100%. You can’t try & put a hit on, get your technique completely wrong, knock a bloke senseless & you’re excuse is ‘he stepped’. Right decision imo.

Too many tough guys around here.
I’d agree with you if we were taking about shoulder contact. I actually blew up live at Napa for giving away a penalty for what I thought was a shoulder charge. There was nothing wrong with it at all. Not even a penalty. Joke. You would have to be a deadset maniac to even think about flying in with the head like that intentionally. It’s almost suicidal. I’m not blaming the loss on the refs. We cost ourselves more but that is a deadset rort of a call.

2002 grand final. Are you one of the many Roosters fans crying blue murder thinking Villasanti head butted Fitler, or did you think it was just an accidental head clash?

Or option C, are you too young to know what I’m talking about?

There may be differing opinions on whether the Napa one was a penalty or not but the point is the sin bin. It is an inconsistent call as refs never send players to the bin for a high shot.... or even a shoulder charge, which this one certainly wasn't.

100% of all high tackles are accidental. 100% of them are blown as penalties.

Napa launched himself headfirst and all but knocked Sims's head off. It doesn't matter that Sims changed direction, just like it doesn't matter if the ball carrier slips and gets hit in the head by the tackler's shoulder.

Penalty probably sufficient though, I'll give youse that

it's Dylan Napa for f**ks sake...he went in for the big shot,f**ked it up and made contact with the head so it's a penalty and goes on report...it's a tackle gone wrong...Sutton's just guessing as to what his intent was....it is not and never has been a sinbinning...it's a f**king collision sport,if you're offended by the contact go and watch soccer...
if this is how it's going to be why is Nikorima not on report for kicking the ball into Matterson's head?
how does Sutton know that that wasn't intentional?
Sutton is just a f**kin merkin.

Villasanti on Fittler was accidental, but Koopu somehow got away with a shoulder to the head on the same play that actually concussed Fittler

We were crying blue murder thinking he headbutted Fittler, but guess what sweetheart, there was no penalty, it was play on, just like every other f**king headclash call ever before tonight.

You know what? You can also go for 10.

Hahaha. Not even a penalty hey Robbo? f**k me, that’s ridiculous. Apparently Sims made contact with Napa’s head, not the other way around.

Robinson is off his f**king head.
