Rapana tackling technique

People's,

If you are watching or get to watch the Raiders Dragons game can some one please explain to me how Rapana gets penaltised and put on report for a tackle tonight and not for the "try saving" tackle on Sivo two weeks ago???

The referee and bunker tonight stating that Rapana tackled with his legs and thus penalised and put on report.  Yet crickets with his hit on Sivo.  By my reckoning both were deliberate and both leading with the legs with no attempts to wrap or use arms or upper body.

Seems there is no consistency!!!

    • Not dis similar to Doueihi when penalised last year with his tackling technique against Sivo.  Only difference Rapana is deliberate and grubby!

      • Too right! amazed at  how much rapana gets away with his deliberate grubbiness 

        always enjoy watching out for the subtle square ups on him tbh :)

        • To be honest I was being reserved saying grubby.  Rapana is a down right thug.  His hit with the knees and thigh was an attack at the head of the dragons player. 

  • Simply agree Eel nut

  • At least the NRL is consistent. Consistent when it comes to Parramatta. Hip drop tackle never heard of until Parramatta cops it. Must tackle using arms unless against Parramatta etc.
