There is an absolute example of how referees have no idea about the game. How was Walsh supposed to pull out of that?

Sorry I mustn’t be speeing what you guys are seeing. I thought Walsh was just trying to stop the try. I didn’t think he lead with the shoulder.

The onus is on Walsh to not put himself in positions that endanger other players, not on the referee

Although Slater would argue the shoulder charge is the safest move for both players

Def what he was trying to do, but was still direct shoulder contact to head. Most illegal contacts the defender is trying to stop the player
