Rabbitohs coach Wayne Bennett was straight to the point when asked about a controversial Jack Wighton hip-drop tackle.
“I think anybody who has ever been in rugby league will not agree that was a hip-drop tackle,” Bennett said.
“What was he supposed to do, touch him and let him run to the tryline? Because that’s where he was heading.
“It was a tackle from behind, it was as simple as that. It was no more than that. It was a really good tackle.”
