Is this what the game is coming to? The referee should send any player who "looks " injured from a tackle off straight away for an HIA. See how quickly that will stop this epidemic from becoming an accepted part of the game.
The refs are killing the game. Tollman ran with his head waist high the guy did a legitimate tackle and gets binned. Every forward or back that now is told to run with their heads bent down low coming towards the contact, you will have guys having to pull out of tackles. This has to be stopped they are making the game a bloody mockery.
yes , I agree with commentator it was a joke, but it was worse in the Panthers Roosters game when a player is sent of for making contact with the head of an opposing player who slipped and fell.
It was totally accidental and had little force behind it. There was nothing the Roosters player could do about the situation but Klein sends him to the bin for 10.
I am dead set against head hunting but when it is totally accidental and out of the players control you would reckon that some common sense would prevail, but no.

NRL refs on the field,and in the bunker don't do common sense.

Ref got it wrong of course. Tolman ran into Robson,so the only force was from Tolman.
