What part of will day's tackling action was incorrect and should be taught not to do? (here come a series of stills, which part is the part where his action/technique caused the sling tackle AND is avoidable?)
The below is as close to frame by frame as i could get the replay.
At which frame does Day commit the wrong technique/action that cause the dangerous tackle? What part of this tackle could have been done differently to not have had the this outcome? Not tackling is not an option. Is there something in this tackling action that can be taught not to do?
Before tackle starts
Close is running past Day and Day lunges to lay a tackle on the body
The tackle is laid and Day as a result of his lunge, loses his feet
During the tackle, both players feet entangle
Days feet are swining behind and under close as he holds onto him.
Day without any solid footing is falling to the ground.
Days right leg traps Close's such that Close loses his footing.
Day is still falling backwards
Close, having lost his footing now falls back in the same direction that Day is falling.
The fall continues. Close starts to pivot around his trapped foot
The pivot around the trapped foot continues as they both fall in a twisting motion.
Close's knee impacts the ground first. Day is already on the ground, but still holds the tackle. The foot is free now.
Close hits face 2nd into the ground as Days tackle sticks.
Closes momentum starts to pull Day off the ground
The outcome was dangerous, no question. Is it due to poor tackling or unfortunate accident?
Ironically a very similar tackling technique was done by Dangerfield 10 seconds before Days tackle but at a much slower speed on Nash. Ill put it in spoilers cos its not at all relevant to the Days, just some irony.

Dangerfield has a lot more control in this tackle than Day and it was at a significantly slower speed and Nash has 1 arm free. But the rotation and falling back with Nash falling next to him then rolling on top of Nash is the same motion from the Day tackle.
