What a garbage call for the sin bin. most f**king inconsistent rule in the game.

 

[Sphagnum]

It's correct and we should see more of it.

Lol. Solid bait

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

:lol:

Storm player offside from a quick tap, no penalty. Warriors player gives a penalty away on halfway, instant sin bin.

Sounds about right.

Defense is pathetic enough without having 12 on the field.

 

[vvvrulz]

I'm starting to get over Luke, that was the most half-arsed tackle attempt you'll ever see

On another note good to see Mannering give them a rightful spray, if he's pissed that's saying something

 

[Vic Mackey]

It's correct and we should see more of it.

I don't think many league fans will disagree with it, problem is it'll happen another 50 times this season and it won't go to the bin again.

 

[Meth]

I appreciate that Johnson is trying to calm things down and get through Ayshford's time in the bin but I am not sure kicking for territory is the right play at the moment.

 

[tomdl]

What did Finucane do? I switched on after it happened

 

[vvvrulz]

Was thinking exactly the same, our only hope is he and the gang just going for broke on attack

 

[Sphagnum]

Notice how there has been no replay. It was a shocker. The furthest thing from a professional foul I've seen. Unless he bit him or shoved his finger up his clacker. Maybe that's why they're not showing it...

 

[Jaegerex]

For those complaing about Finucane not getting the bin, I decided to go back and double check. Penalty and tap taken on about the 27m mark, the tackle happened on the 17m mark.
So Luke got his 10m and was fair game, there wasn't much in it though. Hopefully they will replay later as well.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

You have to wonder how much longer McFad burger has

 

[skeepe]

I don't think many league fans will disagree with it, problem is it'll happen another 50 times this season and it won't go to the bin again.

Agreed, and that's why it happens so often - no consequences.

It's an almost certain try if you don't hold down. If you do, sometimes you won't concede a penalty at all, more likely though you'll be penalised but you will give your defensive line time to get set and have a much better chance at stopping the try.

Without the sin bin deterrent, players will hold down every time.

 

[Pete Cash]

Hehe too easy that

 

[Vic Mackey]

This is a proper smashing, raiders might not have the biggest win of the round at this rate.

 

[Meth]

Honestly, as much as the refs are pissing me off right now, we deserve to be 20 down

 

[user_nat]

Thanks for getting the Melbourne attack back into gear NZ. Really needed that..

 

[Red Bear]

Wow, Melbourne again score with a player down in back play.

Probably not a difference maker in the course of the game, sounds like Warriors are just getting hammered, but seems inconsistent with what generally happens.

 

[WithTheDawn]

f**king refs in this game, unbelievable. I get that the warriors are playing shit but the refs are having a dead set shocking.

 

[skeepe]

Notice how there has been no replay. It was a shocker. The furthest thing from a professional foul I've seen. Unless he bit him or shoved his finger up his clacker. Maybe that's why they're not showing it...

There was a replay directly after that clearly showed Ayshford holding down.

No idea what you're on about to be honest.

 

[Sphagnum]

Center off the field, full back down in back play. If Melbourne didn't score then they might as well give it away.
