There's no way that 8 point try is called on James Tedesco

 

[Old Mate]

Trell to claim the try assist

 

[Chief_Chujo]

It's the way the rule is written. Don't hit someone in the head.

Would they call the same against Storm or Roosters?

 

[Matiunz]

Think Trell is a grub but I don’t think that was anything other than trying to tap the ball out, he got it wrong so it’s an 8 point try but the tigers guy certainly milked it

 

[simmo1]

Is Benjiball just the politically correct term for jungleball?

Nothing gets called on Tedesco. He's the biggest koala in the game.

I've never understood this argument.

Because they make the wrong call against certain teams/players at certain times, the right call is then wrong?

He's got a lot of stds?

 

[Fangs]

100% 8 point try.

Was he really trying to play at the ball? Perhaps he mistook Makasini's oversized noggin for a Steeden.

Bloke has form. I think its foul play and Latrell has good aim.

 

[yobbo84]

When it’s set for set souths are going nowhere and we’re making meters easy, if we stop inviting them down our end we’ll go along way to winning.

Souths look much better in the 20, we’ve been terrible but Wighton has defended really well in Luai and masi.

We have lost the middle since the opening if you look at it objectively

Your awful handling was the only reason we got down your end early on

Difference is we won't need 6 sets down your end to score

I don't think that sort of momentum swing is easy to come back from though

 

[age.s]

Its hard to fathom the idea of someone greenlighting Maria on an analyst desk.

 

[Sans Souci Saint]

Like I know everyone hates latrell. But you can't be giving 8 point tries for an open hand coming across

Jamie Ainscough just grazed that cat-piss too! I’m with you pal!

 

[Bazal]

He's got a lot of stds?

He definitely has the head of a man you'd expect to have chlamydia

More about selective application of the rules. If what just happened was consistent no one would talk about it. But it's not consistent is it

Looked like his eye was red when they showed him afterwards.
Either way, contact to the head is a no no.

Depends if its consistent with being inconsistent, rightly or wrongly.

Modern day Spud Carroll.

Makasini is built like a brick shithouse.

Look at his face and his reaction. That wasn't his face being grazed. It was a cheap shot.

 

[Marshall_magic]

A case study, compare him to Blocker as he ages. See how impactful these HIA rules are on long term player health and well-being

Look that's a fair argument. I just can't see it as an argument against giving that 8 point try.

Reality is we should see more 8 point tries and they don't call them, that's the problem. Them getting one right isn't wrong because they don't call others should call
