Fainu is a good player, but Jack is a former bronco... and even though he was overpaid and absolute garbage for us and has only played about 30 games in 3yrs, he will turn up like prime SBW playing in a GF

After tonight's sin bin in the Panthers vs Cowboys game, we're definitely losing a player to the bin throughout the game.

What this "crack down " will lead to is more off loads .
Why ? Because the modern upright ball and all hugger tackle stops the ball runner offloading .
All these guys head butting each other is a synptom of the modern tackling style . Coming into the tackle with their head up . Old school tackle you got your head out of the way as much as possible . Modern style over the top 1st contact . Shoulders colliding with heads and massive head butts often on their team mates .
A change needs to be made . How that is done I don`t know . But more off loads isn`t as bad as more concussions .
