Tuqiri cited for dangerous tackle

[Happy]

wow - looking at it through unglazzed eye balls - ouch!!!

I'm happy with the 5 weeks he got for that, it was driving too much to be called a good tackle, if he had pulled out three quarters through maybe? But remember the tribunal at SANZAR (and league for that matter) is what seperates us from the gutless kangaroo court that is the AFL!

one mccaw was in the air, lote turned him over on himself - granted the angle of maccaw v lote was bad, but once the man is in the air the tackler is the one who controls how he lands!

[uglybob]

mind you, the aussies didn't do too well with sharpe in the air either! dropping a man from over 7-feet in your own lineout

Who me? I haven't looked through the bias glasses in regards to this?


uglybob, I'd almost forgotten about that, that was damn ugly. Very big fall and I'm glad he got up from it.


Also Larkham's dumping tackle the very pass before Tuqiri's one could have used a look at too,

Ahh, my bad


Were you slightly overserved, Happy? tsk tsk.

[Happy]

overserved? .. no!

happy? .. extremely

[Sagerian]

hehehe, well as long as you had fun.

"ok guys I missed it bring me down.. guys??? guys?? ahh shiiiiiiii 'thump' "

haha thats it - having been 'left' like that before, its not a good feeling!

i was under the impression the aussies should have lost the ball for that? i believed you had a requirement to bring any jumper back down to ground - i.e. the man in the air is always protected regardless as to if hes your own team or not

Poor Sharpie.....It was shades of RWC2003 when they dropped him on his head and he was out for a while..

[JediKnight]

and did you notice who was to blame for letting Sharpie fall on his head.....Elsom.....

[LarryNJ]

I don't know the rules but that didn't look that bad to me. 5 games sounds like a pretty severe punishment for simply a hard tackle that he happened to land in an awkward position. I'm with the steak man on this.

Notice Larkham's hit the tackle before, that was a clean hard hit...

Lote got of cheaply (i reckon) Unfortunately he has a past history!
