DESpicable Manly
I don't think there was intent to cause harm in the tackle, and to a large degree it was an unfortunate incident. However...
In the end mclean did lift in the tackle, and im my interpretation of the rules, he should be charged with a lifting charge. I agree that the injury caused should be considered as an aggravating circumstance and I agree with it being referred straight to the judiciary.
I can sympathise this situation has mitigating circustances such as mckinnon trying to roll. But they are mitigating factors, not a reason to be excused.
The big thing for me is, out of respect for Alex, Mclean should not be playing this weekend. The storm should have stood him down until the trial/judiciary is run. I know he has been granted approval to play, but i find it disrespectful.
