I think it's to do with the fact that Norman gained no advantage from the player he would have run behind, hence no penalty.

But he only didn't gain advantage by committing a voluntary tackle, and those are illegal. Should be a penalty either way.

Not saying its a particular rort in this game because try always judge it like that, I just don't see why they do. Its like allowing forward passes providing the receiver just falls to the ground after catching it.

So 1 penalty received in the half.

And no ruck infringements or offsides.

That's about standard for us!

They just had the rematch between fletcher and hindmarsh... Dressed as power rangers.

A dwarf dressed as Tyrion lannister tried to take fletcher down at halfway, then a pink power ranger came out of nowhere and tackled Hindy 10m from the finish :lol:

Players lay down and take tackles all the time, just watch any run from the winning team in a close game with a minute or two left. When was the last time a voluntary tackle was actually penalised?

Teams just automatically become super disciplined when they play the Roosters for some reason before they go back to giving away their normal amount of penalties the next week.

Is Isaac Luke playing in this game?

Correction- I just realised he said Isaac Liu. I thought he'd had a shocker
