NSW just aren't tough enough. This shit happens all too often.
They bleed for their jumper more than we do . Simple as that.
Suity
Sorry, Suitman but QLD are allowed to be as grubby as they like (not just tonight but in general every series for now 10 years). Some of the shit they have gotten away in tackles for the last 10 years has been disgusting but they are allowed to do it and it's called passion.
NSW occasionally have done it and QLD have cried foul, like big bad NSW are picking on them.
They push the rules to the extreme like the cheats (Storm players) they have playing for them and like the Storm the refs turn a blind eye.
Did Hodges get penalised in game one for the tackle on Farah? Smith was barely above the horizontal and they ensure the cheat gets a penalty!
