susan said:I think there is no doubt the first point of contact was ok but Ray Warren was saying in the coverage that that is not an excuse.
From what I can gather the fact that he hits the ball first helps re the grading but doesn't mean the tackle is not regarded as a high shot because there was contact with the head and it could be regarded as careless/reckless.I hope that is not the case.Does anyone know the exact rule in these cases?

You have to be a 'true' supporter to see it.

Brett Stewart and Steve Matai should be OK. Stewart's wayward elbow wouldn't have knocked me over and Matai's arm clearly came into contact the football first when he cleaned up big George Burgess. I know he's got a bad track record but he shouldn't be crucified for this incident.
