Perenara blew half time before the siren simply to avoid another play. Should have been a Raiders penalty at the end. Cost us 2 points.

How crucial will that be?

Penrith should be way ahead with all the field position they've had.
Canberra hold the ball and concentrate in the second half, they'll win

This is such a bullshit rule. the guy hit Tarps in the head. surely he should be able to defend himself. How can anyone think that he shouldnt ?

Apparently you're meant to just stand there and get punched in the face

Was a massive dog act by the Penrith forward, whoever it was

Lol Raiders fans. Tapine deserved the bin, as did CHN. Probably lucky they didn't lose Priest as well, looked like had a fair shot at Mansour with a slap or a cat punch.

The rule might be a bit soft but it is what it is.

based on the ludicrous ruck interpretation applied by the referee in the first 20 minutes
Tapine should have got a penalty any way

if he had
we have 13 on 13 to start the 2nd half

What is so hard to understand? He can defend himself all he wants. Doesn't mean he gets to stay on the field.

My issue is that if Tapine doesn't retaliate, then CHN doesn't get sent off. Perfectly summarises the reactionary refereeing of the modern game.

Dont want to comment on anything specifically... but f**k me this game feels like it is at a frantic pace.

Rapana is a god... take him out and Raiders wouldn't be in this game. He's the best ball runner in the game right now. Its like the Rugby League games when you max a players stats

He can. Doesn't mean he doesn't rightfully get punished for retaliating.

The thing is that Tapine has no idea if the guy is going to go on with it or not. Who the heck just stands there and gets punched in the face ????

It is a nonsensical rule and should be down to refs discretion

The bullshit thing is, if tarps doesn't retaliate, play goes on and the little bitch Panther gets to stay on.
