Watch how many of these are "shoulder charges". I think they will do the majority of penalising post game in suspensions rather than in the game
One or two of the tackles were a little sus but the vast majority were just good solid tackles. The thing to look for is where his arms are. If they are open and engulfing even if he hits first with the shoulder, I understand that they are OK. It's when the arm is held down and the player thrust forward with the shoulder without any apparent intent to tackle that it is the offending tackle. I saw two, and both when Matai was younger, that looked suspicious. The rest were fine. Just hope the refs understand that and dont start penalised legit tackles.
