The practice of leading with a forearm has arisen from the now valueless tackle around the legs.... Now we have RL forearm smashing to combat RL chest tackling created by a flat attack v a flat defence !!!! Aarrgghhhhh
A look at any Union match from 1970 onward & you'll see very little of this ..... But its as calculated as deliberately driving your knees up toward a would-be tackler was in those days!
Conversely watch RL 1970+ and the style its rife...
Plague spread needs ridding !
Well done that ref, more backbone required,.
I always penalise the forearm lunge/smash,
A) its incendary
B) its illegal
C) its soon cut out
D) players prefer not receiving them !
