That was a dog shot from Tino.

There's something wrong in the game when a raised bumper causes a defender to have to go off for a HIA but the runner raising his (in this case arm/elbow) is all sweet

And it’s not like Mahoney was going in for a low tackle: he was basically standing upright and Tino lifted his elbow at the last second.

Try to Chris Butler of the Gold Coast Titans

 

[BroncsFan]

Hahaha how does Butler miss that... some game management happening there to give dogs the ball on a blatant knock on

 

[BroncosFever]

Corey Parkey says it’s okay to initiate contact with a defender, in the head.

NSW'men trying their hardest to get Tino a suspension

 

[Harry Sack]

Brandy and Anusta doing their best to get Tino scratched from Origin

 

[Xzei]

probably should be only one place the forearm is going to go lifting it that high

 

[Fozz]

Think Tino should be allright, to me it looks like his arm was tucked down until contact was made and then he raises it to push him off. But then again...he'll miss Origin if he's suspended.

I am a QLDer, you can’t do that. If the NRL is fair dinkum and they want to bring in this duty of care thing, you cannot be contacting defenders in the head.

 

[Brocko]

NRL commentary is bad enough but around origin its even worse.

Parker is only excusing that from Tino due to QLD. Then the NSW side saying they've not seen anything like it in years despite watching NAS and JWH for years.

Every front rower does it... they raise their forearms to start contact and then look to push the defender back.

That’s great. You can’t hit them in the head though.

It’s like saying every defender uses their shoulder, use your shoulder but don’t hit anyone in the head.

I'd need to see what's going on with Mahoney's feet because he's so low compared to Tino, but still facing upright to catch him.

Tino is tall but is he that bloody tall over Mahoney or did Mahoney lose his feet or something.

Tino was coming in to initiate contact with Mahoney with his forearms vertical (as normal), but you can see him pushing through before the contact, like there was a miscue or if Reed is well back on his feet.

 

[Brocko]

What a start to the 2nd half for the dogs
