A pigtail would've been a surefire target in my day.

With the tightness of jerseys these days the players must have enormous grip strength .
Old school , the jersey not tucked in was asking to get put on a merry go round .

 

[McHunt]

Paul Crawley asks in the CM if Patty's tackle was so bad why wasn't he binned. Probably a fair question, except the tackle was only one part of larger clusterfuck.

Also the big **** off collars were basically a handle for flinging or dragging your opponent into touch.

 

[Big Del]

ooh the good old jersey sling on the cricket pitch was definitely one to avoid .
Mid winter in Nambour after the Show weekend and the horses and cows running up and down the square . It was brutal .

Started out a penalty to the Broncs for Tamou abusing the Ref .
Then the bunker saw the replay and excused James`s potty mouth , then gave a penalty to the Tigers .

Cluster fck ...

5 weeks is still a pretty severe ban, and it was also an early plea. No one at the Panthers objected, including his old man.

Very similar tackle in the BRL comp got 6 weeks down to 5 weeks from memory because of the early plea. I think the Cleary decision is about right.

 

[lynx000]

Swings off the hips and lands on the legs .
Accidental but fulfils the criteria for hip drop .

I keep coming back to the Mums and Dads watching .
Do they want their kids to be playing a game where the potential to be paralysed or crippled is present .

Take into account kids and the thousands of amateurs who play don`t have the worlds best doctors treating them like NRL players . A knee injury may mean waiting for elective surgery . A back injury may mean NDIS ...

Every week we see hands between the legs and lifts . Just that they don`t go wrong . Lifting is not allowed in junior footy . So when you turn 18 get ready for some lift and drive action .

I was initially in the other camp that it wasn't a hip drop, but I have had a look at it a few times now and I agree with you, I think it technically fulfils the criteria for a hip drop. The landing on the leg was accidental whereas it is more clearly forseeable in the case of a classic hip drop.

It will be interesting to see whether they plead guilty to the dangerous contact (which is what I would do) and argue that it is only a Grade 2.

 

[Big Del]

I had my leg broken as a teenager in a similar type of incident playing for my high school .
Snapped my shin from knee to ankle . The sound was like a branch breaking off a tree .

8 weeks in a cast . Patty fan here . But that shit needs stamping out .

 

[BRC088]

I keep coming back to the Mums and Dads watching .
Do they want their kids to be playing a game where the potential to be paralysed or crippled is present .

I assist at junior level, what happens at NRL level is of little concern - most parents understand there's a VERY big difference.

Saying that, some off field antics some of the older junior meat heads get up to is of far greater concern.

 

[Big Del]

most parents understand

Leaves a percentage who don`t and who might send their kids to different sports .

Something I don`t like seeing is lifting the tackled players leg so they do the splits . Again not allowed in juniors .
Luke O `Donnel and the wish bone tackle ?

 

[lynx000]

And then you have this, why wasn't this charged as a hip drop, I think it is worse than Carrigan's tackle:

 

[broncos4life]

And then you have this, why wasn't this charged as a hip drop, I think it is worse than Carrigan's tackle:

Check out the colour of the jersey the tackler is wearing and you have your answer.

 

[Big Del]

And then you have this, why wasn't this charged as a hip drop, I think it is worse than Carrigan's tackle:

The line about "it starts to look unnatural on the football field " is BS .
That vid is classic grab the hips swing off hit with the hips on the lower legs . The tackler did let go once he fell on the legs is the only concession .

 

[Dash]

And then you have this, why wasn't this charged as a hip drop, I think it is worse than Carrigan's tackle:

This should be Exhibit A in Patty's case. Although I'm pretty sure the NRL exclude all non-charges from being presented as evidence purely so their inconsistency can't be used against them.

 

[BroncsFan]

This should be Exhibit A in Patty's case. Although I'm pretty sure the NRL exclude all non-charges from being presented as evidence purely so their inconsistency can't be used against them.

It's one of those ones that you get a journo to leak out though.

Why is Patty getting charged but old mate isnt... you can start to build a narrative heading into the hearing

I reckon you'd be able to find 100's of hip drops in a given weekend... but they only penalise when a player lies down... and wouldnt you know Kyle Feldt laid down against us in the trial this year in order to get a penalty... first time I can recall a player taking a dive for it

The second you feel your ankle under the tackler just lie down and hold your ankle... no risk of a HIA and you cant play the ball until they've had a look.

 

[Dash]

Kennedy is out for the year, so they don't even have the injury excuse.

Bottom line is, if Fuimaono gets 5 weeks for a 9 month injury with a poor record, Patty HAS to get less than that for a 6 week max injury and a clean record.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

The NRL are going to scapegoat us to stamp out the hip drop tackle (regardless of whether what Carrigan did is actually a hip drop. IMO It's not) but that isn't going to stop them. Smacking the Broncos with a crazy suspension isn't going to stir up much noise in NSW and lets face it, that's all that matters to them.

 

[Big Pete]

Daily Telegraph's David Riccio expects a 6-7 week suspension.

Brandy would be comfortable with 8 weeks.

Why it’s “justifiable” if Carrigan is suspended for “six or seven weeks”

“I wouldn’t have an argument.”
