Strange new tackles

Well I have't watched a lot of rugby recently, I haven't got Sky, I don't even know where to watch the NRL in the UK now that Setanta have gone bust and for some annoying reason (I think it is to do with the F1) the BBC have been putting the Super League show on Monday afternoons when I'm in work and I rarely have time to watch it on iPlayer.

And with missing all this rugby league I'm clearing missing out on some amazing new illegal tackles, Tony Clubb from Harlequins faces disciplinary action this week for a "head slam" tackle and down under I have heard reports of crusher tackles!? WTF this sounds like a round of Mortal Kombat rather than a game of rugby, what on earth have I missed!
