentum in the tackle when Pat came in - that's why he came in, the others were struggling to stop him and both being up top, couldn't put him down. I'm also not saying Pat's didn't turn ugly, it absolutely did, Hastings ended up with a broken leg. It could be argued Brandon's tackle is worse as he swings around the player being tackled with momentum and impacts Tino's legs with some force...pretty sure that was in the NRL's hip drop definition. The tackles are different, the situations are different, but does Brandon hit and slide down with his body contacting Tino's legs in a potentially-dangerous manner? Clearly, he does, and that's what matters. After the bullshit this week surrounding Pat and making examples of him and getting it out of the game - how the very next hip drop can be cleared with a fine is completely bullshit. [/QUOTE]
