Player Reece Walsh

[Tragic]

Looks like a deep fake ( whatever that is)

I’m of the camp it was a sin bin, yes Suaalii put himself in peril by launching but Reece falling contributed just as much to the contact point. Unlucky result but if either or both of the above hadn’t happened the hit would have been fine.
The result was the head was hit so yes sin bin but it wasn’t targeted at the head which if it was I’d agree it was a send off.

I disagree but understand your view. My disagreement is based on Reece falling doesn't make him responsible for his head being contacted by Suali'i's shoulder.

At full speed it looked harsh. And slow motion makes it look worse. I know the game is played on real time but no matter what is taken into consideration Suali'i's shoulder knocked Reece out cold by hitting his head. That's my two cents. Ta

Do you agree that first contact was with the chest not head?
And does it matter?

Actually I'll have to have a look. If you're trying to prove me wrong you're welcome to do it. And I'm happy to be corrected too. And also I'm happy to disagree but hey to answer your question I'll actually go get you an answer.

I had a quick look and I see it as head shot.

But I'm happy to hear your point if you have one.

I think first contact was with chest and slid up to contact head. It was a big shot so don't know which caused the damage. So contact with chest of a falling player then head as he fell and suaalii force was upward like all good tackles.
So given all these factors a send off was an overreaction due to the hurt caused.

It's a send off regardless of whether it may have hit his chest and then his head.
It's all in the one reckless motion.
Swahili has a duty of care which he failed badly.

Like Ref said the chest first argument however right or wrong just doesn't sit well with me. I'm not arguing the correctness of the call just expressing where it sits on my own spectrum of moral reasoning. The end result was extremely dangerous both immediately and potentially long term. It in my opinion is of higher value than the game the series the spectacle etc. And thanks for engaging in the discussion with me bro. Up the wahs

For mine, the “he slipped” argument is only valid if the defender has his feet planted and is already braced for impact before the player slips. If you’re sprinting at a player and launch off your feet in the air aiming at their upper body, you have sole duty of care.

In any way shape or form that amount of forceful contact to the head is a send off every day of the week.

Did he intentionally go out to target the head? No. Suali'i Was looking to shut down the threat of Walsh on the sweep who had already created the overlap, was obviously looking to stop it before he could get the ball away hence why he went in like a missile......his target area was high to stop the ball from getting away.....however at that speed your setting yourself up cause if your off your target by millimetres or the ball carrier lowers by the same amount you get what happened........and these days it doesnt matter if your 6 feet or 2 inches from the ground, the head is sacrosanct.

Not intentional but a misjudgement by Suali'i, send off the only call that could be made from that.

Bro it's ok for us to agree and disagree. And to hear each other without turning it personal shows maturity. A bit of back story too here;

First time I watched Origin, Q L D had Meninga and Wally Lewis and others I recognised from the many hidings the kangaroos had dealt us over the 80s and early 90s. So I just chose to support N S W. I did that until the series they smashed Q L D and did the grenade ball celebration which even though I supported them made me think they were a bunch of pricks. So I chose to follow the other state. Its not about loyalty to me as even though I live in N S W, I don't have a connection to here as I do with the Warriors and Kiwis. Just my extra two cents. Ta

Oates is a veteran that deserved more respect than that.
360 was good with Gordy playing defence as usual for his mates team and Buzz asked would you let a kid give you a serve like that?

That pass to Walsh reminded me of some comments Gould used to make when we'd get the Channel 9 feed. The halfbacks would throw a hospital pass instead of taking the hit. Gould pointed out it must piss off their teammates "Get that into ya" as you pass the ball to someone to get smashed.

A few weeks ago on an early tackle deep in their half or it may have been on a kick return. On of his team mates passed the ball to Walsh who passed it on, Walsh's pass got dropped and instead of looking at the guy who dropped it he looked pissed off at the guy who passed it to him.
