I wish people would watch that tackle and look at it properly it was lonegans swinging arm that cracked his shoulder not the drive into the deck
He cracked him accross the shoulder but he was trying to belt his head
The front on view shows it clearly

''At the opening bounce Robert Copeland wrapped an arm around me and I knew that he would be my date for the evening. There was a plan to give me a bit of help so that every chance we got, a teammate would give him a nudge off the ball to give me a bit more space - but it didn't last.'' - MARC MURPHY, 2006

A COUPLE of things have changed since Robert Copeland's vigorous tackle dislocated Marc Murphy's left shoulder and ended his debut season in Round 13, 2006, at the Gabba.

"Back then we were a side that was losing every week, and in that situation blokes probably played more for themselves, whereas in a winning team it's just natural we will look after each other.

"We have a strong physical list now. And what I let happen then I wouldn't let happen now."
