The calls on sin bin will be the biggest controversy on the set restart rule.
How was that 10 but Rapana only set restart last night?

lolkay, of course mate, no responsibility whatsoever on the taller player who attempts to step at the very last moment and drops his entire body a foot and headbutts the defender's shoulder.
Yep totally makes sense that Frizell had not moved at all into a tackling position and was totally upright with the attcker right next to him. Anyway it wasn't a major thing either way, noone is saying Frizell maimed him, he was just a bit lazy. Time to move on.

I don't think Rapana's could be called a professional foul, he was trying to push the panther player over the sideline but tried too hard.

After watching Fifita humiliate Frizzell I think Freddy has to play Cam Murray on the right edge because no one humiliates that guy in defence.

you can’t just run head first into the defender and receive a penalty.

The obstruction rule is just a complete joke at this point if the brainlet in the bunker thinks that Newcastle try was fair. Kelly is clearly watching the guy with the ball while holding his position in the line. By the time he turns his attention to the decoy runner his feet are planted and he is then run into and obstructed. That should have been no try.

I thought it was a pretty obvious misread tbh. He even half attempted a tackle before he realised the ball had gone out the back. Plus he was actually outside the decoy runner and came in voluntarily...

We used to get obstruction referrals every game but now it’s few and far between. There has been a few missed for sure, Kelly was impeded, his line of sight never changes from the winger and he gets there 1-2m too late. Clear obstruction but what do the fans know about the rules?!?
