Paul Curtis tackle

[RCAB]

MATCH REVIEW: Roo learns fate for heavy tackle on young Eagle

The Match Review Officer's findings are in from Saturday's games in round 14

Second time he's been cited, but was just an ordinary tackle you see 100 times. Didn't pile drive the players head into the turf.

Should challenge it.

 

[DocSholl]

No chance. Pinned arms + concussion + priors + small club = suspension.

 

[Harveysuth]

Case will get thrown out in ten minutes

 

[Hojuman]

No chance. Pinned arms + concussion + priors + small club = suspension.

Arms weren't pinned. He had both out as he was falling down, watch closely.

 

[TY24]

Bit of a trend emerging here, Mr Curtis.

 

[Astro35]

Only a matter of time before he was suspended again. Absolute loose unit.

 

[TY24]

They're still restricted above the elbow which prevents Davis from being able to protect himself

Not to mention that Curtis landed square in his back late...well after the ball was disposed of.

U have a screw loose if you seriously think he should of been suspended.

He had the ball as Curtis tackled him.

 

[TY24]

He had the ball as Curtis tackled him.

No he didn't. He'd already handpassed it.

Late tackle that knocked a bloke out. Grub.

What's that, 3 suspensions in less than 100 games? Bit of a pattern there.

I know you've got an emotional bias but it really wasn't that reckless. It all happened in a split second and Davis lost his footing at the same time Curtis grabbed him.

I don't expect him to get off but let's not pretend it's anything more than unfortunate.

Now, go back a frame or 2.

 

[TY24]

Now, go back a frame or 2.

Why? All that's going to show is Davis with the ball and Curtis not tackling him.

If you open both eyes you'll see that Davis had already got rid of the ball before Curtis touches him.

3 suspensions before he's played 100 games... none of them are his fault though apparently

Davis losing his footing is the issue and why he goes to ground.

Needs to phone a friend in Eddie and get Collingwood's lawyer on the blower

Poor Paul. Nothing's ever his fault, must be hard to play footy when the whole league is out to get you

Should've just broken his neck and he would've been fine

 

[Roosurgence]

Bit of a trend emerging here, Mr Curtis.

The only trend is that he needs to stop tackling players with the strength of an infant girl.

Not his fault Davis doesn’t have any strength to hold his feet when tackled fairly and properly.

How was it a fair tackle when Davis didn't have possession of the ball and Curtis landed squarely in his back?

 

[TY24]

You found your reply button!

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Doesn’t sling, doesn’t shove him in the back, clearly to the side (side momentum to slow descent) and clearly allowed the tackle player’s arms to be free to cushion the fall. Clearly based on an outcome than action.

Judging this incident on his previous suspensions (some of which were BS too) is a pissweak strawman.

Except his arms are clearly still pinned above the elbow. Try again!

That is how tackles are made. I shouldn’t have to explain basic biology, but you can move your lower arms and cushion falls if pinned above the elbows. Funny how the lower arms and hands were clearly moving with the palms clearly on the floor with the lower arms not even remotely pinned.
