Bunker bullshit, blunders and balls ups

Seen it, I get it that they protect the head and that's close, but he doesn't hit him in the head.

Another one like the Roger sin bin - it was potentially dangerous, but not actually dangerous.

i wonder if the neck is now considered part of the head. I guess the crowd reaction plus the fact the tackler started at a lower position and rose up in the tackle didnt help




this angle looks like the neck isnt even touched. Penalty for mind at worse but not a bin. /agree.
Having said that is there enough of a wrapping action? looks suspiciously shoulderchargey.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Yeah, they are told that making an upward motion in the tackle can be dangerous. And the neck should be protected. All things told, it's probably a penalty, is what I think I'm getting at. I don't think it's quite legal, but nor is it 10 minutes-worthy. I dunno.

His head or neck isn’t touched, the kid took a big shot across the shoulder, if there was any contact with the neck or head, he would have showed some pain and grabbed it, he just bounced off the contact and got straight up to play it

It’s a sad state of affairs when we are discussing that a tackle can be a penalty because of upward motion

Regardless of all that anyway, Klein came back down to the ref with “direct contact with the head with moderate force”, that didn’t occur, and if it did, should have been a send off and the little fella wouldn’t get up

Absolute classic bullshit call ending RTS’s season tonight. Clear shoulder to the head with no arms involved resulting in a cat 1 HIA but no sin bin, and therefore no 18th man meaning we lose a player for the remainder of the game and the dogs don’t lose anything. Absolute joke of a call.

It’s time for just 1 person to be in the bunker, maybe extend it to 2, but surely at least it cuts out the consistency

I’d presumed the 18th man was activated though when I saw CHT on the park ?

CHT was wearing the 18 jersey but Tom Ale was the 18th man as per the NRL team sheets , he didn’t play

Cheers, I’m completely avoided the pre match because it is a tough watch so missed that. Absolutely bizarre bench by Webster then to have Lussick and CHT on the pine both playing limited minutes, tough on the middles who got pulled apart under fatigue

Yeah well we know Webby’s bench use can be a bit baffling. Though in this case I get that he probably feels we need cover for Egan, as well as cover for the backs.

Barnett shoulder charge direct to head, cut by eye bleeding. Penalty given. So poor.
