Wests Tigers<\/a> co-captain James Tamou<\/a> and star Roosters<\/a> prop Lindsay Collins are sweating on bans on the cusp of the NRL<\/a> season after making tackles slammed as "awful", "dangerous" and "ugly".<\/p>\n

Former NSW Blues<\/a> front-rower Tamou was placed on report when he took out the legs of young halfback Sam Walker<\/a> in erratic fashion early in the Tigers-Roosters trial<\/a>, leading to the prodigy crashing into the Leichardt Oval turf head first.<\/p>\n

Collins was then reported during the second half of the Roosters' 16-8 defeat when he performed a cannonball tackle on Tigers five-eighth Jackson Hastings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both Walker and Hastings happened to avoid injury, unlike young Eels winger Haze Dunster whose season was needed by a Tyrell Fuimaono hip-drop tackle last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Collins<\/p>\n

Former NRL journeyman Michael Ennis<\/a> roasted Tamou's tackle.<\/p>\n

"That's dangerous, that's really dangerous," Ennis said on the Fox League broadcast.<\/p>\n

"That is awful from James Tamou … How's that not a sin-bin? It's dangerous contact, could have broken his leg, he lands on his neck.<\/p>\n

"I don't know how he stays on the field."<\/p>\n

Walker was later ruled out following a failed head injury assessment after copping a knee from Kelma Tuilagi while making a tackle.<\/p>\n

Ennis was just as scathing in his assessment of the Collins tackle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"That's awful. These are the ones where the player can't do anything," Ennis said on commentary.<\/p>\n

"The two players holding him up and he just comes in from behind. [Hastings] can't brace himself, it's dangerous.<\/p>\n

"If Jackson Hastings does his knee there – he's in trouble, Collins."<\/p>\n

"He comes in like a missile, Collins, at the legs. It's ugly, it's really, really ugly."<\/p>\n
