Accidentally brushing a referee.Such a heinous crime. We' re lucky he didn't get 10 weeks or even charged with assault but serial tripping, thats ok!

What about the pics on rugby league News Twitter with Thurston and Smith man handling the ref. Funny how they don't get charged.

When push comes to shove, there's no consistency
The folly of Tyson Frizell's suspension for touching a referee was swamped by Jarryd Hayne mania. Watching the incident closely you see that Frizell is touched by the referee first, and then Frizell clearly touches the referee.

A sharp viewer of the game made us aware of an incident involving Bulldogs skipper James Graham in the same match. Graham is in close proximity to referee Chris James and then is pushed by the referee. It appears they make contact again after that.

I'm not suggesting it is Graham's fault, by any stretch, but the incident worried Graham enough for him to approach the referee.

"I bumped into you ...," Graham said. "I didn't know you were there."

James replied: "I didn't hurt you, did I?"

Graham: "No. As long as we are on the same page."

James: "We are sweet mate."

As a result, Graham took his place in the Bulldogs side that played Newcastle on Saturday.
