Cameron 'but he's a good bloke' Smith

[Patorick]

Ref was lucky not to be sin-binned there.

Next time, Cam.

 

[Vic Mackey]

To be fair, he qa absolutely correct though.

It was one of the worst penalties ive ever seen...that along with the 3 strip calls on George burgess when he clearly lost all of them.

 

[Surrogate]

Smith was correct. They're playing Rugby League, not netball.

 

[Perth Red]

Smith needed to remind the ref what game we are playing, seriously what are they trying to do to our game that used to be proudly claimed the toughest in the world?

 

[Meth]

I'm actually behind Smith on that one. The penalty was so ridiculous that it couldn't go without a spray.

 

[Brutus]

Smith is the king.

Best player in the game by the length George Burgess' s .....

And ruling a line drop out when Burgess lost the ball in the tackle in the second half only to have It over turned on review. Sutton was farcical last night. Diabolical referreing!

 

[LESStar58]

Absolutely disgraceful the way he spoke to the referee tonight, also at a non designated stoppage for captains.

Doesn't seem to stop Jamie Lyon.

While I agree it was a dud decision, just because the ref is wrong doesn't give Smith the right to carry on like he did. What happened to the no talking to refs after a penalty, the ref should have called play on and let Souths run at him while he was offside. His ploy worked in giving his team a breather and getting in the refs head.
Refs absolutely butcher heaps of shit in every game, he should be used to it.
Total lack of respect, and he won't give refs any until they either bin him or allow play to go on while he carries on.

Glad he gave them a spray. The refs have been balls all year, and that really stood out last night. Would be good to see more captains get in their ear when they make howlers.

A Manly fan commenting on players giving the ref a spray?

Go watch soccer if you want to see players badgering refs.
They f**k up all the time, players pestering them won't change the decision.

With reynolds diving last night it almost was soccer

All bets are off when the referees are trying to influence the result.

You can't attack the legs of a bloke kicking the ball, the Melbourne bloke clearly did.

If I was the ref I would have binned smith for carrying on and slowing the game down on purpose to help ur defence as arofessional foul.

Just because it's league doesn't mean illegal shit shouldn't be penalised.

 

[Meth]

By attack, you mean 'failed to disappear into thin air', right?

 

[papabear]

He couldn't have tackled him around the chest but no he just ran at the leg being an illegal thing to do.

This disappearing shit, same with illegal obstruction plays is an argument for idiots who haven't played footy before.

I agree, there was a crackdown to protect kickers a few years ago, now ite claimed to be a tough sport.

They should just use NFL rules, can't touch kicker after ball is kicked, then it comes down to timing.

 

[LESStar58]

Just went and re watched the incident.

Sutton calls time out becasue Reynolds was injured and doesn't call time back on until after Smith approcahes him. Isnt time out for injury designated time to approach along with after a try,:issuing a caution.
