Injuries Caused Deliberately by Opposition

Specifically in relation to Payne Hass and his obviously deliberate 'hip drop' tackle which has seen RCG out for up to 10 weeks with injury I personally don't consider a 2 week suspension anywhere near adequate discipline. RCG is going to miss possibly up to 10 weeks and Hass 2 weeks. I would personally like to see players that are clearly and deliberately causing injuries to opposition players remain out of their respective teams for the equal amount of time the injured player is out. Whether that means the guilty player doesn't play at all or if they're relegated to the reserve grade side I seriously think it should be considered. It's for one thing fair and adequate consequence and a very strong deterrent for future deliberate injuries caused to players. What do others think?🤔

  • What if they die? Francis Molo tackled a guy high a few years ago in Q Cup and he died as a result.

    • Really I wasn't aware of that! I guess it depends on a lot of circumstances. I cannot begin to imagine how the player who tackled him feels. Thats absolutely devastating 

    • Obviously he should be hung derrrrr 🤷‍♂️🤣

      • Thats a little extreme

      • The nrl introduces capital punishment, about time

        • Some of the current games already feel like capital punishment 

    • lol

      • Loll 🤣😆 your comments are just so hot 🔥

    • So glad you don't 😂🤣. Your very funny fella Dr. Wrong 

  • Unenforcable. 

    How was the Haas tackle 'obviously deliberate'? IMO the Mam and Nanai tackles were way more obviously deliberate.

    So there you have it, opinions would mean we'd still have lack of adequate or far too harsh consequences.
