Refs were amazing again in regards to looking after Melb. Nene and Asiata both in agony with serious injury...play on! A full set later, Munster gets hammered (granted with a grubby tackle) STOP THE PRESS! National day of mourning! There needs to be an investigation!
Disgusting from Badger the bearded turd.
To be honest I can't blame Badger. It 100% falls on the touch judge.
Badger has been instructed to let play flow if an incident is in back play by the NRL, unless directly asked by a touch judge, pocket red or doctor to stop.
He has to rely on his touchies in that situation because play must go on, but apparently the touchies have directly ignored the request of the trainer's to stop the game because they needed to hear it from the doctors. But the doctors are obviously occupied tending to Nene so it's f**king dumb
Touchie should have clearly seen the situation warranted stopping and related this to badger, who at his position could not stop the game.
Badger is an overall good ref. Nobody's perfect as it's a very hard game to referee but he's in the higher tier of what we've got
