Because we've watched it a few times now, and we can still feel it. Steve Matai crashed into an unsuspecting Dave Tyrrell in a NRL game between South Sydney Rabbitohs and Manly Sea Eagles. The South Sydney player collected a pass and attempted to run straight down the middle. He went about two yards before Matai absolutely levelled him. https://twitter.com/therealfanatix/status/614381706934644736 Matai ran through the blind-sighted Tyrrell for a short-cut, bulldozing his opponent and laying him clean out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNXkEkhT4Sc The South Syndey player has previous. Here's his "greatest hits" from last season, have a look if you're brave enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oyj7lTro4NY
