Prespakis charged for tackle on Sarah Hosking - Appeal fails - 1 week suspension

[kruddler]

But it has to be a high tackle, you can't just label an event that for political or personal purposes!

Prespakis tackle was nothing of the sort, she actually ended up underneath Sarah Hosking for the initial impact!

For the purposes of sling tackles or double movement tackles (Maddie did have a slight second movement to ramp up the force) the contact in question includes contact made by the ground.

The logic behind that is you could essentially spear tackle/pile drive people without a penalty because all the force and damage was made by the ground.

....and the duty of care is on the tackler
