There was nothing wrong with the tackle, it just looked worse than what it was. Stains players all jumped in crying AGAIN which ended in a yellow card. Dodd later conned the ref and got Dwyer binned for a professional foul. Hurrell got Leutele head on with a tackle, he didn't cry like Stains players hence, nothing said about it.
I haven't seen the tackle from last night so can't comment on that, I imagine there would have been thoughts back to last seasons incidents with Asiata, but last season the tackles were completely legal they looked ugly but he couldn't be punished because there was no illegal actions to punish. I'm not sure if any rule changes have been brought in this season with regards to that type of tackle, but we've already in nearly every game so far seen controversial, pedantic and inconsistent decisions from the officials which is resulting in more and more frustration for fans and driving the less hard-core element away from the game. I personally choose to watch football and cricket over rugby league now on TV.
