[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 677110, member: 71068"] Utter rubbish. Contact should be with the shoulder and upperarm/bicep in unison, as much for the tacklers safety as the ball carriers. Arms and hand should be up ready to wrap or grip not down around his hip. Otherwise it's not much more than a shoulder charge (which this was)... The point is he had no intention of wrapping his arm around Burger to effect the tackle it was a cheap shot. If Burger hadn't fallen it would still have been a cheap and dangerous hit. [/QUOTE]
