What a sissy rule, this lifting in a tackle! Lyon would have been applauded by the likes of Provan, Kearney, Wells, Holman, Gasnier et al., in the old days of true Rugby League.Peter Diversey, of Gundagai, and of Norths, was famous for his tackles ... the opponent was lifted a full four or five feet and dumped unceremoniously, to the full cheer of a suitably impressed footy crowd. The dust would rise, the tackled player would get up, play the ball, and on with the game.Today? Hrmmmmf! Hankies and tears!!!!To view your comment online go to: http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/comments/0,,21745438-5001023,00.html
