So, 2 deliberate knees to the head is worth 2 weeks less than an accidental "hip drop" from a stunned player.

Makes sense.
The second knee didn't look deliberate to me. Only on the slow-mo. Real speed it certainly wasn't calculated.

It doesn't really matter though, the first one should be enough for a longer ban than 2 weeks.

I think Curran sin bin was ok. Wouldn't have argued against a send off though, 50/50. Sitili should have been sent off for either of his but, and how Burton didn't get binned blows my mind.

Refs have gotta be accountable

Guaranteed some no-name plodder off the bench in today's games will sit down for a lot less than that Burton shot.

The inconsistency is wild.

The over correction will be epic. I can see a send off for a waist high face slap at some point over the weekend. Glad my bunch of complete deadshits have the bye

Can't blame Sutton too much for these - refs get one look and are not allowed to make/change a decision based on the replay on the big screen.
Gee in the Bunker on the other hand...
The video ref gets countless angles, slow motion and freeze frame, and as long as they want to make a decision. Gee royally f*cked it last night. No excuses.

Given the incompetency of the current officials I wouldn't put it past them to get the wrong player and suspend M Moses anyway.

Don't worry, Gee will find a send off tonight, Arrow and Keppie prime candidates

So the MRP clearly just tried to find whatever offence latrell hadn’t been charged with last year in order to save him any of the “similar offence” loading, right?

Either it was a shoulder charger or a high tackle. Dangerous contact I thought was historically for offensive players raising knees and forearms.

Had grade 2/3 careless written all over it

1 match is about right. It wasn't high so they couldn't charge him with that, and he kinda wrapped his arm.

Looked more awkward than it was.

Ginnane and Cronk carried on like it was premeditated murder.

Anyway sadly we play better as a team without him in 2025 so whatevs.

Latrell 1 week seems right to me, went for a big hit but player fell leading to high contact. No so confident that a no name wouldn’t get 6 weeks for a similar incident though
