2017 R23 Sat - Storm 16-13 Roosters @ AAMI

[Danish]

You can tackle attacking players in the air.

You still can't put them past the horizontal, which he clearly did landing on his shoulder/neck

 

[Tommy Smith]

No luck with injuries.

Got a drop out at least.

 

[mxlegend99]

Taken out in mid air and Ferguson injured. No penalty.

Sadly the stupid rules only protect defensive players in the air. Not attacking players.

Refs got one right... the rules wrong.

 

[skeepe]

What are your thoughts on the refereeing performance so far in this game?

The Storm seem to be getting the rub of the green somewhat.

 

[JJ]

You can tackle attacking players in the air.

That rule makes absolutely no sense, but not unique

 

[butchmcdick]

Fergo the ultimate showman

 

[This Year?]

Roosters player put into dangerous position and gets injured.

No penalty.

 

[hineyrulz]

Dugan carrying the Breezers the next few weeks by the Looks.

Correct dangerous play. As much a oenalty try as the last one Melb got.

 

[Headless Chook]

Fergs, the new and improved Matai.

 

[Pedge1971]

Dugan carrying the Breezers the next few weeks by the Looks.

Nah Fergo was just doing a Duges.

They can't, and shouldn't, change that rule though. If they did, what's stopping an attacking player just leaping into the defensive line to get a penalty?

 

[sharkie23]

Get Ferguson a breezer

 

[Unscrupulous]

You can tackle attacking players in the air.

You can't put them into a dangerous position. It's a penalty.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Someone shut smith up

 

[hineyrulz]

Try assist to Myth Piss. What a player.

 

[no name]

Hahahaha, they are absolutely shocked that they got a (correct) call against them.

 

[Danish]

Sutton got too excited in seeing billy in the clear and didn't see the obvious obstruction

 

[Spanner in the works]

Sadly the stupid rules only protect defensive players in the air. Not attacking players.

Refs got one right... the rules wrong.

It's a ridiculous rule. When someone becomes a paraplegic, do we just shrug our shoulders and go 'Who cares'?

 

[Danny-Boy]

How the f**k is that an obstruction after a knock on???? f**k the NRL is rigged. Storm ripped off.
