It was a good shot on Bai but a shoulder to the head of an opponent should have been outlawed long ago.
I've never quite understood how such a tackle can escape punishment when using any other part of the arm would be an automatic penalty ...... if picked up by the officials.

Because it would be ludicrous to give a penalty for a high tackle against a player who keeps his arms by his side.
That and it is a tough skill, in a tough game played by tough men. |

Is the object of this skill to make contact with the head of an opponent?
It should be fairly irrelevant which part of a defender's body makes contact with an opponent's head. Any contact above the shoulder should be off-limits and pretty much an automatic penalty.

I’ve heard from a very reliable source that Rangi Chase is signing for Leeds.

No the object of this skill is to execute the tackle. It would be ridiculously difficult to try and effect a tackle which deliberately targets the head of your opponent without raising your arms, which is why it so rarely happens and why we remember a hit when it did for so long ago, when it likely happened more by luck than judgement. |

| Quote: Juan Cornetto "Sonny Bill Williams is the one we should be talking to.
He has indicated he will consider a return to League and is happy to play in Europe again. He doesn't want to commit to a long term contract and is keen to further his boxing career (UK would be good for this) He is flexible as he turned down 1 mill pa from a French club to play for the All Blacks on 250K. He will be out of contract after the RU World Cup.
He earns a lot from outside sponsors and IMO in the UK would earn more from these sources + boxing. So GH get on the phone!'"
$Bill singed to play for the All Blacks to improve the $Bill Brand - the All Black brand (and it is a brand) is worth more in the long run (sponsorship, after dinner speeches, etc) rather than a quick shot in the bank from one French RU club. He thinks he is a boxer but has only fought chumps. |

Actually, a shoulder to the head [ishould[/i be a penalty...
Quote: tvoc "Definition of misconduct 1. A player is guilty of misconduct if he
...the problem is that it's very hard for Ref's to tell where the initial contact is and then decide if the contact with the head was intentional/reckless/careless.
Take the Biffa jaw break the other year, I've seen numerous replays and yet still couldn't really determine with certainty where the initial contact with. IMO that was at least a careless tackle and should have resulted in a 1 match ban (the RFL kangaroo court doesn't agee with me though rlhttps://www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?2177rl)
The SBW-Bai one on the other hand I always thought was a pretty spot on execution of a legal shoulder charge - IIRC the contact was with the chest and it was the whiplash/Bai head hitting the deck that left him dazed.

| BTW on the subject of the RFL disciplinary - I see that this week Clarkson and Kylie were up for review respectively for taking his "feet off ground in concerning manner" and "getting into the ninja position" 
(both have no case to answer) |

Nice start to his SL career for Tony Tonks too, sitting out the first two games after his ridiculous charge in the brawl in the Championship GF on Sunday. |
