Well at least there’s one positive for me, can now call someone I don’t like the ‘C’ word without offending women or children in earshot simply by calling them a ‘Cullen’
Seriously though both AP and TS have to make a stand against the RFL/MRP and speak out directly and publicly, even if that means short term pain for long term gain. As sitting back, saying nothing and being nice does and has done sweet FA for us.
Accidental head clashes will always happen in a full contact game especially when two very big bodies come into contact with each other.
There’s a huge difference between and intentional head contact and accidental yet the RFL/MRP seem to view Percival’s reckless and totally unavoidable shoulder to the head a lesser offence than an accidental clash of heads of which Chris seems to lower his head at the last second to to drive into the tackle with his shoulder and hit Jack around the top of his chest initially which rocks both players heads back. With that amount of contact if it was direct head to head contact you’d expect to see some form of damage on both Chris’ and/or Jacks face but there wasn’t even a mark left. Seems to me it was more a case of the affects of whiplash from the collision of a perfectly legal tackle.
So in view of the MRP as a player you are better off recklessly using a shoulder in the tackle like Percival as that seems to be seen as a lesser offence.
