Did Trent Hodge kick the ball that lead to the try?

Pug Smugly posted:Watched the game for one reason last night and was well rewarded. All of a sudden I don't hate Ben Te'o. Seriously though the shoulder charge rule should be all about contact with the head, not using the shoulder to make contact. The onus should be on Te'o there to ensure he doesn't whack SBW in the head with his shoulder and he did just that. Leveled him by nailing him right in the shoulder. Was a fantastic hit.

The idea is to try and prevent concussions though, which can be caused by things other than a hit to the head. Trying to get them to tackle with their arms and bring the guy to the ground instead of crunching him into next week seems better for safety and also will help speed the play-the-ball, if a lightning-quick game is what people want

Pretty much everyone except the lawmakers think the line between player safety and entertainment in regards to shoulder charges should be drawn at shots to the head (i.e how it was the season before last). All they needed to do was ramp up the penalties for legitimate dangerous tackles while allowing the crunching big hits nowhere near the head like we saw from Te'o.

We were getting into fairly dangerous territory there with shots to the head, and much as I would like the return to just punishing anyone who connects with the head heavily we all know how retarded the players are. My concern is if we roll it back to being legal to this extent you'll see some serious head injuries. Then again, this may just be over-concern - it's not like there were that many injuries before. Maybe it would be worse nowadays because of the general improvements to fitness allowing players to be able to line up big hits more often. In other words, I don't know.

Banning shoulder charges felt like a kneejerk reaction, especially when you consider that they really haven't made significant improvements with respect to penalising shots to the head or looking after players who have suffered head injuries during games. There are too many who are allowed to play on even though they have been obviously knocked out.

They also seem to pick and choose when to apply the shoulder charge rule depending on which club/player offends. edit: Superleague superstar Mick Dobson!
