2016 Match Review Committee / Judiciary

[POPEYE]

Roberts should be put on damage watch this weekend

If only the NRL was this judicious in policing the ruck. I would have said the shoulder charge but.....you know.

Maybe but kicking has always been illegal and used to be an automatic send off so he was lucky there.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Kicking isn't even the worst foul play currently becoming a regularity in the NRL. How many cases of tripping have we seen go completely unacknowledged this year? Josh Reynolds probably had something like 3 instances on his own. I know the NRL enjoys digging their own grave, but this will be the next media crusade as soon as someone gets their leg broken and probably loses their career.

How is tripping worse then kicking

Seriously?

A good successful trip can cause compound fractures in the leg. That isn't a few stitches or a bruised ego, that is someone's career, and likely a lifetime of pain.

Seriously? Wow, I can't imagine a kick doing anything like that!

Do me a favour and watch a bit of mma or kickboxing then come back and tell me trips are worse then kicks

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Trips are worse than kicks because a Bronco kicked someone.

What were your thoughts on kasianos kick ?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Don't worry IBM. I'm sure jimmy Jujitsu will add tripping to his grub repiotre soon enough.

Kasiano thought he had a tick on his balls and tried to shake it off

 

[butchmcdick]

It's just so unfair

Typical sad f**ks showing their hate tonight. He should be done for the year. Disgraceful.

Dont worry I found them


Yes I agree , kicking should be out for the year.

problem is in footy the bloke getting tripped is travelling flat out and generally is caught unawares whereas in mma / jui jitsu its a combat situation with both combatants battling for supremacy with negligible momentum then a case of force over leverage to effect the trip or throw.
Don't get me wrong bones can still get broke, ligaments tweaked etc.
Doesn't take much particularly if you land wrong , get the limb / body part over torqued etc
But by the same token kicks, elbows and even punches for that matter can be devastating if and when the timing / Target area / volume is right.

 

[lockyno1]

Meh it actually improves our defence anyway! We might actually have a centre that makes a tackle.

Was worth a punt tonight though

 

[gcboyz]

Oh well if the Donkeys give him the sack he could always get that job at Arnotts using his face as the stamp for Ugly Biscuits.

An oldie but a goodie.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

well sanity prevails, ill be buggered

I read on another forum a broncos fan calling for another superleague as this decision proves the Broncos can't ever get a fair go from the NRL

Ben Hunt couldn't drop a bomb better than that
