.SydneyRoosters coach Trent Robinson has called for referees to take the impact on the attacking player into account when dishing out sin-binnings for hip-drop tackles as he warned games could be reduced to “10-a-side”. NRL 7NEWS
Robinson has been a strong critic of the hip-drop tackle but has conceded that mistakes happen in the heat of battle.
And the Roosters coach argued that officials dishing out on-field sanctions should factor in the impact of the tackle, which is defined by a defending player dropping his weight onto the back of an attacker’s legs.“There’s no injury whatsoever, but the cause of what happened in that moment, Butch gets 10,” Robinson said.“I understand the ones where the attacker is injured but there was no injury.
The New Zealander clobbered Sharks utility Cameron McInnes high in the second half and was sent to the sin bin as well. Despite being the victim of a hip-drop tackle, the Sharks Briton Nikora seemed uninjured and went on to score a try against the Roosters.“I don’t really have an issue with what’s happening , but I don’t feel like that was loose or careless in any way,” Robinson said.“We don’t want head high contact in our game.”
