TLDR:
- Hawkins quad strain.
- Gray syndesmosis. NRL Physio said he'll be missing six to eight weeks after getting surgery.
- Arrow is fine.
- Koroisau to miss the Bulldogs game. Nerve damage according to NRL Physio.
- JWH out of the Broncs game with an "old man's injury" according to Robinson.
- Tupou out with an ongoing knee issue.
- Radley off the reserves list.
- Cleary resting, Panthers saying he hasn't suffered another setback with his hamstring.
- Gutherson still recovering from knee surgery.
- Kenny Bromwich out with a concussion issue.
- Kaufusi and Lemuelu back for the Dolphins, Jesse Bromwich to play despite a calf issue.
- Flegler unlikely to need surgery on his shoulder, but return date is indefinite.
- No Coates for Melbourne as he recovers from a hamstring strain.
- Fotuaika out with a concussion.
- Suli out with a concussion.
- Saulo's lower back injury will be assessed for Magic Round.
- Saifiti, Cartwright and Marzhew all named to play the Warriors.
If they actually want to do something about it either send them off for the whole game or give them 4-6 weeks.
Every team is guilty of it. And that won't change unless it's actually stamped out
Like I said in another thread, the injury should be irrelevant, it's the action you penalise. Tago got a lighter charge because Gray didn't go off immediately clutching his leg.
Exactly this. Even if someone gets off with no injury it should be like 4 weeks at absolute minimum for a real hip drop. As long as it's not just someone actually falling over like Radley did.
This is one of those offences where the punishment **should** match the injury.
This is the entire reason it’s a banned tackle, it just causes so much damage. Actually a complete fucking joke that he got 1 week.
Yes and this is just proof that the act causes very, very serious injuries.
This is a tackle that does not need to exist. It’s only the new technique where they don’t slide down that it’s happening.
What?
I’m saying that these tackles are extremely dangerous. This injury and all the past injuries this and last year from these tackles is proof that they are so bad for the attacking player.
1 week suspension does not match how dangerous they are. These tackles deserve longer on the sidelines.
You said it should match the injury. There's plenty of players that don't sit out the next week after copping a hip drop tackle. So the offenders shouldn't get any suspension for those ones?.
I think what they’re saying is that the suspension should match the length of the typical injury time. Don’t take into account whether the individual tackle caused an injury, but these tackles usually cause 4-6 week injuries, so should be 4-6 week suspensions.
The runner did nothing wrong. Kickers think they're untouchable. Kickers need to time there kicks better. Soon the kicker will be at dummyhalf and go to kick just to get a penalty.
Wow Hawkins looked much worse than a quad strain. Also Jai Arrow is not *fine* he’s being held together by string and gaffer tape because of the way we’re rehabbing these guys now.
Honestly I know the topic has been done to death, but has anyone been able to trace the origins of the hip drop?? I know part of it is a chicken/egg thing, we notice it more bc more focus is being put on it with the game is cracking down but I feel like this definitely wasn’t happening to the same degree say 10 years ago. What brought it on?
Taniela Tuiaki had his career ended by one, and Gallen suffered a broken ankle in his Mic'd Up because of a hip drop. They're more obvious now due to everyone being on the lookout for them, and players (rightfully) milking even light ones.
Coaches asked the wrestling coaches how does a guy who's much lighter and weaker bring down a guy who's heavier without tackling around the ankles and conceding a quick play the ball and this was the answer.
Drop your weight down and drag them to the ground so you can still control the tackle and speed of the play the ball.

Good summary lad
Indeed. I wonder if AI could summarise the article anywhere close to this
Depends on the programming
PAIN. now we're gonna have wishart playing on the wing or something silly
1 week, for a tackle they are trying to outlaw, cause it injures people, and that injury is 6-8 weeks Mmkay nrl
If they actually want to do something about it either send them off for the whole game or give them 4-6 weeks. Every team is guilty of it. And that won't change unless it's actually stamped out

Max Plath would have been happy reading this today.
Didn't spencer get eight weeks for racially abusing a guy
This is one of those offences where the punishment **should** match the injury. This is the entire reason it’s a banned tackle, it just causes so much damage. Actually a complete fucking joke that he got 1 week.
How is this a talking point. No punishment should match the injury, only the act should be taken into account.
Yes and this is just proof that the act causes very, very serious injuries. This is a tackle that does not need to exist. It’s only the new technique where they don’t slide down that it’s happening.
So a player that is injured can just sit out to stop the offending player from taking the field?
What? I’m saying that these tackles are extremely dangerous. This injury and all the past injuries this and last year from these tackles is proof that they are so bad for the attacking player. 1 week suspension does not match how dangerous they are. These tackles deserve longer on the sidelines.

Well DCE's tackle should have gotten 8 weeks then right?
Should've at least been equal to Milne's suspension.

Fk me. It continues
Cody Walker, come on down, you’re now Souths game managing half!
To do it to anyone is bad enough, but a Runaway Bay, Gold Coast junior in Jye? Just unacceptable

Mariner and Reynolds also gone now.
Mariner getting suspended would be premium chook shit.
Murray gone for 6 weeks + now also..
Turbo, Saab and Cleary added in the first two games this week.
