DYLAN Napa is in serious doubt for the finals after knocking out Brisbane No.9 Andrew McCullough in a tackle leading with his head.

It was disturbingly similar to the incident in the corresponding fixture in Round 11, in which Napa broke Korbin Sims’ jaw.

Fox League expert Greg Alexander said he can’t keep being allowed to continue with his flawed technique, after he was cleared by the match review committee over the Sims contact.

“It’s dangerous Vonny [Sampson]. Absoutely it’s a technique problem,” Alexander said.

“For him to launch head first at a player with the footy, well that’s dangerous.

“In that one with Korbin Sims it did break his jaw. Todd Greenberg came out after that and said the match review committee got it wrong.

“And after seeing that one again on Andrew McCullough and Korbin Sims he’s got to be suspended. There’s got to be some sort of action taken against Dylan Napa.”

The Roosters firebrand was placed on report and sent to the sin bin for this latest incident.

In good news for the Broncos, it is being reported that McCullough was heavily concussed and has a deep laceration, but was not seriously injured.

In explaining why Napa was sent for 10, Gerard Sutton told Roosters captain Jake Friend, “The onus is on [Napa] not to make any careless contact with the head.”

Social media went into meltdown over the incident.

Here we go again...



It doesn't matter if it's intentional or not.



It's reckless and careless.



It's a sin-bin at the very least.#NRLRoostersBroncos — Jason Oliver (@JasonNRL) August 25, 2018

That's a send off. Napa, again, showing no concern for his fellow professional. Can't have that in the game. And this view isn't based on the injury outcome. #NRLRoostersBroncos — Hamish Neal (@hamishneal) August 25, 2018

It’s a flying fucking headbutt @PhilGould15 that just broke a mans jaw. Arms arrived a minute later. You’ve just spent 10 minutes defending it as a “technique issue” and worrying about Napa. #NRLRoostersBroncos — Sean Doherty (@seano888) August 25, 2018

Eventually Dylan Napa will drive some poor bloke’s jaw into his brain and everyone will be like ‘Gee why didn’t they do something about his tackling style?’’



PS. Is two in a season still considered an accident?#NRLRoostersBroncos — Seano [-0-] (@SeanBradbery) August 25, 2018
