Did the ref penalise TP for a shoulder barge? No, he gave the scrum. All the years watching league i have never seen anyone penalised for a shoulder barge. Morley, Sam Burgess wouldnt have a career if they did.https://community.betfair.com/rugby/go/thread/view/94158/29243505/cats-v-saints?post_id=522261089#522261089ah forgot to reply to this........1.

We all enjoy a good, hard game.https://community.betfair.com/rugby/go/thread/view/94158/29243505/cats-v-saints?post_id=522196447#522196447Exactly.

Knocking someone out by shouldering them in the face is a bit like running up behind someone and hitting them in the back of the head though.Those rules are certainly clearhttps://community.betfair.com/rugby/go/thread/view/94158/29243505/cats-v-saints?post_id=522196381#522196381We all love to see big hits and it's great to see players being smashed back.

Unfortunately, in the last few years the term 'big hit' has been redefined by the RL television commentators most of whom are retired players themselves and should know better.https://community.betfair.com/rugby/go/thread/view/94158/29243505/cats-v-saints?post_id=522196179#522196179The above rule seems pretty clear.

I'm not sure much research is being done here.https://community.betfair.com/rugby/go/thread/view/94158/29243505/cats-v-saints?post_id=522195611#522195611Is it worth pointing out that in union there is nothing in the laws to prevent a big hit on the chest either?

You can make a big hit, but you are not allowed to attack the head. It's therefore very simple, if you smash someone on the chin you may well be in trouble and in both cases a lot of damagehttps://community.betfair.com/rugby/go/thread/view/94158/29243505/cats-v-saints?post_id=522194575#522194575Both Moa and Puletua hit a players head with their shoulder.
