which makes 100 milliseconds 0.1 of a second does it not? then you can calculate from there... But again, your talking about giving some-one specifically trained in improving their reaction time 4 tenths of a second to swing a bat vs giving a primarily strength-and/or-ball-skills-trained rugby league player running at pace 3 tenths of a seconds to evaporate his hulking frame into thin air.

and just to cite the source on the reaction time things: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4456887/

unpopular opinion: there was nothing wrong with the shot, he's being taken to task because it looked ugly, as it would when a paperweight runs the ball at the line trying to interest the attention of a brick shit-house and then turns his back on him, the time of contact from pass to hit was the same time or earlier than the shot he put on McGuire week 2 and that was no penalty and put on that weekends highlight reels.

So if you've made vids and edited .gifs you'll know you can view each frame of the video down to the .1 of a second. So using both videos from both threads, assuming they are at game speed which they appear to be and pulling them "apart" going on the moment the ball leaves the attacking players hands to when the defender makes contact.... SHOCKINGLY... They are exactly the same .4 of a second from when McGuire taps it on to when he gets hit, .4 of a second from when Cronk releases the ball to when he gets hit. One hit didn't warrant a penalty let alone a mention at the judiciary, one hit was a penalty with people calling for a sin bin and now a potential 3 week ban.

Am I saying there's some bias between the two players apparent safety, the sub, the judiciary, the commentary, the refs..... Fuckin nahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Not fine but also not a cheap shot - just mistiming of pressure on protected species.

Unsurprising though for you to lap up what your idol spouts without any logical thought process.

AFL players cop 100 of these per game and you don't hear half the sooking of the NRL commentators.

if the cheap shot shit is about getting Cronk in the back, well then the halves have a license to run backwards and receive penalties, because Pangai didn't just come out of no-where and blind-side him, Cronk ran the ball at the line that Pangai was in, then forgot one of the basic rules taught in juniors (ie. don't turn your back on the defense) and got whacked for his mistake.

every game without fail, a sims will drop the ball steaming onto it close to the line. If they catch they score, but they dont catch.

Without fail.
