JOC (James O'Connor) looked pretty pissed when getting the ice put on - hopefully just annoyed to be out of the game and not an indication of severity.
Flook’s shoulder didn’t seem great. Looked like they tried to for a number of minutes to pop it back in on field but it was still out when he went off.
Looked like a physical game, albeit pretty loose (at the ruck in particular, as others have noted), from the stands.
Any clarification on why the clear out on McReight wasn’t a red for dangerous play? Didn’t seem like there was enough force in the involvement of the second MP (Moana Pasifika) player to be a mitigating factor.

Couldn’t agree more!!
Surely you would structure your attack to just ‘get him the ball’?
Too much money for one player...

Has the 900k figure been confirmed officially? Or is it scuttlebutt?

I found it interesting that the shoulder hitting first is the main discussion point, didn't his head then hit the ground after his shoulder?

I would prefer the ball to get to Jock the way he is scoring tries this season.

Gees the reds are just not looking like any chance of troubling the top teams at the moment. Probably missing that bit of quality which part injury related but probably part needing some new players recruitment wise. But also they just look lack lustre…coaching issues, players on the departure lounge checked out or something else?..not sure…but something not right in reds land at the moment.

Haven't watched a replay since but that's how it looked from the stands and on the big screen

Pure speculation (for the Reds' contribution anyway)

Shoulder definitely hits the ground first, but doesn't really take any load until the head hits as well. Solid whack

^ holy fucking shitballs, Batman! How was that not deemed a tip tackle? Looks textbook to me: even if the guy on the right doesn't let go the jersey likely tears or rides up & the end result's the same.

Head and shoulder at the same time for me.
I think the question needs to change from intention, force, point of contact etc to could he have been paralysed from the tackle, in this case yes and a red card.
While ever we have the farcical 20 minute red card rule we should be using them.
