You wrap your hands around their waist, you drop their weight and you land on the back of their legs intentionally to bring them down.
But it is literally changed to if you tackle someone from behind and land on their legs, that's a hip drop.
Yeah.
It's going to genuinely get to the point where you will have to let a player run past you.
Well, Nick Arima's situation with Mitch Kenny was a perfect example of that.
I'm pretty sure he was sweet and then it was 10 in the bin.
And look, I get it.
I get the other argument as well.
Like, I understand.
You just lost a player for six weeks.
I totally understand.
That's so frustrating as a team, as a fan.
But it's kind of like...
There's got to be some middle ground.
Like I do think there are extreme circumstances like the Bailey Simonson one where it's just like, it's so extreme that you just have to, but it doesn't have to be so black and white.
Surely there's a gray area that we can land in that kind of, you know, we keep some semblance of, you know, essentially it feels like we're going to get raced to the bottom where if you ever get injured while running the ball,
you get a penalty against you.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, so I'm not sure what direction we go with the hip drop because I get where the NRL is coming from.
I get where fans are coming from, injured players.
