Milford / Oates collision.... play-on or not?

[Travitoh]

It's ok to stop the play but to then allow play to continue 10 minutes later when Tyrone May is down with a knee injury is the kind of inconsistency that currently has people turning on the officials.

Regardless if it was accidental offside, knock on or anything else, I have no issues with stopping play for a badly injured player at any point during a game.

I'm just glad for Oates, Hodges wasn't refereeing last night.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Should have definitely been play on because Corey Oates isn't going to die in the 4 seconds it takes for the next play to stop(Either Panthers players get tackled or they race away and score)

Stop the game at the end of the current play.

 

[simmo1]

Clear dive. Play on.

 

[soc123_au]

Losing Oates is on par if the Panthers were to lose Mansour, except our winger can contest a high ball

My point was that Mead played very well replacing Oates. Its not like your 5/8th did his ACL just before half time or anything.

As a Penrith fan I can't say I disagree with the call either.

Oats could have had a neck injury or anything.

This is possibly the worst trolling effort of 2017, can some engrave the award now please.

So glad Pen-ref got dudded on this. Karma's a bitch.

You are a mong. No one is complaining about the call. By the rules they could have played on but chose not to due to player welfare which everyone is fine with. Except for you who's in here with your Broncos pity party.

Your second sentence is complete bullshit. Anyway take your loss and piss off

Nah it's too much fun watching certain Manly fans and yourself going crazy over us. I've never seen more triggered fans in my life.

Not as much fun as ending your teams season.

I reckon play on. The ball was miles away when he blew. Couldve waited for the next tackle/ stoppage which is what they often do

 

[toomuchsoup]

Normally I'd say play on, but I think the refs using their discretion in this instance was the right choice. The sound of that clash was brutal and I immediately thought Oates and Milford were both f**ked.

I do think the JainArrow insident wasn't fair though. He should have been taken off straight away, not wait until the 5th tackle, which he was part of.
It was instantly clear that he was concussed. Get him straight off. It's little things like this that fans notice. Brisbane get the stoppage when it benefits them, Penrith get it when it doesn't. Refs influence can seem subtle but can really affect momentum and momentum can be everything

 

[veggiepatch1959]

There was no controversy that lead to the Broncos winning

In the current climate of lawsuits against the NFL and WWE there's no way it should be play on when there's a possible head injury, the NRL can't afford to f**k around

Another f**ker who wants to compare Australian sport to the mess that Americans shove down the throats of their populace.

Don't forget that the US is the inventor of the lawsuit.

Next thing, diners will be suing restaurants for the poor quality of their toilet paper when they get a dirty finger.

Or should that read "restroom" paper....

On injuries last night: good work by Alfie Langer checking up on May after he went down.

Anything being a broken fingernail?

Shout out to Mansour who rolled Thaiday onto his side, even after their ferocious shoving match only minutes prior.
