Parramatta powerhouse Junior Paulo maintains he did not make a hip-drop tackle on Broncos star David Fifita on Friday night and knows the controversial tackling technique 'is something we're trying to scrap out of our game' | mrchrisnico

The charge sheet would have stunned Eels coach Brad Arthur and skipper Clint Gutherson, who were already bemused Paulo had been penalised in the first place for his second-half defensive effort.

NRL head of football Graham Annesley was so concerned by the increasing prevelance of the tackle that he fired off an email to all clubs in July about the need to eradicate it. Fifita signed a $3.5 million deal to join the Gold Coast Titans and was meant to farewell Broncos fans on Thursday night. The syndesmosis injury will also means he misses Queensland's Origin campaign.

In what was a controversial night for the officials, a certain Eels try was ruled out for a knock-on after Perenara decided Gutherson had knocked the ball on when batting the ball on to winger Blake Ferguson. Gutherson was able to challenge the call because Perenara had ruled it a knock on, rather than a forward pass, despite the ball not touching the ground or an opposition player.

mrchrisnico What is a hip drop tackle? I've got no idea, that tackle looked perfectly legal, he was unlucky to be injured.

mrchrisnico Agree the player just made a tackle. One I didn't like was the cheap knees by bulldog on Walker, Thursday night
