Leroy Carter

The outside backs, I'm only not a one misses out.

There's no Leroy Carter.

There's no Caleb Clark.

I mean, it is stacked.

I genuinely think the only outside back that could push his way in would be Caleb Tangitao.

and it'll be at the expense of someone that's currently in the squad and I think there's a couple guys, like a Josh Morby who I rate very highly but they probably haven't shot the lights out like they did in Super Rugby.

Leroy Carter even, there's a couple wing spots there that I still think are up for grabs.

Shea Fihaki's obviously in this but that's due to Leroy Carter's injury.

So, obviously, it's an All Blacks reference because that's all I watch.

But Leroy Carter, the...

Get the CD in high school.

The All Blacks winger actually...

You know, I thought, look, he's had another really, really strong season.

He's just unlucky right now that there are players like Leroy Carter, who's been around.

Now, I know he's injured.

Josh Morby, you know, obviously, Ashay Fihaki, Will Jordan.

So really like the squad.

Before we get to the squad, we'll just mention the players who were unavailable due to injury.

Samsoni Tokiaho, Shannon Frizzell, Tyrell Lomax, Leroy Carter, Ruben Love, Adi Savia, Luke Jacobson, Caleb Clark, and Ollie Norris, and Simon Parker due to personal reasons.

So...

Frizzell just came back and now he's ruled out again.

Jacobson, Ken Clarke, Leroy Carter, Rupert Love, and Ollie Norris.

Back from injury, got Richie Mauga.

He's back.

Correct me if I'm wrong but we in domestic comps have been playing that this year haven't we?

Yeah for the last two years I think we've had it and so they've said that while it didn't have a definition I think the definition says something like you can't tackle someone early late or dangerously and then I think the interpretation that we have been told to rule is that a hip drop is dangerous despite the fact that it's not specifically wasn't specifically one of the definitions but for safety and again I think I've probably seen one or maybe two in that whole two years but they are quite hard to see I think I had it's usually when there's that last breakaway or someone steps inside or something like that and so we saw that one after that the weekend after this was announced with Leroy Carter which he's still out for and not going to the end of year test and I think it does happen a little bit more in a rugby league and NFL because they keep trying to make that ground whereas I think rugby when they're tackled they usually go to ground rather than trying to go through the tackle and get away from your support or anything like that so yeah so it's interesting to see but yeah all about just trying to keep people safer and i suppose we've seen that with the croc rolls and things that little bit of focus on the lower limb stuff about um it's not all just about head tackles and so i think there's probably two key key points that I've seen for this.

So for knee drop, I guess the key focus is thinking about when did the tackler go to ground.

So if the knee's deliberately down before making their tackle, it's a penalty.
