[Law] Incorrect Mark

what does 'monstered' mean ? is it the same as ''seriously injured' ?

(But yes, in practice I do agree that 'PLAY ON' is almost always going to be the correct call)

Sorry, "monstered" is just a big tackle. Can be completely legal but it's just a big hit.

my point really was: would you be happy to say

I completely disagree with stopping the game just because I can see that the player is going to get seriously injured. If you well "play on" then they should react enough to brace for a tackle or pass the ball.

because that sounds a bit wrong.

How do you know if they are going to get seriously injured before the tackle occurs? I used to play in the backrow and the amounts of times I caught the ball and was hit by a tackle simultaneously was high, however I wouldn't expect the referee to stop a tackler making a tackle just because it looks like it will be a big hit.

Which was my point as well.

It's a collision sport. You can't stop the game because of an imminent collision!
