Every tackle is a head high tackle

[The Oracle]

I closely watched last night's game for one thing - how many times is a tackle made and completed where the opposition comes in contact at some stage with the ball runner's head. Contact was made with the head on most occasions. Let's entertain two popular 'conspiracy' theories: (1) some people see the game much like boxing and as such it is inherently violent and must therefore be eliminated as a sport. And/or (2) The Roosters are rorters who deserve the clown music. Then a perfect way to destroy the game is to target us as an unsafe and unfair club! Thoughts...

The only devil ref I ever met was Kelvin Jeffes.

Dont worry about conspiracy if the Chooks are up for this game they will win. The ref/bunker are going to play a part for both teams like they always do. Roosters 1-12

Rugby league should be classed as a combat sport so the it can be played how it should be.

Make junior league safe for kids and if you want to play as a professional accept the risks involved
what's puzzling you is the nature of the game

is this the same Oracle who kept banging on about replacing Robbo with Neil Henry prior to the 2018 season?

At some point in just about every tackle, a defenders arm comes in contact with the ball carriers head is almost unavoidable. The rules are designed to be ambiguous and flexible so they can enable a shit teams back into a contest through 6 against and penaltys.
Today will be a great example of that.

I had Kelvin Jeffes as a ref in under 12s and under 13s and he was ok at that level.

Not me brother... I have only made around 50 posts. For me Robbo is the best coach we have ever had.
