LOW HIGH SHOTS

Regarding the 2 high shots on Warringtons players who were falling into the tackle. IMO they should not be penalties just one of those things that happen in a contact sport. They would not have been penalties if they had gone down on the tacklers knee.
These penalties got Warrington out of trouble in their own 15 metre area and put them another 30 metres down field. If these penalties are RFL rules they should be ditched as the tackler is committing no offence when his arms are so low down in the tackle. Evil or Very Mad

If they are the rules then our players should dip their heads as they run into a tackle with the ball. We'd be up the other end of the field in no time.

Every time Rob Burrow slips over or loses his footing and drops into a tackler's arm he gets an instant penalty. That has bugged me for ages. Just because he is of a smaller stature than average and can't keep his feet whilst trying to step does NOT mean he was hit high imo.
