now that was a joke.

imo it was hard to pick a MOM for that match, hardly anyone was a standout

congrats Broncos anyway, well deserved win :x

Thx, but I don't think we deserved the win, we were lucky your guys couldn't get it together in the first half.

Well we didn't deserve the win either...last year on the other hand...

not drunk mate

So just geniused then? My apologies.

 

[Pass the Ball]

Congrats on yet another win against the chooks...

Very poor form from Parker though...

 

[Big Pete]

PtB, Parker actually suffered a nasty cut close to his eye as a result of Myles' kick. After the game Parker spoke out about the incident and actually said it was an accident and held no malice.

 

[Pass the Ball]

I have always held Parker with a high regard as a footballer and after the incident I was looking to see if he had something to whinge about, (blood, cut) and could see nothing..

If what you are saying is correct then, I am happy to retract my statement..

It certainly was an accident...

shouldn't have been a penalty regardless of whether he has a scratch or not. Players kick and struggle in every. single. tackle.

 

[Big Pete]

I recall it isn't the first time it's been given a penalty. So I have no qualms as long as they're consistent with the officiating.

SECTION 15
PLAYER’S MISCONDUCT​

Definition of misconduct
1. A player is guilty of misconduct if he:
(a) trips, kicks or strikes another player.

I guess the rule comes under this law, it isn't something you don't see very much anymore, but when it happens a player will be penalised.​

I suspect with kicking it comes down to whether the ref thinks it was intentional/severe. I don't know.

But i often wonder about the "as long as its consistent" attitude. I've heard it a lot in regards to attacking the kicker this season. Imo consistently enforcing a rubbish rule isn't that much better than inconsistently doing it...i'd far prefer they scrapped the nonsense altogether
