Ref and Bunker Decisions

[The Axe of Druss]

And I'm asking if there is another example of that particular ruling.

You don't have one, just admit it

Why would I you dope. Im referring to all rule interpretations

Because that's what I was asking about when you decided to butt in.

There were 3 blatant incidents of foul play just ignored by the bunker in 3 separate matches - on Keppie (high tackle across throat), Fermor (high tackle across face) and Walsh (hit late). Two of those incidents led directly to tries being scored the next set by their opponents.

The number of times the refs change interpretations in the same season just adds another layer of imbalance to the competition.

The funniest part of this is Easts fans thinking they still support a big relevant club.

The even funnier part.... Panthers fans thinking we give a crap what they think about our club

Another I noticed - and at the risk of upsetting Valheru and the Roosters brigade - how about that magnificent tackle from Tedesco to deny Tuilaga a try yesterday afternoon. Marvellous covering tackle where even the commentators missed the very clear swinging arm to the head.

Yes indeed, was like the commentators were watching something else entirely

Yes, and Tulilaga suffered a significant injury from it and will miss upwards of 6 weeks... oh, wait

I wasn't aware that an incident and subsequent injury had such a bearing on whether a player is suspended, put on report, penalised or isnt even noticed. Thanks for the clarification.

The NRL have said publicly a few seasons back that any resulting injury from foul play will affect the grading of any charge on a player who committed said act.

Ok. Onfield referee and bunker didn't even look at it, despite it being; high, moderate force, direct to the head and in the act of scoring a try. It's on the video highlights of the game on the NRL site and it's pretty clear that all of those criteria were involved. But not even a penalty, so its hard to be charged? At the start of the year that is probably a sinbin. Also at the start of the year the NRL were actively discouraging 'milking'. If Tuilagi stays down he probably draws attention to the incident. But rely who knows at this point.
Is there a way to bookmark this exchange for when Tedesco ducks into a high tackle?

Yes, I'm sure that Siua Wong will really give a damn whilst he recovers from the MCL injury he suffered due to the cannonball tackle committed by Karl Lawton. You know, the tackle the match officials and the bunker thought was an okay tackle and no foul play involved, yet one the MRC charged him with and to which Lawtwon plead guilty

Of what? Favoured clubs getting good calls over the non-favoured ones? Comon man, dont be naive

I think the Roosters have been in the top 3 most penalised teams from 2018 through to 2024, we're definitely not favoured.

The funniest part of this is Easts fans thinking they still support a big relevant club.

Arguing otherwise would just be dishonest. Like it or not the Roosters are one of the most successful teams in the NRL era, they are in one of the most desirable and important markets (Sydney City), they have significant power when it comes to attracting players and staff and they've had very few poor seasons in the NRL era.
