Message: [QUOTE="LittleDavey, post: 3602231, member: 8255"] Sorry mate, this take is cooked. [ATTACH type="full"]26684[/ATTACH] It meets the definitions of a reckless high tackle, a shoulder charge AND late contact with a passer under the NRL's definitions: I've underlined the important parts here - May was not attempting to make a genuine attempt at a wrapping or grabbing tackle, so it was not a [U][I]careless[/I][/U] high tackle, it was worse than that but at a minimum he could/should have been charged with this. Let's step up to reckless: This is far more appropriate. May jumps into the contact, which can only ever result in high contact on Walsh. There is no genuine attempt at a wrapping tackle, he has an arm tucked. You can also see in the above that if his face doesn't make contact with Walsh's head and rock it backwards, his shoulder absolutely would have. Which leads into: Clearly, both arms were NOT used to tackle or take hold of Walsh, so this tackle meets the definition of a shoulder charge as well. It's about as clear-cut as you can get. As far as late: It was a late, reckless, high shoulder charge. He could have been charged under [B][U][I]any [/I][/U][/B]of those 4 markers, how he completely avoids sanction for it is just disgusting. [/QUOTE]
