More importantly Tino may miss a week for that too
It's not a raised elbow - but yeah you could be right.

Oh Tino is out, the media will pack it in for him and that is basically the only thing that results in suspensions these days.

The media is going to run with this all weekend. Tino did nothing wrong but he'll be out of origin regardless.

Good on Tino calling out the role the media plays in this.

bit of an old video but I thought it would be worth a post here, to understand Hammer and his iconic try celebration more:
He played for the Cairns Kangaroos which was my first club I played for from ages 8 to 9 when I lived there as a kid after moving from Brisbane living at White Rock on the outer suburbs but we all knew that was the club to be at in the City(moved to Sydney after that and played for Kellyville Bushrangers who share the training ground with Parra now but not at the time).

Tino may not have used the elbow but he does basically attack the head of the tackler with his forearm, he has plenty of other mates who do it as well, JWH and NAS being prime examples.

Tino cleared to play in game 2, he wasn't charged. Good decision.

I didn't watch the game, was he penalised or binned at the time?

Neither, Bunker put him on report about 6 minutes after the fact.

Purely based on the Injury....
Injuries suck, but unless something malicious has occurred, you can't dish out punishment based purely on injury.
Glad to see this not become a circus.

I was pleasantly surprised that the MRC, made the correct decision

Credit where it is due and in this particular case, credit is rarely, rarely due.

I don't think it was the correct decision IMO. It was correct as far as precedent goes (particularly with, as mentioned above, what JWH and NAS get away with), but it makes a mockery of the "duty of care" in regards to concussion risks. For Qld's sake I am glad he's not suspended, but I don't like it.

What did he do wrong? Api got his head in a bad position.
