2025 Match Review & Judiciary charges

[Warrimoo3]

Can I suggest we go further and have a 1970s round? Cotton jumpers, chunky shoulder pads, magic sponge and blood. Lots of delicious blood.

Plus steroids and HGH.

And play all games at Lidcombe Oval and call it Nostalgia Round.

Corrupt

This has been such an unexpectedly happy week for me!

 

[soc123_au]

Sipley with 4 weeks shows us the judiciary has no ideas what a hip drop is either.

 

[Warrimoo3]

How about the referees spend less time memorising players’ names and more time re-acquainting themselves with the rules of the game. The whole idea of calling players by their names is ridiculous. They must spend an inordinate amount of time matching pictures of lower profile players with their names, not to mention memorising ways different teams try to “cheat”.
Of course they’re going to treat players like Cameron Smith differently from Joe Bloggs. Get back to calling players by their numbers .
And why do some touch judges look 50 years old plus ? Vision deteriorates over time. You don’t see any line judges at Wimbledon anywhere near that age.

 

[Apey]

More players should challenge nonsense charges/gradings at the judiciary. But it's pretty stacked against them to do so.

Problem is they get penalised when the powers that be double down on the stupid decision that saw the charges raised to start with.

I mean f**k Manly, but Sipley even being charged was a joke. Mitch Kenny should have fought his, but it just would have ended with an additional week on the sidelines because Sobbo had a sook.

Yeah, that's what I meant. That and the change brought in a few years ago about not being able to use similar incidents that weren't charged at all in your defence, basically a 'don't use our incompetence against us' rule. It's rigged against players defending themselves, they don't want players to do it, but it's always good when one does and is successful.

Couldn't agree more. Happy birthday btw.

What do you need to do to get sent off in a game?

[SLRBRONCOS]

Dogs of war honey

 

[mave]

So, 2 deliberate knees to the head is worth 2 weeks less than an accidental "hip drop" from a stunned player.

Makes sense.

 

[Anon]

Surely Sutton and or the video ref have to be dropped for not sending off Tupouniua and Curran. If it had been one of the non favoured teams making these tackles you can bet your life they would have been send offs.

 

[Black Panther]

Canterbury has always been a grubby club.

 

[Warrimoo3]

It was pure luck that Piakura didn’t end up with a depressed skull fracture . Judiciary should have thrown the book at Tupouniua. As reckless as it gets.

 

[Warrimoo3]

Canterbury has always been a grubby club.

Probably got into trouble after the match for not wearing fibreglass knee guards.

 

[Diesel]

Knee to the head should be more. The dogs were angry last night. Whoever gets them in the next 2-3 weeks are lucky

 

[MRN]

Should be 5-6 weeks just for the knees.

 

[Bazal]

I think Curran sin bin was ok. Wouldn't have argued against a send off though, 50/50. Sitili should have been sent off for either of his but, and how Burton didn't get binned blows my mind.

Refs have gotta be accountable
