Abdo is on 360 right now more or less walking back a lot of the shit we saw this past weekend. The bunker interfering 3 or 4 tackles down the track in particular seems to be in the crosshairs.

See this is the one rule that makes sense.

Several times we've seen a player taken off for a HIA, and the offending team suffer no punishment.

Any incident of foul play that leads to a HIA should result in a sin bin, in my opinion.

I’ve said it many times, my view is that the bunker should be there to stop howlers only, and on that basis, there should be a limit to how many replays they can look at, and I also believe they should not be allowed to use slow-motion or super zoom.
Something like a maximum of 5 replays at normal speed and zoom, and if they can’t see an obvious error, then it goes with the refs decision.
That’s how it should be for tries and captains challenge, and then in terms of serious foul play, they can only go back for stuff the ref missed if there’s a resulting injury/HIA and the same limited replay/zoom rules apply.
The NRL should then get agreement with the broadcasters that they will not show slowmo/super zoom replays to undermine the refs (as that has a negative impact on the game and therefore their product). Get everyone accepting the fact that the game is played at a fast pace and therefore shouldn’t be reffed in slow-mo or super zoom.
i think that really tidies up the game - stops the ridiculously long reviews (like the Canberra one), and stops the media obsession over marginal 50/50 decisions - if it ain’t obvious, it’s play on, and nobody will ever scrutinise it.

But it was an accident.

Phil Gould actually said there was no other way he could have made a tackle without injuring himself. That guy.

Imagine a dogs player crying about the recent crackdown on high shots.

They all got off lightly as far as I'm concerned. They were head hunting all night.
