Am I the only one that’s thinks that Napa’s tackle was illegal sure you lead with your head to make a tackle but he used his head as a weapon he aimed at Simms head and got him good.
Dead set looked like Giraffe fight to the death the way that clown crooned his neck forward hes probably pulled a muscle

I thought he was aiming for contact with his left shoulder but got it wrong and ended up with leading with his head. Players like Napa walk a very fine line attempting plays like that and unfortunately for him he was on the wrong side of it on this occasion.

I’m not sure what everyone’s whinging about. I hate the Broncos but the refs got every call right, albeit I thought they went a bit soft on Napa and he should have been sent. Same effect in the last 10 though.

The sin bin has been available for foul play since the start of the season, so it’s not a complete shock that they used it here.

At the end of the day, the tackler is the one with the duty of care. It’s his responsibility to make sure he doesn’t contact the head. If you fly in like that and make contact with the head, you’re at fault and have to deal with the consequences.

Great game of footy.

How is Sutton still allowed to referee games involving Brisbane, Queensland or Suncorp Stadium? He’s the worst ref in the comp, he makes Perenara look competent.
Early in the week Refs Boss Bernie said 'Gerry what game do you like this week after the tele and Sloshtash 14-0 game spill..........Gerry (Sutton) the cheat " i take Suncorp and the Donkos"

Napa led with the head in a flying headbutt that the WWE would be proud of. Exactly the sort of brain dead grubbiness you would expect from Napa. He's lucky he didn't break Sims jaw (and he may well have yet, we don't know for sure)

I couldn’t imagine anyone intentionally leading with the head with that sort of aggression. He could so easily end up like McKinnon.

To be fair Fatty was a top defender in his day so I think he knows a bit more than this clown. You always lead with your head to tackle. It was accidental. Not even a penalty should have been a knock on

Not even a penalty lol. He smashed him in the jaw.
