      @Bones I also dont like that it is called 'foul play'

      To me, foul indicates dirty play

      High tackles were pretty dirty in my day 😁

      Watch it at normal speed...

      Certainly no malice.. Not deliberately head hunting..

      Im guessing it's being implied that he was beaten, therefore shouldn't attempt the tackle.. As he wasn't going to be able to get low enough.

                Of interest, in u10 grade and below tackle, the tackle height must now be below the sternum... I believe the intent is to carry this through the older grades in coming seasons too

                Not sure if specifics, just what we were told at small Blacks course.

                      Not sure what you're arguing with here. Normal speed or not, it's penalty at best, Dickson was really low. "what's he supposed to do" is not a defence though

                          What I'm poorly articulating.. Is that in that situation players when beaten and out of position to make a safe tackle shouldn't attempt the tackle in the 1st place..

                            @Crazy-Horse If you are properly bent at the waist and someone drops into your shoulder you won't be penalized (if the laws are applied correctly).

                            That isn't what happened.

                                There were some interesting discussions about how we are to police the rucks.. With everyone bent over etc and how can you legally clean out someone jacking the ball..

                                  Watching de Groot closely in recent games he spends a lot of time sucking in big breaths, and on one knee or getting attention. He could be carrying an injury but I would question his fitness.

                                    @taniwharugby won't hear an argument from me. Reffing quality is fucking shite right now with guys like Pickeral and O'Keefe running around.

                                      Watch it at normal speed...

                                      Certainly no malice.. Not deliberately head hunting..

                                      Im guessing it's being implied that he was beaten, therefore shouldn't attempt the tackle.. As he wasn't going to be able to get low enough.

                                      Not sure what you're arguing with here. Normal speed or not, it's penalty at best, Dickson was really low. "what's he supposed to do" is not a defence though

                                      What I'm poorly articulating.. Is that in that situation players when beaten and out of position to make a safe tackle shouldn't attempt the tackle in the 1st place..

                                      To me, foul indicates dirty play

                                      High tackles were pretty dirty in my day 😁

                                        @taniwharugby won't hear an argument from me. Reffing quality is fucking shite right now with guys like Pickeral and O'Keefe running around.

                                        I have tried so much harder this season to stop being so hard on the refs, but unfortunately, he has never been upto it, I still recall his debut game reffing Northland :angry_face:
