| I thought he was bringing his arm up - therefore an illegal tackle/challenge !

He is not running onto the ball anything like he can do at the minute, which meant he was a sitting duck for Baileys shoulder charge.

| Does this new ducking rule allow Burrows to have his head taken off time and time again as it's Burrows fault for ducking?

| I hate bailey as much as anyone else but agree that it was a perfectly legal hit. The Guys on the superleague show seemed to make a big point of it being illegal etc but I really don't see what he did wrong.

| Quote: Ashmeister "Maurie did not 'duck' into the tackle.'"
He didn't duck into the tackle, but his Union-style low running technique didn't help.
It was a good tackle.

Sorry, but if your normal technique for evading tackles is to duck low, then you're regularly bringing your head into the region of the tackler's arm.
It's far more difficult for the referee to call a head-shot if the point of contact is actually at waist-height.
I'd agree that this is open to exploitation by those who routinely go for the head, but by the same token, to have every tackle of this sort penalised is also open for exploitation by the likes of Rob Burrow who always ducks because he's so short.
I wouldn't say that it's entirely Burrow's fault for ducking. But if he wants to cop it less round the chops, perhaps he should duck a little less.

| I've watched it a few times now, and would tend to agree with what has been said - it was perfectly legal and Fa'as did have his head down so Bailey probably doesnt deserve a ban.
I cant agree that it was a "good" hit though - a man running in and connecting his shoulder with the other players head could easily snap his neck; so it is something that the RFL need to keep an eye on before it spirals out of control and more players use it as a legitimate tackling technique (as these things tend to do).

is right.
in this case Bailey is innocent.

| Slightly OT but what about Cunningham's tackle on Burgess shortly after the Bailey incident? I may be wrong but was that not a grapple tackle? - there was definitely intent to 'attack the head'

| The shoulder barge tackle for me is a lazy tackle and are rarely executed one on one but normally by the 2nd or 3rd man in. Poor technique and lazy footwork are good bedfellows with this type of tackle. Baileys barge was legal by the rule book though.
