Moimoi - suspended or not IYO?

[parra-matters]

can't believe it was even a penalty let alone on report, not one of the 3 players in the tackle attacked the head. Blake just got squashed and hit the ground funny.

 

[parra pete]

We got 4 penalties all night.

If anyone wants to compile a dossier of video evidence to send to the NRL, get some tape of the penalty AGAINST Ben Smith in the first half for being 'too long' in the play the ball; then send the second half - every single time Parra was tackled - the dogs were allowed to lie on us for at least 4 times as long as Ben Smith got penalised for....

It was getting Parra frustrated - thought Reddy was going to elbow someone in the head again??

Actually - did anyone see Reddy throw the elbow into someone's side? It was about the 65 minute mark, he was tackled mid field about 35 out from our line and was standing in the tackle. Threw the elbow behind him...

No but I saw his future brother in law try to hit him with an elbow in the first half

Yeah I noticed that too Pete. He obviously had angry pills last night. I think Ennis had quite a few as well.....

 

[Parraren]

Three shocking calls last night;

1) The Tahu "high tackle" around the shoulders. Absolute copy book tackle.

2) The Barba "charge down". I threw the remote across the room....

3) The Fui contact with the head penalty - Green should have been charged for headbutting Fui's shoulder.

Dead set, these ref's are getting worse and worse and worse...

Tbh I didn't think there was anyhting wrong with the Barba charge down, it seems stupid but those are the rules.
On fui there is no way he'll be suspended for that absolute shocking call.

 

[attamarrap]

that "high shot" tahu got penalised for was the biggest joke of a call i have seen for a long time

How on earth could that be considered a charge down?

He didn't run towards the kicker to execute a charge down - he was standing flat footed and put his hand out to catch the ball.

If say he managed to momentarily grasp the ball (as he was trying to do) then fumbled it bringing it into his chest is it still a charge down or a knock on?

I hope Fui gets a week to give him a rest.

Give Mr $350k 80 minutes if Fuis out to see if hes up to it.

 

[Ike E Bear]

Wasn't even a penalty, joke of a decsion.

This.

yeah I agree - it wasn't a charge down, he tried to grab it - hindy was arguing with hayne about it ..... I've seen several times in the past where parra has been ruled to have knocked on when they do pretty much what barba did .... its pretty hard to "charge down" a chip kick cos its a soft kick off the boot and because it travels slow players grab at it instead ..... but hey, it was all very quick so i can understand the ref in the middle getting it wrong - the video ref should have a clue tho (but hey, bill harrigan, need we say more)

 

[Pazza]

who do we bring in to replace Poore off the bench if fui is out???

I recall a few seasons ago Benny Smith charged down a kick and regathered...And the ref ruled it a knock-on...

:crazy:

 

[TheParraboy]

Seriously he is a bloody thug, I hope he gets 4-6 weeks as an absolute minimum

I mean in all honesty his jaw could have seriously done a lot of damage to Moi Moi's anterior deltoid muscle

Thats Gold! :lol:

 

[Eels Dude]

Agree on the 'charge down'. When does a charge down attempt stop being a charge down and become an attempted catch? No way was Barba attempting to charge down the kick he was attempting to catch the football but knocked it on.

 

[forward pass]

I think KK should be more worried about his lifting tackle.....

 

[Cayless Hindmarsh]

If he is suspended for a game, he will miss the ANZAC test for NZ, not our game.

Unless they do they stupid non-selection shenanigans crap and don't let us count the ANZAC test. Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

wouldn't it depend when the NZ team is announced? are they announcing it sunday evening like australia? ... if he gets named sunday then charged monday surely they can't take 2 games off him

having said that, if he is charged for that then they are deadset kidding themselves

you've gotta be joking - there's been about 600 of them already this year that didn't even get penalised .... that was just an Archer special
