Message: [QUOTE="Super Freak, post: 2954795, member: 8536"] Granville doesn't complain, at least not that I saw. That's an important factor, as players that are obstructed complain. He looks at Cook, and then he sees Burgess. He plants his feet, he leans forward to get the shoulder into the tackle which is what you do when making a tackle and he wraps the arms around. He wasn't putting the arms up to brace for the contact, he wraps them around the player. That's making a defensive decision. Mal said it best, he committed to the tackle. He made no attempt to follow the ball despite having the opportunity to do so. And the ball was received well on the outside shoulder. It was an excellent piece of work from Cook to hold the pass and fake to go short to Burgess. That attracted Granville's attention. It's a try. What Granville did is initiating contact. [/QUOTE]
