[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 952439, member: 40658"] The issue is that by not using his arms to wrap around the player he essentially doesn’t qualify for mitigation. As he’s in essence doing a shoulder charge on hooper due to the lack of his arm wrapping the player. Your contention of height is also not a point of contention for mitigation, as Barrett’s point of contact (his shoulder) is would have made contact on the upper part of Hooper even if Hooper wasn’t falling due to Coles’ tackle, as Barrett was coming from a higher position to a lower position. While Hooper was at all times lower than Barrett. It’s extremely unlikely that another outcome would have been reached in that instance. Even if Mitigation was qualified. Which it was not. [/QUOTE]
