Can’t wait to see what they do with Olam

Almost an old fashioned spear tackle and barely got on report

I wonder if the match officials might be in trouble for not taking harder action or is it just that you have to stay down to get a player sent to the bin
Referees have been cracking down on any contact to the ball carriers head from a defenders arm.

In the Olam tackle, the first thing to come into contact with the ball carriers head was the turf.

No the last 2 games of NRL, no sin bins.
Too much media hype about 13 v 12 or 11 etc
Those silly refs and bunker were all ruining the spectacle
The crackdown is over. Dragons have been punished. Back to normal until 7.50pm tomorrow night.
The bunker bus will be out in force

The ref and guy in the bunker for our game against the Tigers are rubbing their hands and can't wait to give us a hard time. They will say that there were no sin bins in previous games because there weren't any needed as there were no breaking of the rules. We do similar things in our game which the previous games players did and whammo - sin bin, sin bin, on report, on report. Dragons who?

What are you worried about Joey L is more likely to neck somebody than anyone else on both sides

Fox didn’t miss it either with Vossy saying he’s kneed him in the head & replaying it several times.

OMG, tackling a player falling is so problematic. Josh Morris about to score and Starling reaches out to tackle him to stop him scoring and his upper arm brushes Morris' head just before Morris loses the ball over the line and a penalty results. Just so hard now to make an effective tackle without giving away a penalty.
