Video: Rugby League player almost decapitates opponent with ludicrous clothesline tackle

He wasn't even sent off

This sort of carry on wouldn’t look out of place in the WWE.

Wests Tigers player Mitchell Moses has come under fire for a shocking high tackle he made on William Zillman of the Gold Coast Titans at the weekend.

Moses cynically caught Zillman around the neck with his arm as he was sprinting towards him which sent him crashing down to the turf in a heap. Zillman felt the full force of the impact and lay prone on the ground in agony for several minutes after the disgusting foul.

Remarkably, Moses was not sent off for the incident. The referee put him on report and awarded the penalty to the Titans. However, reports from Australia are suggesting he could be facing a suspension of upwards from six weeks from the game.
