Was that a Dangerous tackle ?

Hi Eagle 1
Yes it was a dangerous tackle & I hope he recovers ASAP.
However, certain NRL footballers frequently try to scam the ref for penalties. (Garrick is one of them)

Regardless on weather Garrick supposedly trys to fools the refs. It was a dangerous tackle every day of the week and should of been penalized.
Cheers...and go Manly on Sunday.

You must have misread my post - Ive written twice, that in my opinion it was a dangerous tackle.

Was it a dangerous tackle? Not according to Andrew Webster at the SMH:

I didn’t interpret Seibold’s comments as ‘abuse’. More like common sense. Seems like V’landys agrees with him and he certainly didn’t castigate Seibold’s comments.

Based on his opinion here, it looks like Webster has about as much common sense as Anne Sley, A. Johns and Billy Slater&Gordon.

I'm so over this debate, as it's so obvious a penalty and they fu**ed up
They keep mixing up the story
We all know the rule is " you can tackle in the air" once the ball bounces
Now let's forget that and make it tackle 2 on a standard hit up....if the defender picks the attacker up 5 foot and throws them on their back the ref would stop the game, deem a penalty and give the defender 10m in the bin.
WHY - because it is called a "dangerous tackle'

On the general topic of the dangers in NRL, of which there are obviously many, interesting to see NAS's comments on the risk of CTE. Players are aware of the danger but most are in it simply to feed their families

“We have mortgages to pay, food to put on the table, kids and families to support and money is a massive factor for playing NRL.
“You ask any of the boys, if they won Lotto tomorrow, would they keep playing football? I think a lot of them would probably say no. “For me, rugby league is definitely an outlet.”

What a muppet. This Webster fellow must have his cork in Anusley's gollete.

A human butt plug?

So if Rueben ended up in a wheelchair for the rest of his life would Webster still be happy that it was all good and the refs got it right.

He is missing the point completely, it was dangerous and the rules need to change, for the safety of the players

If Webster stopped after the first comma, he would’ve been spot-on. Nothing further needed.
