Message: [QUOTE="Dexter, post: 2136755, member: 1978"] This is the misconduct rule, it is very simple and clear you cannot attack the head and does not allow for exceptions . If Dane Tilse got penalised for his tackle last night O' Meley should have been sent. A player is guilty of misconduct if he, (b) when effecting or attempting to effect a tackle makes contact with the head or neck of an opponent intentionally, recklessly or carelessly. Now, if a ref was to rule to the letter of the law he wouldn't stop blowing penalties but in O'Meleys' case it was obvious he attacked the head. So referreeing gurus Mander and Harrigan looked at it and decided it wasn't deliberate or they don't know the rule. [/QUOTE]
