I didn’t see much wrong with that collision and in fact agreed that Patchell showed terrible tackle technique

I know there is a lot on moaning about this incident, but, it isn't really the reason that they lost the game.
A more significant reason is they they were playing utter dross for the last few minutes of the first half and shipped 10 points.

As a neutral though - I thought that it was cracking match to watch.

Its almost as if the Aussies are way behind us in this "leading with a forearm to the upper body/throat/head when carrying the ball is dangerous" thing. Or could they just be playing dumb??

No, they have a strong cause for complaint. A ball carrier should not be penalised for having the ball clutched to his chest and pushing off an upright opponent after that upright opponent has run into him.

All the previous penalties and cards we've seen for this involve a forearm/elbow being held away from the body or a strike, not a push that ends up briefly at the throat because the tackler's a muppet.

Put the ball in one hand and hand off with the other?

Hand-offs work great for people beside/behind you. They're much harder and much less useful for people you're running directly into. May as well just protect the ball.

I still think that a penalty was a fair call.  Striking a player in the throat is clumsy and we need to protect the players.

He didn't strike him.

Oh ok. See what you mean. Have the ball tucked into your chest with one arm but you are not allowed to use the other arm to forearm smash the tackler. But are you still allowed to forearm smash your opponent with the arm holding the ball?

That is correct deadly, just like putting your shoulder down when on the charge with the ball and going into contact. I believe a hand off has to be with an open palm.
