This was the perfect opportunity for the NRL to introduce either a send off for a shoulder charge rule or a five minute bin, really think they've missed a trick, could even make the 5 minute bin like ice hockey, if the other team scores, the binned player returns.
Because there was separation of his arm from his side before contact as he attempted the tackle/charge and initial contact was sternum not shoulder. as opposed to mason which was bracing and shoulder even tho it was in-effective and mason bounced backwards..

dumb rule the way they worded it anyway
