2 weeks for tripping over someone because they feigned an injury?

It was amazing how Garrick made a miraculous recovery from a broken back to kick 2 goals not 30 seconds later.

Diving prick.

The game’s gone soft.

Not sure raiders should complain about other teams taking a dive. Sutton crying out for a crusher and laying down dead after the back of his head slid down AFB’s leg was a good look. He also had a miraculous recovery after time for a video review

Bj had ample time to pull out. Mike wozowski was offside when he took the intercept anyway. You guys are a better team without him atm

Hysterical to watch Annesley trying to justify why the James Roberts hit shouldn't have been a send off. The female reporter going at him like a honey badger saying it was a deliberate act of thuggery at a prone player who couldn't defend himself, and GA saying that the refs have to make an instant decision (they don't, that's what the video ref is for).
I'm losing respect for him quite quickly - he started out reasonably critiquing referee performance, but now it seems he's just defending them regardless.

NRL head of football Graham Annesley would have been “comfortable” if Parramatta forward Nathan Brown and South Sydney centre James Roberts had been sent off for foul play during last weekend’s round of matches.

Brown was sin-binned for a shoulder charge on Canterbury fullback Dallin Watene-Zelezniak in Thursday night’s 12-6 loss at Bankwest Stadium and Roberts suffered the same fate after dropping his elbow on the head of Brisbane winger Corey Oates in Friday night’s 22-20 win at Suncorp Stadium.

With both players now suspended until the opening week of the finals after accepting two match bans for charges imposed by the match review committee, there have been suggestions that Brown and Roberts should have been sent off.

“I would have been comfortable had that taken place,” Annesley said of Brown.


“These things are matters of opinion and officials have to make the decision very quickly based on the information that they have and the assistance they get from the bunker, but I would have been comfortable had that happened.”

Annesley also would have supported the match officials in the Broncos-Rabbitohs game if they had decided to send off Roberts.

“Whilst I can understand that they took the action that they took, the degree of force was unnecessary,” Annesley said.

“They were obviously quite different incidents but I will back the referees for taking action to protect player safety.

“They have to determine what the appropriate level of action is and in both cases they determined that. Were they wrong? No they weren’t, but would they have been wrong if they went harder? They wouldn’t have been wrong either.”

“They have to make the decision, that is the job they have got. I think they have been dealing with that reasonably consistently recently. Clearly, if the player needs to be dismissed he will be dismissed but they have to make that decision, no one can make it for them.”

1 week suspension for JWH for nearly killing a bloke.

1 week suspension for Sam Burgess for a "hair pull".

No charge for elbowing a guy in the throat, or smashing a bloke off the ball.

How good is the NRL?

JWH had a bloke fall into his upper arm ensuing headclash done the damage.

Burgees has 2 high shots a hair pull and also the lifting tackle that went unpunished.

Both have bad records and both will be suspended, though tend to think JWH got lucky.

Surprised no one was charged for the tackle on tupou when he jumped to make a catch and had a player upend him in a very dangerous manner.
