Yup. Don't pin the arm.Great decision. If you demonstrate a duty of care to your opponent in the tackle then you get off. If you don’t you rightly get pinged.
Hope this sends a message to all players in all grades
The player being tackled also has some responsibilty to themselves. If they have an arm free, they can brace for contact with the ground. Neale could've also let the ball go or dispose of it.
Previously, players were ducking and dropping their bodies to get head high frees. Umpires stopped paying those frees and majority of players have stopped doing it (intentionally). If umpires started paying these tackles as free kicks for the tackler, then maybe players would try harder to dispose of it, rather than hold onto the ball and hope for the free kick of head high.
