It is if he's bolt upright and makes direct contact with the head as it means there's no attempt to keep the tackle low! I can only imagine you're being deliberately obtuse if you can't see a player jumping into a tackle is more likely to lead to a high tackle. Or do you think a defender who lowers his tackle height by bending his back is equally likely to hit the attacker high?
Come on mate, use a bit of sense. I understand you don't like the rule but trying to argue that an upright player with both feet off the ground isn't higher than an upright player with both feet on the ground is bordering on the delusional.

There's nothing delusional in being worried about the way the game is going.
If you're absolutely 100% okay that any contact with the head should be classifiable as a head-shot and merit some kind of card, then fine. I personally think it'll ruin the game I grew up loving (in fact, I think it already is - fans pay good money to watch stars on the pitch, not sitting in the stand, suffering draconian punishments for 'offences' which in a contact sport are commonplace and often accidental). But each to their own. At least you're in synch with the current powers-that-be.
No doubt you'll want the final word. Fine. have it. I've said what I think and am done with it.

Woah! This is a completely different discussion to "it was never a red card" or whether being off the ground makes a high shot more likely. Whether you like the fact that it is a red card or not is irrelevant. I said previously that I understand that you don't. I can't say I'm keen myself but understand the thinking behind the new rules (if not always the interpretation).
Just to clarify my posts. You said it was never a red card. I said it was. That's the entirety of the debate as far as I'm concerned. If you want to discuss whether the rules are good for the game, necessary or anything else I'm more than happy to chat about that too but that's nothing to do with my posts on the subject to date.

| As it stands by the rules it was a red and Tommy prob will get a 2 match ban to clarify it.
We may not like the way the game is going sometimes but these are the rules at the min.

| There was probably more damage long term at our game yesterday with two accidental head clashes caused by their own team mate than most red & yellow offences this season. Both looked awful (especially the Hull FC one in slow motion with a head to the bridge of his nose).

and there'll be no sanctions fines suspensions because 4 defenders crashed into each other, accidents happen in a contact sport, this afternoon a defender will probably get a ban because they accidentally made contact with an attackers head, makes no sense.

| I didn't really like the red card and thought it was a bit silly (Tommy went front on with his chest, wrapped his arms etc and the ref just decided to stop the game himself for no reason despite May wanting to play on) however, with the rules the way they are at the minute, I understood that it's technically correct.
Being banned for 3 games for it though is disgrace. Cannot ing stand the MRP, they are ruining the game completely

What were your thoughts on Byrne's sending off and subsequent 4 March ban on Good Friday?

| 3 games is ridiculous!
Feel for the lad, he’s been a great servant to the club and deserves better.
I agree with the red card but 3 game ban is absolutely not deserved.

Exactly, they were all singing and dancing back then.

I didn't remember the fact he got 4 matches until you just said it lmao, did he really?
My thoughts on it are probably in here. It was a clear red card, but I'd never have supported that level of ban for it, so I probably said that was stupid. I've been very consistent with my opinion of how much the MRP are an anchor around the game's neck

| We have a two tiered approach. Wigan and Saints seem to be in the firing line more than most other clubs.

Hull FC have joined the chat
I believe they've had most individual bans but we're neck and neck with them on accumulated matches
