Wigan Warriors • Duty of care
Just reading the beeb and there's a story about Alex Walmsley's knee operation
but this the image that accompanies the story
When was the last time a ball carrier was penalised for high contact? I fully understand the argument that a player who slips and is caught high is still a penalty etc, so why does it not work both ways. surely all players have a duty of care to each other?
Its the same way a ball carrier can lead with a shoulder but not the tackler.
This isn't a whinge about the final by the way, just the image made me think that if this was a tackler on ball carrier we'd be putting up the gallows now
