You are an extremely hard marker to call that a missed tackle. Solid contact and he held on, just a huge man against a smaller man and TPJ was able to get the ball away.
If that is the case, that is on his representation. They should have sought particulars of the charge so it was expressly stated what the allegations were.

He is on the trajectory you flagged unfortunately. He does not look fit to me. He should be dropped after that performance until his performances in Cup warrant his return. Arthars should not be missing out whilst Cobbo is dishing up that tripe.
