Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3546701, member: 8423"] Well you can thank Melbourne for all the wrestling / slow down tactics but I think we are talking about two different things here. 1. Intentional / Preventable high shots - absolutely, go to town on that - you can also take into account players' history with this too 2. Incidental / Unpreventable high shots - this just cannot be stopped, for example player is almost on his knees and himself slides into a defenders arm / shoulder - this just cannot be prevented due to the laws of physics - this just should not be penalised / suspended as a result An example of the first point is JWH / NAS who have history with head shots / going high in very avoidable situations but not getting suspended for it - this is where class action is absolutely a concern and this is totally on the NRL for allowing these grubs to keep getting away with bad / dangerous head shots. An example of the second point is Kobe Hetherington last year getting binned and penalised for hitting a guy who was slipping and was like 30cm off the ground - this is not preventable due to, you guessed it, the laws of physics. Note, he is also not a cheap shot merchant / grub. [/QUOTE]
