Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3484691, member: 9881"] Yeah the onus is on the tackler but if they are walking that doesn’t break a jaw does it. If they are walking that doesn’t get a suspension so it is the mrc’s duty to take into account what grade of a tackle that is without taking into account the outcome and it is a low grade tackle as it is a low force contact with the head. You lot are all pressed cause Corey broke his jaw and the only reason he broke his jaw was cause of the force he brought to the tackle not drinkwater as such he cannot be punished and should not be punished as a result of the outcome if he has minimal force and balance to even perform a tackle of the magnitude to break a jaw severely enough to leave a bloke out for 8 weeks. It wasn’t that sort of tackle so yes it very well is relevant. Wade Graham ran full force lined up Moale last week with a no wrap shoulder charge that was 10 times worse than Drinkwater and no injury has meant we are punishing them the same for similar offences with far different severity of shots put on. Not a single one of you would choose to be tackled by Wade like that over Drinkwater if you got to choose how fast you were coming in. Poor decision but late movement meant Drinkwater had halted most of his movement and was off balance that tackle alone cannot and will not break anyone’s jaw so to insinuate a low force high tackle shoulder charge in that sort of nature ending up as 3-4 weeks solely comes down to the result of the tackle and in my opinion that is completely and utterly wrong and the lot of you had the same opinion a few months ago when it was one of our own so I don’t want hear it. Either you were all talking porkies before or you are just so biased you will say whatever works in our favour. Not to mention until now your recent history has actually meant something to the mrc a first offence tackle that couldn’t have broken a jaw without significant force coming into the shoulder should not be getting 3-4 weeks EVER. There would be a riot in here if Walsh had to make a tackle like that and got 3-4 weeks, a RIOT. [/QUOTE]
