The NRL has reminded bunker officials to take more time on calls for hip-drop tackles and to not sin-bin players if they have any doubt on whether there is foul play. NRL 7NEWS
Broncos forward Patrick Carrigan was sent to the sin-bin for a hip-drop tackle against the Melbourne Storm, while Sharks forward Braden Hamlin-Uele was the victim of a hip-drop tackle against the North Queensland Cowboys.Carrigan has since been cleared of foul play, with NRL head of football Graham Annesley pointing out on Monday the Broncos star had landed on the ground first.
“Sometimes, under pressure and under time constraints, they won’t always look at the best available view.Carrigan’s incorrect sin-binning came at the worst time for the NRL, which has spent the opening two months of the season insisting there is no internal confusion on hip-drops. “If there’s any doubt from the bunker, about the degree of force that’s been used on the legs, then they still have the option of putting somebody on report and not sending them to the sin-bin,” he said.
