Message: [QUOTE="Dexter, post: 2773657, member: 1978"] I thought the the Ennis tackle should have been let go, the picture clearly shows his arm away from the body when his shoulder makes contact, if that's the rule then that tackle was fine. The Wighton tackle being exonerated IMO was just a joke and the game just handed itself over to the media that little bit more last night. Paul Kent, who is one of Rickys' good mates, lead a campaign right from the weekend to get him off. On 360 he kept showing a ridiculous still frame showing first contact with Wightons elbow onto the attacking players elbow. Well what a bunch of irrelevant bullshit. The next frame had he showed it was Wightons arm tucked against his body and full contact with the shoulder. The argument that he was just bracing for contact is also irrelevant because he had a choice of making a low tackle, he simply chose not to. The media, through Kent, drove this decision as they have with some other changes ( 2 refs). This is just another demonstration of how much the media control agendas and they have the NRL second guessing everything they do. The inmates are running the asylum. [/QUOTE]
