It looked like Creagh lead with his head and the Qld defender was fairly up-right, so are you saying Creagh should of been sent off?

It's a tough call to say he is deliberately leading with his head. I mean, his head is enormous so it would be hard for him to get any part of his body infront of it.
Is it just me or does his forehead get bigger every game? I would see a doctor about it if I was Nate, it could be some kind of tumour.

He's a Queenslander - they all have something wrong with them…..

You can put that sort of spin on my post if you like. What I see is players sometimes going into tackles in an aggressive head to head style and causing injury to the other player and sometimes themself. If a shoulder charge contacts the head of an opposing player, these days, it is often a penalty and put on report. If there is head to head contact it is most often decreed an unfortunate accident. I think, in some cases, the head clash should be seen in the same light as a shoulder charge. The 'protect the head' edict seems to be all the go these days so what's the difference? We have a video ref but unless there is a straight out headbutt no action is taken. Spin that!

If you are actually refering to Creagh, the goose did it to himself by falling into the Queensland defenders.

Nate looks like the worlds biggest midget with that noggin.
In other news I believe Dave Taylor is proof that incest still happens in Northern Queensland

Good One!
@stryker said:haha yeah he does a bit Smeg.
Comeon rossop…have you ever had a head clash at speed? It canes both players. I dont think he did it on purpose at all.
I am not refering to any particular incident but I take your point.

Players are taught now to make ifrst contact in an upright position so they can lock up the ball and enter the wrestle with the ball carrier, hold him up, and slow the play the ball down as much as possible. The ball carrier and tackler are entering the contest with their heads at the same level so head clashes are inevitable.

Mario Fenech was penalised more than once for this wasn't he?
They seem to be serious about contact to the head so I can only see this going one way - it will become illegal contact. Fast or slow, intentional or not, it will be put in the same category as contact with the shoulder.

My point exactly. Something in the air on the south coast :smiley:

Watch Nate Myles tackle on Farah. Eyes and chin up, then drops both prior to contact. No doubt in my mind that he meant to cause damage

There were an abnormally large number of head damaging tackles, especially in the first half. Hmmmm…... :brick:

Just watched it again on Fox. I think you are 100% correct.

Nate is fast becoming the biggest grub in the game in my opinion. There was a tackle in game 2 where James Tamou was getting up, and Nate was at front marker and reached around Tamou to tread on his achilles
