Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3510375, member: 1769"] [B]Annesley has confirmed that the Bunker fucked us. he said:[/B] “Certainly the decision with Carrigan hasn’t helped the clarity around hip-drops, but it was simply an error by the Bunker,” “There are effectively three elements to a hip drop. “They are a “grab”, where a defender grabs hold of the ball carrier; a “twist”, they rotate their body when falling to the ground, and the “drop”, they drop the bulk of their body weight falling directly onto the legs. “In the Carrigan incident two of those three elements were there, but the bulk of the body weight did not fall directly on (Asofa-Solomona’s) legs. “If the Bunker had been in any doubt about all three elements, they should have placed it on report, but Carrigan should not have been sin-binned. “Even though he made contact with the legs, most of his body weight was absorbed by the ground. “What Carrigan did on Thursday night wasn’t a hip drop.” [/QUOTE]
