Missed yesterdays game so just watching the replay now .. North have a size advantage and were understandably trying to exploit that, just not sure if they went about it the right way. As for Andersons tackle on Allan it was dangerous and he'll get games, especially as it's ended Allan's season, but a lot of sling tackles (imho) aren't intentional. All players are instructed to drive their opponent into the turf when tackling, and when the tackler isn't watching his opponent he can't always know how he's going to land.
Fair points JK
One thing about sling tackles
Its easier to sling Jimmy Allan than say Juice Newton or Liam Davis
Therefore smaller players tend to get slung more than bigger players
There's sort of a fine line between executing tackles and slinging on some occasions
