Cowboys star Kyle Feldt may be set for a stint on the sidelines after he was placed on report for a crunching tackle on Dragons star Jack Bird.<\/p>\n

Shortly before half-time in the Dragons' 25-18 win over the Cowboys<\/a>, Feldt lined up Bird one-on-one and folded him with a sensational hit.<\/p>\n

That had the crowd At Country Bank Stadium in raptures as both sides fired up in the aftermath of the challenge.<\/p>\n

But much to the dismay of the Queenslanders, Feldt was placed on report for a dangerous throw and will await the verdict of the MRC.<\/p>\n

\"Feldt<\/p>\n

"It was a terrific tackle, and in a millisecond it just goes fractionally wrong," Michael Ennis said on Fox Sports.<\/p>\n

"The collision was great. At full speed it was just a good technical driving tackle, but it just went above the horizontal and Jack Bird's head hit the ground.<\/p>\n

"He probably is in a bit of strife but I don't think there is any intent deliberately."<\/p>\n

Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga conceded he was a fan of the "old-school" his from Feldt, but conceded it was unacceptable in the modern game.<\/p>\n

\"NRL<\/p>\n

"I'm old school and it was a really good front on tackle in the old days, but not today unfortunately," Meninga said.<\/p>\n

"He is in trouble and he is going to get suspended for some matches, but lets minimise it.<\/p>\n

"I mean Jack Bird wasn't hurt. He just jumped back up again. He will be in a bit of trouble, but hopefully it is minimal."<\/p>\n

Feldt also lined up Bird for a second big-hit in the dying moments of the match that was above board.<\/p>\n
