"The problem is that these types of tackles have found their way to park football, and players are wondering why they get penalised for it when they see it on TV."

OH COME ON !!!

Are you that naive ??

There are MANY things that happen on TV games that park referees dont allow. Do you remeber how everyone had to put the ball on the ground and tap it with the foot to bring the ball back into play after a kick for touch ?

The sanitization of this game in the last 10-15 years is appalling. Ever since the NRL coaches have been the ones making changes to the law book to suit themselves the game has gone donw the toilet. Sure it might be a great spectacle on TV but it's caused pandamonium at grass roots level.

Little wonder so many people have moved across to support Aussie Rules.
