I don't agree with banning the shoulder charge, it's a good hit when done properly (ie below the neck). The rule is (or should be) simple - any forceful contact to the head or neck, no matter with which part of the body, should be a red card.

Going OT slightly I love the shoulder charge when done properly such as Tommy and the Sam Burges against the Kiwi (whose name I cant spell). But if done wrong and it heads the head then sending off, also I think any tackle that hits the head should be at least a sin bin. Give it a month then every tackle will be text book.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

Good point about the sin bin.... |

I'm 46 and I've had triple heart bypass surgery but, I could still put in a pretty good performance at International Rugby Union. I wouldn't last two minutes in Rugby League. - Graeme Lowe:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_68153.jpg |

Eric does seem to Kop some belters in his face, but to be fair he walked off like a trooper, think Westerman was lucky especially as he was 2nd man in the tackle. Looked horrible in slow motion and to me (and Sam T) it was more his elbow which could probably cause more damage than a shoulder.

Dan Sarginson: "This is a fantastic opportunity for me to join the biggest name in the competition" 18/10/2013
Tony Clubb: "This is a new exciting chapter of my life signing for Wigan and I couldn't be happier" 18/10/2013
Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10172.jpg |

How can it be ok to use a shoulder charge fairly below the neck, but 6 inches higher is a red card? That then depends on the height of the player being tackled: so if he's short, or is dipping into the tackle, or being tackled and going down, what could have been a fair challenge becomes a sending-off. Too tight to call, and open to too much 'opinion'.

Exactly the same rule as for an arm tackle. When was the last time someone was penalised for a swinging arm to the chest? |

There is an argument for that, but personally I believe that they should use the best evidence available to them. |

Exactly spot on! it makes the tackler to make sure he uses the correct method. I know it will sometimes be mistimed but the responsibility is on the tackler. |

Give it a month discussions will be very rare instead of after every match.
