This guy definitely learnt from the best in Cameron Smith when it comes to little niggling shit. I just watched the game again (not for the last time) and I really paid attention to the tackles he makes highlighted by the hip drop.
Every tackle is a twist of an ankle or knee or just some unnecessary hold while the player is on the ground and vulnerable. It never gets highlighted by anyone in the media because it is the storm but someone needs to call this shit out now or we will stuck with Cam Smith 2.0 for the next 10 years plus

It's called muscle memory. They play the way they train.
Nailed it
Yeah amd then we have Fox last night " oh Harry Grant doesn't play like that , he's ok , he should maybe get a small fine ".
it was actually Cronk that said it's not a good look and we need to get that out of the game.
Bromwich should get a month for that crusher tackle. I've seen non intentional ones get a fortnight, that one was text book crusher with intent.
A couple times he would pick up Papali'i leg so he would go head first into the ground.
Its a club thing mate. They all do it.
Two first names again. And people think this is some whacko conspiracy myth.
they invent every hold that then gets banned after they cause injury then they just move onto a new one.
They remind me of drug cheats that are always one step ahead of the testers
When that dickhead Kent called Bellamy out earlier this year Melbourne had a fit and acted like they are innocent. Out of nowhere Kent dropped off and didn't mention it again. Seems like newscorp told him to pull his head in
Harry and everyone Storm player past present and future do not play within the spirit of the game IMO Some in the media are calling them out on it - Kent has a huge rant this year about their shitty tactics and listed all thrir shit things over the years... Kent abd I have a special bond 😉
The problem is after the rant he comes on the next night and said "Craig and I had a good chat today about what I said "and then not another word about it.
Kent will rant and rave for weeks about the eels and all our issues but let's Melbourne off the hook. Harry Grant is very lucky to not get time for that tackle. The NRL could have made a statement about that type of tackle but because it was the heir apparent he gets off
I call bullshit
The most over used word among rugby league fans "Grub". And we as fans wonder why league has turned into days of our lives...
