Here are some facts:

  • Oval ball shape in dispute with two players going flat out to get it.
  • Archer realises he is going to be 2nd to the ball and noticeably slowed down
  • Archer is entitled to think that Cleary is going to keep his feet and he will be in a good position to tackle/pressure him
  • Cleary goes to ground and he subsequently takes out Archer's legs.


Hard to fathom we couldn't argue this successfully, although in reading the transcript we gave it our best shot.


It's going to look awkward later in the year when two players wait for the other player to get to the ball first and neither goes hard as they don't want to injure their opposing player.
