Matterson free to play, Douehi to miss a week

[cochise]

The real story here is .. Adam needs to improve his tackling technique. Or simply stop the shoulder charging and shorts grabbing.

His defence is a worry.

the thing is, he didnt hit him with his shoulder, it was more like his back or ribs that made first contact
but i do agree

Needs some tips from Sam Mclntyre

When it comes to Sivo you have to do the best you can for self preservation a piece of 4 x 2 most probably wouldn't stop him??????

Benjis argument about the 'charge' during the game was the sheer size of Sivo, he reference Douehi saying 'look how small he is' :joy:
tbh i would hate to have to tackle that steamtrain of a winger

Agree not fair in relation to both incidents they were against the rules and the on field ref adjudicated that way.
So what there effectively saying is the on field official does not know the rules when puts someone on report.

He was always going to get off although the commentators were talking it up its finals football they want all the players available unless a blatant foul not a 50/50 call.

However we have seen again this season a number of games where the 50/50 calls don't go our way and the NRL have it now that you can't question the officials.

Lets concentrate on fixing our roster playing smarter football, and giving the officials a hard time behind closed doors if we still get the inconsistent calls, if nothing done blow it up in the Media just like others do to us.

The stupid "no shoulder charge" rule doesn't make space for the difference in size between players. Benjis argument was nonsense the other night. I don't know how many people really ever were seriously injured from a shoulder charge. I wish it could be unwound. Thats the second time AD has tried to tackle in that fashion. It seems a really dangerous way to try to tackle. He'd be far better off going cheek to cheek as a fullback.

Your shoulder to their hip, your (facial) cheek to their (butt) cheek. Old school tackle lessons

So will he miss round 1? Or is there a way to avoid the suspension by doing it in a trial game or something

As a lighter defender (fullback) I always found 6inches higher below the ribs stopped them more effectively than getting belted by someones hip.

We got fined $5,000 for that too because someone dropped the soap on Toddle's showercam.
