I’m sure they forget sometimes that a giant professional athlete slamming their whole body into another whole body can hurt someone without it being head contactJust what we've been missing.
Shouldn't have anything to answer for... The refs must have been told that players only get hurt because of foul play, they were looking for someone to blame every time
It looks like if someone gets hurt there must have been some illegal tackle. That Nikora one was a joke.I’m sure they forget sometimes that a giant professional athlete slamming their whole body into another whole body can hurt someone without it being head contact
I don’t even understand what a “hip drop” is supposed to be. The only ones I’ve ever seen penalised are legs tackles where the guy lands on his side. It’s so dumb.It looks like if someone gets hurt there must have been some illegal tackle. That Nikora one was a joke.

For the hip drop?i dont know if BHU has been charged, but nikora is facing 2 weeks whilst andy fifita was fined
It can't be for that so-called hip drop. Surely. It can't be.Someone gets hurt, someone must pay. For some reason nothing can be an accident anymore.
I guess in 2022 everyone is a victim and by golly someone better pay for it.

Except when Finucane and BHU went down in the first game… those were accidents and unfortunate events.Someone gets hurt, someone must pay. For some reason nothing can be an accident anymore.
