Paul Simpkins - an absolute disgrace

[steaming stormer]

So people other than Melbourne fans realise how bad he is now. He is ordinary at best!

 

[JoeD]

So far this season the Warriors have had calls against them which prompted a rule change (obstruction), had a video ref sacked and an apology from Finch (how often does that happen?) It will be interesting to see what will happen this time.

In all fairness Mckinnon probablly needed to be binned for dissent after that try but all Mckinnons theatrics aside it was an abysmal decision by Simpkins. To allow himself to get tied up in a personal conflict and then send a player off for a unrelated incident is inexcusable. Sure send him off for dissent if you think its approprite but to send him for an obvious square up because he just gave you a gobfull is immature and unprofessional. Simpkins needs a long long rest from top grade footy.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

The word you are lookingfor is dissent... but other than that I agree with you.

 

[mattyj]

Cheers mate! i'll edit that just for you

 

[badav]

What a complete and utter joke. This bloke cannot handle the pressure of first grade, how can he send Wade McKinnon off for kneeing a bloke when he didn't even come close? Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful.

It was a nothing incident. But Wade Mckinnon needs to stop getting into running battles with refs. Hes already done it several times this season. He brought it on himself.

A very bad combo Simkins on the field and Bill in the box--dumb and dumber

Maybe so, but the referee has to remain calm.
He wanted an excuse to send him off and he found one...except it will backfire on him bigtime and i hope it costs him the GF in 2007.
A ref cannot lose his composure on the field and Simpkins turned from NRL referee to his other role as Police officer in that stupid decision to send off wade.

1. Yes, he does need to stop getting into running battles with refs.
2. But, I fail to see how a running battle with a ref "brought it on himself" - you're suggesting that Simpkins could be expected to hallucinate/make up a kneeing incident because McKinnon was less than polite (note it started because the touch judge said McKinnon through the first punch - when again the evidence suggested he didn't). Fair enough if he was binned for going on, but he didn't bring on a send off for kneeing... that's f**king ridiculous...

All the reports coming say Simpkins is due to get the sack and the NRL is worried about the embarrassment factor

 

[skeepe]

Surprise surprise, Mackinnon not charged. Bye bye Simpkins.

 

[Wests is Best]

Can somebody please fill me in as I only saw the incident on the news last night.
Did Simpkins send off Mckinnon on a touchies report, or did he see the incident himself?

 

[Iafeta]

"Saw" it himself.

 

[innsaneink]

I hope WTs or Cambo Council charge the Warriors for the vandalism McKinnon caused in the sheds after being sent off....the guy needs anger mgmnt counselling.

 

[Fast Eddie]

What did the sheds look like afterwards?:lol:

 

[Mr Saab]

The guy was angry...he had every right to be. He doesnt need anger management counselling.
He gets accused of starting a fight with Rhino...which IMO was all Rhino

Suprised Timmah didnt make a thread about it the shower heads....like he did with the fence being broken.
If i was Wiki or Price i would be more pissed at him for not being able to have a proper shower!

 

[Dr Crane]

What did he do?

There there precious.

Never mind the chick above the tunnel giving him a horrendous gobful as he walked off.

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

He was wrongly judged and sent, of course he's going to throw a fit about it.

I think if you were in his position and got given your marching order for doing nothing wrong you'd probably break something too

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

What did he do?

trashed the sheds after he got sent off.

Hope he tagged them as well:lol:
