This is a great hit but very easy to line it up after Pocock jumping to catch a pass. I'm much more impressed by the hits where the attacker stands a chance and still gets smashed. By the way, everyone saying this should be a penalty doesn't know the rules. It's only from a kick that the in the air thing applies. If you jump whilst catching a pass then you can expect to be on the end of one of these...

Just for clarity I'm a huge Hask fan. Just think they've chosen a bad example of good tackling in the modern age...5 years ago this would have been a monster hit. Now it's questionably on the wrong side of the law. The player is landed on his back/neck out of control something that's trying to be taken out of the game.
