Message: [QUOTE="Dexter, post: 2835992, member: 1978"] I agree with the majority that sometimes you can't make rules to avoid every situation, the current rule has it pretty right. Who said it was treated in this way? Have I missed something ? One situation is attacking the other is defending the rules already discern between the two. If that tackle was performed on a half it would have been penalised IMO. In any case, even though it rarely happens, I think it was a fair question because the rule was bought in for player safety but because a player in defence jumped for a ball that bounced and was in the same position as if it was being caught on the full the rule is different. I understand that the ruling was/is correct and we should not have had the try taken from us but it was a fair question. I don't agree with Barretts quote below. The ruling was correct, he should be directing his disagreement with it to the NRL not at the Broncos for playing within the rules. Trbojevic will be out for six to eight weeks. "We feel extremely lucky given the nature of the mid-air tackle as it had the potential to be a lot worse," said Manly Coach Trent Barrett. [/QUOTE]
