I refuse to ever read anything from “ the roar” ever again.
The way they sanctimoniously piled on people who had vaccine hesitancy tells me that they are pretty bland.
Meh - we're still lucky that Walker stayed on the field. I don't really wanna see this over-analysed to the point where it ends up with Walker copping a massive penalty hahaha
I refuse to read any media links - it’s all click bait that generates income for shit platforms and dickheads posing as journos who are a blight on the game.
It’s the same for any other media outlet or journo or commentator comments which fuels the NRL / Media partnership revenue.

I didn’t see that but I switched off from those who did that pretty quick

Did anyone see the tackle that RTS was sin-binned for? He hit Campbell with a great driving tackle, putting him onto his back/shoulder. If it went past 90 deg at any point it was by about 1 degree just before he hit the turf, and he was NEVER in a remotely dangerous position.
You'd think his name was Radley.
Edit: I now see he has been cited and charged with a Grade 1 Dangerous Throw. That's ridiculous IMO.

I didn’t think it even warranted a penalty.

Fair enough for RTS to be sin-binned: As per the NRL elements and indicators, it met the criteria of a dangerous throw. -Lifted above the vertical- At least they got this one right.
Fortunately for Campbell, he landed on his back, as a few degrees more, his head would have made contact with the ground first.
Defenders shouldn't be allowed to lift ball carriers off the ground in tackles or head or backslam them either.
Ball carriers have limited ability to protect themselves in such tackles as Campbell one clearly shows - not able to use his arm to somewhat lesson the impact with the ground as he had possession of the ball
If a tackle of an opponent sees that player being lifted or elevated so that he is placed in a position where it is likely that the first part of his body to make contact with the ground will be his head or neck (“the dangerous position”), then that tackle or contact will be deemed to be a dangerous throw unless the dangerous position could not have been avoided.
What are the key indicators of this charge?
The tackled player must have been lifted or elevated off the ground during the tackle. The head of the tackled player must dip below his hips for the dangerous position to be reached. The tackled player must be placed into a dangerous position for this to be charged. If the attacking players position is arrested by the defender/s during the tackle and the dangerous position changed, this must be considered in whether to charge the defending player.
The charged player must have substantially contributed to the outcome of the dangerous throw to be charged. He doesn’t have to be solely responsible for the dangerous throw, but his contribution to the outcome must be deemed substantial.
If the attacking player jumps or elevates themselves of the ground during the dangerous throw, the defending player should not be charged.
'Can go wrong incredibly quickly': Annesley explains Tuivasa-Sheck sin bin
