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.

So after 11 rounds of footy, with no similar ruling

"Nobody should be surprised"

Sounds logical

If Napa didn’t REPEATEDLY do this last week, and actually hit blokes in the head with his shoulder and arms...

and then repeatedly cheap shot blokes off the ball after the siren...

and then not miss a minute of football despite being charged, until a crucial moment of a game against the Broncos...

then maybe this would be a legit call

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)

Sorry to ruin your childhood, but WWE is not real.

Your analogy is shit.

Don't play the consistency card, it should ALWAYS be ruled as such, you can't fly in like that and knock a bloke senseless and expect nothing to come of it, absolutely ridiculous the agenda you're trying to push
