lucky it wasnt a send off, grub, and then to stroll back like king shit as if he put on a good hit, f**king over rated piece of shit.

 

[Birdee_Num_Num]

nate miles should have gone to the bin 1000 times then.

 

[Last Week]

Correct decision.

My foxtel was being weird so watched on 9. Gus was carrying on about it being the wrong call. Nupty, as usual.

 

[Clifferd]

Morris was in

 

[Fufu Andronez]

He just seems so dopey lol. It feels bad sending him off, he doesn't know what he's doing half the time

Dylan figjam Napa. Another one of those big tough qld "enforcers"

 

[Life's Good]

Napa’s tackle was definitely that but so are about 20 other tackles each week with no binning(probably more when the neck is taken into consideration).
Very strange.

Wrong call

Accidental head clash, exacerbated by Sims dropping his head as Napa went for a chest level tackle

Never ever a send off

His uncle Takeh was a hard man.

 

[yobbo84]

Only Dylan Napa or Sam Burgess would go for that. But it was Napa, and wasn't Burgess, so correct decision

 

[Billythekid]

It's a tough call. On the one hand head clashes are never really a sin bin.

On the other hand though Napa was going to that tackle totally recklessly and had little control over where he was going to hit with his head or arms. If you go in reckless and knock a player out like that does it really matter if it was your head, should or arms? If you take a dangerous risk like that and it doesn't come off there's a good chance you'll be in trouble. Whether the head butt was intentional or not doesn't really matter. High tackles are never really intentional, doesn't mean they shouldn't be punished.

I'm still torn on how I feel about it. It certainly felt weird seeing someone sin binned for a head clash but I understand it.

It's like that scene from Titanic
"Jake, im flying!"

 

[BranVan3000]

Photo looks dramatic, but his arms follow through with a wrapping motion. If their heads hadn’t clashed it would have been a fantastic ball and all tackle

 

[ReddFelon]

If he doesn't land the head butt it's a shoulder to the head of Corbyn either way. Flying headbutts can kill a man, heads up tackling is taught at junior levels. Right call, Chris Benoit's ghost will be suing Napa.

 

[skeepe]

Correct call. Reckless contact with the head.

fine, but how many of those every week are simply penalties and put on report?

all of them

The sin bin is available at the referee’s discretion.

I thought it should have been a straight send off personally.
