The Tip Sheet fires up this week as Sixties, Forty20 and Clint unload on the NRL greenlighting an incredibly dangerous chest slam tackle technique. The fallout from Graham Annesley's Round 23 debrief continues with Annesley's declaration that Clinton Gutherson had clear intent to strip the ball in his try saving tackle on Jacob Liddle.
