I was going to comment when the same bloke broke Corey Normans cheek bone. His tackling style is unacceptably dangerous. Charging in without any thought of the damage you are likely to inflict is not on. That's what Napa was doing and he had to change. The coach should have sorted this bloke out just like Robinson should have fixed up Napa before he did it again. Most players in the game never do this to another player in long careers but this bloke does it two weeks in a row, Hello !
League still seems to be in the dark ages on sanctions for contact in the head, compared to union. Might take a serious brain injury for someone to realise the risk.
Yes, players fall into tackles, but defenders need to start aiming lower generally.
Rubbish use of the sin bin. It was a penalty for high contact at best. Sivo feet are on the ground and to be honest Hughes is falling into him as he throws the pass. Hughes is fairly short and has a habit of dropping his body height to beat defenders. It’s impossible Sivo at speed to avoid high contact unless he dives at Hughes knees which would be stupidity. Worth noting that Hughes often ducks and dives on the ground to elude defenders.
Seemed like an overaction by the referees to me sending Sivo for ten. Not that it mattered to the result. Jarome has his left knee on the ground when hit clearly indicating he’s already falling in the tackle.

Seriously? I reckon he was lucky to get 10.
