2024 R22 Thu - Wests Tigers 30-48 North Qld @ Leichhardt

[Danish]

Apparently a direct forceful head shot worthy of a send off is not worthy of an HIA

 

[Exsilium]

Send off is a bit harsh. I get the forceful aspect but he wrapped the arm and it occurs in a split second. Short centre on tall back rower is a mitigating factor, surely.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Tigers aren’t winning with 12

You could argue that as a team, they’re smarter

 

[Kilkenny]

Just not even a sin bin, never mind a send off.

just ridiculous. It really is. So sad our officials are so bad.

 

[Wb1234]

Zzzzzz boring

 

[OzDragon]

oh the hot girl had a resting bitchface in that shot

I can fix her

 

[yobbo84]

There is no shot that was a send off. We will see 5 worse tackles this weekend.

refs just love beating up on the tigers

I initially thought it was shoulder to the chest and arm wrapped around and got him high... but replay showed it was shoulder flush to the chin

 

[simmo1]

You reckon they send a Panthers or Storm player off for that tackle?

Nope. See Taylan May on Walsh earlier this year.

 

[Wests is Best]

At least we gonna get through this game without a sin bin

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Olam did that exact tackle once or twice with the Storm and didn’t even get penalised. Like it’s definitely a send off, no question. But it’s funny he only gets picked up on it when he leaves a glamour club.

I'm shocked. Shocked.

 

[Bazal]

The problem is they're smarter without Olam, but also 100% less effort.

 

[Diesel]

I’m out, the bunker/refs have ruined this.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

I can fix her

Calm down Jenko

 

[skeepe]

Finally, first tick.

I just saw that reverse angle. A sin bin is enough.

 

[Danish]

yes which makes it a penalty or if you are being harsh a sin bin.

a send off is insane. The bloke didn’t even get removed for an HIA and they are gonna claim it was a forceful shot?

 

[MRN]

oh the hot girl had a resting bitchface in that shot

I can work with it

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

i didnt think u could stop play like that and compalin that long to the ref cowboys were ready to hold up play until they got there pen

 

[This Year?]

Joel Caine said Overs and Deardon to get a try.
I should start copying his bets and call him Bedsy.

Yeah the carry on gets a bit much when it's a shot like that. I could accept it as borderline sin bin/send off. But it's not a conspiracy or some school of hard knocks BS when a bloke nails a dude straight in the chin with his shoulder.

Especially a bloke with form. Whether that should count or not is probs valid discussion, but it does.
