Napa sin bin

[Valheru]

Agree. I think its 2 things
1)is the reckless/careless/intentional part which is a penalty because of the contact with the head. I get that & have no issue
2)sin binning that clash sets a precedent. Are they now going to do that as standard? The sin bin will increase by plenty if they do.

No

And that is the issue

 

[some11]

Tried to put on a big shot, failed, and got binned.

Learn from it Dylan.

 

[nick87]

No

Absolutely
If this is a line in the sand moment and from now on, this is how it is, I’m fine with that

But we know it won’t be

 

[Saxon]

Robinson, what a wanker.
Blaming Sims for stepping left to try and avoid being smashed.

It wasn't one of those circumstantial head clashes - this came directly from Napa's poor (intentional or not) technique.

When was the last enforcement of that rule?

 

[JamesRustle]

Would have been a great tackle if the recipient was Lodge.

When was the last enforcement of that rule?

I actually got fined for jaywalking a few weeks ago.

I didn't carry on like a bitch when I got fined though.

You didn't answer my question

 

[Life's Good]

No

There’s less controversy(IMO)if Sutton sends him off under the ‘attacking the head of an opponent’. That’s what you would expect. But a sin bin?

 

[some11]

It was an allegory, and I couldn't care less when it was last enforced.

Rules are rules, people get shitty when they aren't enforced then get shitty when they are.

Tend to agree actually. If he thought it was intentional contact to the head, send him. Otherwise penalty only.

No we just want consistency and that hasn't been a sin bin in the modern era and there won't be another one like it this year.

 

[insert.pause]

He shot out of the line and launched himself blind & head first into Sims, it's absolutely reckless. The defender has to be responsible for contact with the head, sin bin may be debated, but to label it an everyday accidental head clash, as ch9 have, is ridiculous.

 

[Haffa]

The standard has been set I look forward it being consistently called that way from now on. Although I do fear the idiots near me at the ground who yell "get em onside" for 80 minutes will now yell for a sin bin after every reportable offence.

 

[txta2]

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

all of them

Exactly, and used at the referees discretion is a joke. They should ALL be binned or sent when put on report for dangerous play.

 

[Spot On]

Robinson, what a wanker.

Lewis, Gould and Vautin all said exactly the same thing.

Opacic had a poor technique. Hit fergo head first in the knee and could well have blown the knee out. Not even a penalty.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

I immediately thought vilisanti on webcke

I would like someone to explain to me how it was any different to this

Villa played for the Kangaroos partly because of this

David Kidwell arguably became Kiwis coach partly because he Napa’d Willie Mason

Headclashes used to be cool

 

[Rosetta]

The slowmo's and still shots are absolutely pointless - Sims changes his angle and compacts his frame just before contact - without doing this Napa's head is to the right of his upper body and he gets tackled across the top of his chest. Whilst Napa's technique at times can let him down there was nothing wrong here, just Sims saw Napa bolt at him and tried to avoid it but ended up making it worse, accidents happen.

The refereeing was your typical overreaction, but they'll never give up a chance to blow their whistle in this league so good for them.

 

[no name]

Napa has a reputation of being a dirty player hence why he was put on report on suspicion by referee Sutton.
If I was referee this game he would have been sent off.
The dirty thug always looks to deliberately hurt other players.

That’s the way to ref.
Forget the rules and adjudicate on reputation.
