Yeah Dragon Dave poor ole Tyson Frizell
Yes, I know and we all know that after that there was no one else. They set it up for us to fall, then it sets the scene for the other teams to take notice. We are always the test case in nearly every rule that comes into NRL existence.

One day I would like for another team to cop it the way we have first hand when a new rule comes in. I dread the day that a new set of rules will come in and see us get the first cut of the cane and all of the commentators rubbing it in, the b..stards.

TC Robati escapes with a fine​


In just his second appearance in first-grade, Broncos backrower TC Robati was in everything during Thursday night's loss to St George Illawarra.
Robati crossed for his first career try in the 26th minute and made it a double just a few minutes later.

With the Broncos on level terms shortly before half-time, a Jamayne Isaako brain-fade allowed Matt Dufty to score and give the home side the lead.
It was pretty much all down hill from there and Robati's sin-bin shortly after the break didn't help matters.

Dragons forward Poasa Faamausili was unable to continue, failing his HIA, after Robati collected him high in a tackle.
The match review committee has charged Robati with a grade-one careless high tackle, meaning he can escape with a $1,350 fine if he takes an early guilty plea.

What a joke, Shoulder to the head & fine sufficient 😳🤬

Reimis Smith escapes two-match ban​


Reimis Smith has escaped a two-match ban for a high tackle on Titans prop Jaimin Jolliffe.


Smith was slapped with a grade two careless high tackle charge, and has loading from two prior incidents.


The Storm centre was sin-binned after making contact with Jolliffe's head in a 67th minute tackle.


Jolliffe was running the ball back from a goal-line dropout and first made contact with Trent Loiero. Jolliffe ricocheted out of the initial hit and was caught on the back of the head by Smith.


The 23-year-old successfully earned a downgrade at the judiciary on Tuesday night, and will be free to face the Warriors in round 14.


Nelson Asofa-Solomona facing a week on the sidelines​


Storm prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona will be rubbed out for a week after being hit with a grade one contrary conduct charge.


Asofa-Solomona escaped any onfield punishment, but was placed on report after intervention from the bunker.


The Melbourne big man was taken down in a tackle by Joseph Vuna, and planted a knee on the Titans replacement's face when he got up to play the ball.


Asofa-Solomona has two prior offences and will be missing for one week after an unsuccessful challenge at the judiciary.


The 25-year-old was also fined for a fifth minute high shot on debutant Jayden Campbell.


Asofa-Solomona was cited with a grade one careless high tackle and will be fined either $1900 or $2250.


Titans centre Patrick Herbert will also be fined for a grade one dangerous contact charge.


Herbert will be out of pocket either $1150 or $1500 after the first half incident with Kenny Bromwich.

Knights Lachlan Fitzgibbon, Sauaso Sue fined​


Newcastle forwards Lachlan Fitzgibbon and Sauaso Sue have both been handed fines for separate incidents in the loss to Parramatta.


Fitzgibbon can accept a $1150 fine with an early guilty plea for his grade one careless high tackle charge for a hit on Waqa Blake.


Sue can will cop the same punishment if he takes the early guilty plea for a dangerous shot on Reed Mahoney that saw the Knights forward sin-binned.


James Roberts, Dylan Edwards fined for role in Leichhardt melee​


Both James Roberts and Dylan Edwards have been handed fines after their part in a ferocious push and shove in the second half of the Tigers win over the Panthers.


The melee was sparked when Viliame Kikau took out Daine Laurie contesting a high ball, with Roberts running in and shoving Kikau before the all-in erupted.


Neither player was sent from the field for the incident, but have been issued punishments to the back pocket.


With similar past offences, Edwards has copped the heavier punishment, with the Panthers fullback facing a $1700 fine with an early guilty plea.


Roberts meanwhile faces a $1350 fine with an early guilty plea.


Robert Jennings, Moses Mbye escape with fines​


Robert Jennings has been handed a grade one high contact charge that carries a maximum $1800 fine for his hit on Luciano Leilua.


Jennings collected Leilua high trying to stop a second-half try, with the contact knocking the ball from the Tigers backrower's grasp. After review the Tigers were awarded a penalty try for the high shot.


Jennings can escape with a $1350 fine with an early guilty plea, or risks a $1800 fine if he unsuccessfully challenges the charge.


Meanwhile, Mbye faces an $1150 fine for contrary conduct on Stephen Crichton, or risks a $1500 fine if unsuccessful at the judiciary.

Kyle Feldt with a horrible shot on Murray's head tonight. Worse than any hip drop, high tackle or shoulder charge I've seen from any Dragon this year. Stayed on the field. Will be interested in his sentencing.

It'd be nice if rules and justice were applied fairly in this game.

Yep, Right on cue in an origin game the commentators play down or don’t speak about foul play and well the broadcasters choose not to replay some things
Then the sin binathon is over
Then the match review treat anything with minimal sanction. Feldt was real lucky to escape
with just a fine with his late hit to the head on Murray
Of course Munsters kick was nothing. 2nd or 3rd time he us guilty of that. He too is lucky.
No highlighting or talk about Holmes knee to T’oo head after a try

Not that I mind as I enjoy the SOO theatre and a bit of fire but I wish what was adjudicated last night was done at NRL games.

6 agains... thought NSW were dudded in this area as QLD got the rub othe green

NSW 3-0

This has been going on for years. We should really challenge some of the MRC rulings.

If the Feldt one happens in a normal game he would be binned at least, if not sent off.
Poor Rava put his shoulder into the ribs of Morris & got binned.

‘Gutless’ NRL called out as headhigh crackdown goes MIA in Origin opener​

Paul Kent has called the NRL “gutless” after referee Gerard Sutton failed to follow through with the crackdown on headshots in Wednesday’s Origin opener.
No players were dismissed or sent for ten in the bin as both teams played 13 v 13 for the entirety of the 80 minutes.


But Kent took to NRL360 to air his frustration with a number of incidents.
“In regards to the crackdown, I think the NRL showed themselves as a gutless organisation last night,” Kent told NRL360 on Fox League.

“Kyle Feldt hit Cameron Murray high and should have been have been straight off the field.

“In club football, three weeks ago he was being sent off. So for all this rubbish they carry on with that ‘we’ve got to be consistent’ – that is a shoulder into the face.
“And then they doubled down on how gutless they were because they charged him with a Grade I dangerous contact which showed that they thought they got it down at the lower end, which is a complete lie and a complete misrepresentation about what it’s all about.”

Mo Fotuaika was the only played to be banned, while Cameron Munster and Feldt escaped with fines.
But Kent said the NRL’s inconsistency showed that their heavy-handed edict counted for nothing when it came to Origin.
“We heard all of the tough talk about it before the game and as I said, it was gutless,” he added.

“It just showed that they’re not there, it’s all PR and spin and they’re weakening already. They want to try and change the game and they allow that to be a Grade I dangerous contact which ends in a fine. Like, seriously.”
Fox League reporter James Hooper added: “The crisis-merchants that had the whistleblowers ruining the spectacle clearly had an impact because it went the other way. They had to have been directed to put the whistle in the pocket.”
