So in other words, no different to the SBW hit on Marcus Bai that had various retards on here proclaiming him to be the hardest man on the planet then?

He is supposed to hit the player (no matter how big or how small) legally ie shoulder and below. This he failed to do and was rightly penalised.'"
I thought Sky only broadcast in 720p?
Burrow's biggest asset is also his biggest problem. If you look at that tackle (in any resolution) Burrow's knees are bent and he's leaning over quite a lot when the tackler hits him. Being as he's only 5'5" standing straight up his head must be between about 4' and 4'6" off the ground when the tackler hit him so quite difficult to miss for a big guy.
The other thing about Burrow getting hit in the head (but not this time) is that his main way of avoiding tackles is to duck under them. He can't be too surprised then when he smacked in the melon can he?

| Could you draw my attention to the section of the RFL rule book that makes tackling a player around the head acceptable is he is below a certain height or bent in a certain position?
TIA.

My TV very kindly tells me the quality of the input signal from my Sky HD box when I change channel (when viewing through the HDMI connection.) It says 1080i but I suppose it could be lying to me. Either way still better than whatever 'You Tube' manage to output into my pc, which at times leaves a lot to be desired.

It's not a matter of whether he or you or I are surprised when he get's hit high it's whether the law regarding what constitutes a legal and illegal tackle applies to all players irrespective of a player's height.
I would suggest it does. And you?
Watmough's right bicep clearly contacts Burrow above the shoulder and it was a penalty to Leeds just the same as it would have been had Peacock been on the receiving end.

| Only just seen it. He's flying towards Burrow before the ball is even thrown to him. Rubbish throw by Peacock and he shouldn't have passed to him anyway.
I'm blame Peacock personally for us losing that game

I'd suggest that teams employ a midget who would therefore be more or less untackleable unless the defence was prepared to lie down and risk being penalised for trip.

It's odd that Leeds' fans don't have an issue with Burrow's height.

Saints fans have a problem with him because they are sick of him tearing them apart at Old Trafford.

The ref had to stop play though because you can't have an player knocked out in the middle of play.

Neither do I, I'm just saying that it creates problems in deciding what's a high tackle and what isn't.
When Burrow gets a hospital pass and out of the corner of his eye sees a big bloke coming at him very fast he's bound to take evasive action. If that action taken in the split second before impact results in a what would have been a legal chest high tackle becoming a head shot then whose fault is that?

How, aren't his shoulders still at the top of his torso and below his neck?
Anything above the shoulder is high.

| So if a player ducks into a tackle or slips at the last second and gets hit in the head that's the tackler's fault?
