Where in the rules does it say a sling tackle supercedes holding the ball?
I know the HTB happens first so is it a reversal? If so why is there no reversal when a player pushes down on a player in the back after he is given a holding the ball free?

Any HTB tackle must be legal (not high/ in the back/ dangerous)
I get what you're saying. It just that unlike high or in the back the tackle is only illegal at the point he hits the ground,. It was clear HTB until then.

2+? Lucky to be a free.
That's textbook HTB. Ump seemed desperate for a bit of air time.

If Blakey had shoulders he wouldn't have got concussed

After they suspend 15 odd players in 13 rounds for the exact same thing?
Actually, it's the AFL, that's not out of the question.
Can't wait to see a few dumping tackles in the prelims given a big tick of approval
He will get rubbed out by the MRP we will appeal and he should have it overturned

Yes, but a tackle must be completed, then it's HTB
In what way was it a dumping tackle? He tackled him side-on and didn't change the angle, didn't sling, it was a perfect tackle. If anything it was Blakey's fault for just standing there like a stunned mullet at CHB

I mean the proof is in the pudding, subbed off concussed after a tackle that drove his head into the turf

Perfect tackle and just a deer in the headlights was Blakey. What was he doing and what did he expect to happen to him.
That could happen any time someone is tackled when they don't expect it, what other possible way was there to make the tackle?
OP salty Sydney supporter because Buddy the spuddy limped to 350 and he and his team are cooked.

Agree - should be 2+ weeks for Blakey having NFI of his surroundings.
Great tackle.
Great tackle.

There were 153 tackles tonight that didn't result in concussion
Salty that Parker was rubbed out of tonight for a weaker tackle against a bloke that got up and played out the game without even needing an assessment. Ya boi is cooked.

Well we'll see how you react when he's wiped out for 3 weeks for "what should be HTB"
I did start this thread for genuine discussion but if you wanna throw "salty" and "cope" s**t around I'll party
Butler didn’t drive Blakey’s head into the ground. Blakey is being dragged down but his left knee digs into the turf. As such momentum changes from mostly downwards to mostly forwards and causes the rest of his body to rotate from that point.
