Verrills didn't move at all. The guy ran into his shoulder.
By that logic a bloke can take a hit-up with his elbow fully cocked. If a defender is stupid enough to run into it and bust his jaw: then fuck it, play on.

There are many ways to make a tackle.
a front on tackle tackling high you always dip, as i said bad tackle tech. It is universally taught that way these days, dip and hit on or under the ball. you dont stand straight like he did, he also looses any power with no dip

Verills looks to be "dipping" to me, for perfect alignment to dislodge the ball if Kelley doesn't fall;

great shot, look at the 12 beside him, that is dipping into the tackle. hit him at that and all is ok. he is dipping he is leaning, no power base at all in that tackle.

Timing, if Kelley doesn't fall into him then Verills has time and space to carry on the dipping that he has already started.

you dip from the knees, hands up elbows in, dont see any of that. Incorrect technique but it is a split second response. i dont agree with the suspension but thats the rules at present and Paulo should have gone also.

Kelly's level didn't change at all from 1st impact by the bloke that hit him before Verrils did. Verrils was always going to hit him at that height.

That's as ridiculous as saying Kelly deliberately threw himself into Verills to get the penalty. You can run with your arms in front of you, but you can't raise them to deliberately hit a defender in the head.

Those score lines will be fairly close to the mark and if I'm being honest, I'd rather lose to Manly by 30 than can beat by the scabs by any number.

Actually think the Roosters are a good chance because good sides will shut Turbo down. Melbourne showed the blueprint.

As a Roosters supporter I rarely tip against them but they are no chance of winning now having lost Manu Taukeiho and Verrills in recent weeks . Turbo will score at least 2 tries and Manly will score 40 plus

Weirdly Verrils out is the best news for you. Walker might play more than 5 minutes. All over Roosters line and a bit Head to Head whilst I think Manly win it won't be by as much as many think.

No it’s not. Verrills is a really good number nine . Big loss

Some of the suspensions this year and rulings have been extremely inconsistent to say the least
but you ist have to move on because the nrl simply doesn’t care about the fans in general

Freakzilla said Verrills didn't move at all and Kelly fell onto his shoulder. So as I pointed out in a post after that, Kelly's head didn't dip whatsoever after he was first impacted by Toupinua so in that regard Verrills was always going to contact Kelly in the face. That makes it a careless tackle.
