Scott and Reynolds get grade 1 charge

[happy_tiger]

Can't believe about the grading of the tackle on Tate in SOO 1

This isn't Qld thing either , the NRL just lacks consistency across the board and never follows through on anything

Thoughts ??

I was surprised Reynolds ever got a grade 2\. Blind Freddy could see it was Scott who pulled Tate around into a dangerous position

Reynolds got off because they want to win the state of origin, that's it in a nut shell. If that had been a NRL game he would be out for 2 weeks. Simona got 2 weeks for the same crime the NRL are pi## weak.

The only thing consistent about the NRL judiciary is how inconsistent they are. Surely it can't be that hard to look at tackles and say "that is equivalent to this other tackle" and give it the same grade.

It seems like almost every time someone disputes a grading this year, it gets reduced. This is going to tempt more and more people to fight their charges. And then, you'll have some unlucky sod who will not get off, and will be hit doubly hard. All because he can't afford the best lawyers?

The argument to have it downgraded was even funnier, but I'm glad this kid doesn't miss out. He is possibly part of a team which could win the series next game.

I think Qld would prefer he plays too… He upset a lot of the players off the ball on Wednesday, so they would like the opportunity to return the favour!

All due respect Watto I honestly doubt it would worry him. It's what he bases his whole game around.

Huge blues fan and I am astonished it was downgraded…..that was as nasty a tackle as I have seen for a while.

If Tate had gotten hurt he would have gotten years.

Cant believe he only got 2 weeks and then downgraded,

what rubbish.

Simona's tackle - landed on their head/neck
Bird's tackle - landed on their head/neck
Reynolds' tackle - landed flat on their back

My only problem with this is they don't grade the landing… They grade tackles.

I'm not a fan of the judiciary taking into account the result of a tackle... They should only be looking at the tackle and what transpired in the tackle.

When they said he was out for 2 games originally. Was that just the two origin games?

tate was put in a dangerous position.. that should be the end of it. the fact that he landed on his back is nothing but good fortune

 

[happy_tiger]

You give them benefit of the doubt if they pulled out

But they didn't

Does this make it open slather for SOO games for just about everything

Correct decision for the circumstances. ..go the Blues!

 

[hobbo]

I dont know about this one… the tackle was as horrendous as it was spectacular, though Im not sure Reynolds should have worn the blame.

Sometimes there is a set of circumstances that can turn a textbook perfect form tackle into a dangerous throw. Occasionally if the ball runner is running pumped and braced for contact up high, not running upright but leaning into the contact and is hit by what would normally be considered a perfect mid-body tackle can send the ball runner over the top... I can distinctly remember some time ago Inglis ready to bump up high, in which he would generally turned the tackler into a speed bump if they tried to wrap the ball up, only to be textbook smashed with a shoulder tackle above the waist which ended up really ugly for Inglis... thats just physics, it will happen sometimes and not due to poor form or dangerous techniques.

Without bias, Tates aggressive running style and what would normally be thought to be good tackling form ended up one of those pop over the top type collisions, made all the worse by Scott collaring Tate and trying to ride him into the ground.

I know we have to remove the dangerous tackle from the game, albeit too late now, but i do honestly there is a difference between a bad tackle and a terrible set of circumstances...

For example there is a big difference between Gallen going grub and head-butting 3rd man in on an upright gang tackle, and Tamou slipping into contact for a head clash and splitting the ball-runner open.

Beau Scott's part in the tackle should have no bearing on the ruling whatsoever. The Bromwich's got off free while McLean sits out 7 weeks for a horrendous incident, so Reynolds should've copped 2 for his. Not necessarily more, but at the end of the day Tate was put in a dangerous position as a direct result of Reynolds trying to lift (and also making no attempt whatsoever to control the landing).
It'd be nice to see the NRL "crack down" on something for longer than a week at a time.

This is of course if we are using the MacKinnon/Maclean tackle as a precedent.

Who says they got this one right?

Theyre so inconsistent, which ones are right and which ones wrong, we have nothing to judge by

 

[tig_prmz]

true that the jury is inconsistent, hence there is nothing to see as a precedent but whichever one you compare this to- it's a wrong decision.

was tate in a dangerous position that he had no control over? yes.
how dangerous was the position? very.

end of story.
minimum grade 2/3.
