First Angus Crichton the other week, now Koloamatangi. Absolute rubbish charges for nothing incidents and only serves to encourage players to game more penalties. MRC has lost the plot.

I see now that you can’t tackle Paps above the waist as it will be a high shot. “I know I’m a target” puts the pressure on the refs to protect him.

Scott Sorensen's 7 years incident free saved him $375. CHN's 7 years incident free saved him a week's suspension plus 50 carryover points, because his offence was greater. Sounds fair, not.

Seven years incident free should completely wipe out a grade 1 fine, IMHO.

It should bring you down a grading - 1 to 0, 3 to 2, etc

It's not their fault. They work to guidelines. It's the ridiculous base points of the most innocuous of crusher tackles.

I'd like them to explain exactly what Keaon did wrong and how he could have avoided it.
They cant for a lot of the "crushers" I get the thought process behind coming down hard on it, but the implementation is pretty bad. I think ones like last night shouldn't bring a suspension. Especially with loadings that could have been earned from similar innocuous incidents.

I agree. For me, the crusher law is there to stop the @ssholes that wrestle their fellow players into a vulnerable position and then come down heavy on the neck. That did not happen last night.

Last nights was just two players tangling for position; both Naden and Koala were as much to blame for the final position Naden found himself in. Penalty sufficient.
