Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 2544771, member: 1992"] Alfie's tackling style was still allowed at the time he retired and is still allowed to this day. Alfie was one of an elite group of athletes in australian sporting history who had rules imposed on their sport specifically designed to stop them doing as they were. From memory the authorities changed the rules twice, banning a certain style of tackle and perhaps stealing the ball. In the end he was required to have two hands on the tackled player to effect a legal tackle, something he managed to do with ease. His effectiveness in tackles was not hindered in the least. A small player must always have a place in rugby league. [/QUOTE]
