Quote Rock God X="Rock God X"Of course it was an attempted tackle! What a daft thing to say. The shoulder charge tackle is perfectly legal in our game. If someone attempts to execute such a tackle and the player falls into it, it is no different whatsoever to him attempting a tackle with his arms and a player falling into it.'"
As I said, happy to agree to disagree - I actually think there is a distinction between a shoulder charge and a tackle in the rules, but no drama, as I said I have no vested interest either way other than happened to see it and have done bits in the game over the years. I respect your opinion even if I dont actually agree with it.
I might revise my reckless to careless, it is less divisive, the actual wording is: when effecting or attempting to effect a tackle makes contact with the head or neck of an opponent intentionally, recklessly or carelessly.
Tuesday's sitting of the panel will tell us how the RFL view it - but thought it was worth all black and whites considering that if the outcome is poor for Moa, it is not a fix or a conspiracy against Hull, that there are other ways of viewing the incident equally valid.
The big issue for the RFL is not to adjuducate on this incident, but to achieve consistency on whatever stance is taken.
