He should have tried to catch the ball. Would have been a great try.
You forgot the one thing going against him ... He plays for the Brisbane Broncos ...But the fact Copely makes contact with him thus putting him off balance and the winger is falling and there is no shoulder contact means any decent lawyer representing him will get him off. I say show some cajones and fight the bullshit ruling.
First time: shit happens.TPJ has given away so many penalties in his time here with reckless tackles like that. I can understand that he wants to put a big shot on, but after all these penalties you'd think he'll start to learn to slow down a bit and wrap the player with his arms.
To be fair, it's not like hes always catching players high (aka Allan Cann). He just loses his technique with effort plays. I think it's more a mental thing than anything else.First time: shit happens.
Second time: blame the player.
Third time: blame the coach.
He's an impact player and sometimes they go over the top or get it wrong. I hope he never changes as he plays his best footy when he's fired up. A placid TPJ isn't very effective as we have seen on a few occasions this year.TPJ has given away so many penalties in his time here with reckless tackles like that.

Seibold said he's returning through Wynnum Manly. I expect he'll see how handles it one week at time.Pretty straight forward line-up with TPJ out & Gillett / Flegler back in. The only question mark is Dearden, I expect he'll get a couple of weeks in QCUP before returning to the NRL though. At that point we can only pray that he gets the 7 jersey and Turpin usurps Macca.

Dearden won't be coming back to first grade this week.If Glenn out, perhaps Boyd at centre with Dearden in. Otherwise hopefully Farnsworth (Shibasucki should never be picked again)
