Problem is, you do that and the player often just keels over and you get called in the back. I am not sure there is an easy answer on how to tackle better with the rules we currently have.
This one wasn't even 2 clear actions, Nyhuis didn't pin both his arms, Gray was more focussed on trying to get rid of the ball than protect himself, etc. There are a lot of things that could have made this much worse and Gray didn't help much.
Yep. Others have said earlier - once Gray tries to kick he hasn't got any feet planted on the floor and topples much easier. Not either players fault here - Gray is trying to dispose of the footy and Nhyuis is trying to tackle him, with enough force to bring him to ground and once Gray loses his planting, all that force goes straight to ground
