I'm curious how the dangerous tackles are found/reported etc. - does an umpire highlight in his report to review it? Do clubs "dob" in opposition tackles?
I know of a game on the weekend received 4x yellow cards for dangerous tackles, but not one report.. yet sides like North Haven and Goodwood have been slammed.
On another note, surely the Hope Valley Women's coach is tapped on the shoulder and told don't bother coming back.. twice in the same season for umpire intimidation / abuse charges.
