Cowboys v Roosters

[eastsrule]

Minichello, Crocker, Ricketson should all be suspended.

This isn't union, dipstick.

I know. I've woken up now.

. Minichello tackles a Cowboy without the ball from the kickoff

Couldn't have been a penalty. There was a double-knock on. The only way to get a penalty after that is for a piece of foul play or referee abuse. The rules don't allow for a penalty in that instance.

He should have called time off when the cowboys were set up for the scrum in the last few seconds

The scrum wasn't set. There were only 5 players in the scrum. The 6th got in just at the 80th minute when the siren went

You're ignoring the point that it should have been a penalty for offside. I have no idea how Simpkins could've missed that

Really Sucks. The two darlings of the NRL referees association in the GF :roll:

 

[CycloneSteve]

No Razor any penalty overides a double knock on. Its a major breach over a minor breach. Should have been penalty Cowboys.

Isn't tackling a player without the ball a piece of Foul Play, Razor?

No it's just an infringment. Foul play is punching, kicking, elbowing a player. If the Cowboys player picked up the ball it still would have been a scrum, as it was a double-knock on, not just a Roosters knock-on. So taking out the Cowboy gave the Roosters no advantage, so it's first infringment first. The rules are clear on the subject.

BOYCOTT!

Dont buy a the Telegraph, dont watch the footy show, and most of all come Sunday night, switch on a movie, go out for dinner, do something other than watch the 2004 GF

Rubbish. The cowboys didnt even touch the ball until after Minichello had taken his head nearly off before the ball got there.

Minicheillo knocked on, walker then touched it he was offside should have been a penalty not a scrum, just another Simpkins mistake.

I suggest you watch it again. The referee called double-knock on before MiniC tackled the Cowboy. The Cowboy touched the ball before that.

Minichello clearly attacked the players head with no intent on going for the ball. That is foul play.

 

[parra-matters]

every tackle that Morley made bar one was around the head he is a pommie thug!

I doubt it!! :lol:

 

[CycloneSteve]

Who cares about the foul play. It should have been a penalty to the cowboys after Mini lost it forward and a player from his own team who was in front, picked it up.
