Raiders forward Josh Papalii has backed the NRL to continue to protect player safety amid a recent increase in hip-drop tackles.
Dangerous techniques are back in the spotlight after Gold Coast Titan Aaron Booth avoided sanction for a cannonball tackle on Raiders star Joe Tapine last Saturday.
The NRL did come down hard on Patrick Carrigan, the Brisbane forward suspended for four weeks for a hip-drop tackle that left Jackson Hastings with a broken fibula.
