Napa sin bin

[blaza88z]

Don't worry Frank, best you move on to more important things in your life

Old mate Cliff here is driving an agenda, he wouldn't give a shit if let's say a Penrith player got hit

 

[Frank_Grimes]

So the mrc are misguided?

According to Greenberg? Yes.

And unless there’s physically a way you can play without a head I’m not sure you quite understand it’s impossible to make a shoulder tackle without tilting your head forward. Therefore it’s an accidental headclash. And on the merry-go-round we go again

You can make a shoulder tackle without aiming your head at someone. Hard to believe I know, but trust me - it's possible.

You mean the same view as the Match review committee? It wasn’t reckless, it wasn’t intentional, it shouldn’t have been a sin bin. Great hit that should of resulted in a roosters scrum feed. I hope he tackles exactly the same way again this week. I don’t like seeing players hurt but in a body contact sport like league it happens. I can’t wait to read your comments each and every time this now happens and players aren’t sin binned. Let’s see if you will be so vocal when your bias doesn’t dictate your opinion.

If you hit a player in the head it's a penalty at the very least, the best you could do is acknowledge he made contact with his jaw and before you come in with the "accidental headclash" bullshit, I just want you to know it doesn't matter how you make contact with his head, once you do it's a penalty

You mean the same Match Review committee that Greenburg admitted got it wrong?

I guess you had no problem with Nate Myles' tackling style in Origin?

The reality is that not many players tackle by leading with their heads. Bias is not dictating my opinion but I believe it is yours.

I agree that it shouldn't have been a sin bin. It should have been a send off.

Mate league isnt the sport for you. As with you I know expect greenburg will be so vocal every time on offering a “personal view” when he disagrees with refs or mrc.

“My personal view is player safety always comes first, and if you’re going to err on the side of caution, I thought it warranted a charge.”

Yeah, Napa deadset put his head down and charged like a bull. There was no need for it.

“Aiming your head” is implying he intentionally meant to headbutt him which he didn’t. Was Napa “aiming” for Matt Lodges head when he went in with the same tackle technique but this time the player didn’t step and avoid contact?

Really? So every head clash in recent times has been penalised?? And of course he contacted with his jaw. Who ever said he didn’t. If Napa intentionally tried to take him out with his head forget suspending him, he should be put into an asylum. You’re just as likely to knock yourself out as you are the opponent. It’s russian roulette. In this instance it was also the fourth tackle and game tied up. What moron would intentionally risk being penalised!! Again I’m looking to your reaction on the next incident. Have a feeling we won’t need to wait long for the next head clash.

This. He led with the head charging like a bull. It was not just a head clash.

It's blatantly obvious he was trying to put on a shot and dislodge the ball, he made contact with his head in doing so, spare me the bullshit.. this was not your typical head clash, you'll see hundreds of head clashes this season and none of them will look like that

 

[Cockosh]

So blatantly obvious that he wasn’t charged. FMD!!!! spare me your bs. Great tackle.

How do you know Napa wasn't intending to headbutt someone?

You're upset. It is clouding your judgement.

But it isnt illegal to put a hit on to dislodge the ball. That in itself does not lend itself to any argument over the other or in itself make it careless or reckless or intentional. Maybe his technique is flawed but this is the first head clash he has been a part of I can recall and accidents will happen. If it was intentional then he would be sitting out for a long long time

I reckon 1 out of how ever many thousand tackles he’s made in career is a fair indication

Plus you’d be a serious kind of stupid to purposely put your hesd in danger like that let’s be honest

So you're putting all your faith in the intelligence of a Rugby League front rower.

You don’t have to be Albert Einstein to know that charging in with your head like that can cause serious repercussions lol. It’s common sense

 

[blaza88z]

after hearing Napa talk the other day I wouldn't put anything past him

 

[Clifferd]

Yeh he’s not the brightest spark. But still

 

[typicalfan]

Richard Villasanti on Brad Fittler was as close as you get to intentional. Napa I could not put in that category.
