Re: MRO Thread
I thought Pickett should've gotten a week. He led with his head into a tackle that he made almost no attempt to stick, which is some early 2000's NFL idiocy. He's lucky that Ed was the only one concussed.

At least someone agrees with me.
That was no tackle, or accidental contact. Charging in like that with head forward is irresponsible.

Agree with you too BAD. Had his head up going for the ball saw Ed then lowered his head. Like a battering ram would.

He kind of ducked at the last second, I watched it again I wasn't as upset as first viewing. I really like Ed so wasn't happy.

I think he was in two minds and maybe went to tackle late.
I'm with you it was reckless, not even a free is baffling to me.
But not sure he should be rubbed out after I watched again, lots of shoulder contact but he did concuss him.

Re: MRO Thread
I don't think Pickett even gets Ed high so I'm not sure what exactly he should be charged with? I think Ed's concussion is a whiplash type injury, your brain can bounce around in your skull from a big hit without direct head contact.

Looked like an attempted tackle to me, just didn't stick it with the force of the impact.

It's literally an attempted tackle. If one of our players did it we'd be lauding his gutsy attack.

Leading with the head though? I thought it was incredibly stupid.

Stupid, sure? Reportable? Of course not.

Re: MRO Thread
What a joke Buddy can throw a “clumsy” (deliberate) elbow at an opponents head and get off with a fine. Low impact through pure luck that Ryan wasn’t concussed.

Yet Daniel gets a week for a tackle that looked dangerous.
I'm still pissed off about that. Bulldogs are the only club to never get decisions overturned at the tribunal
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!
