Ryles send off

[cb4]

But Stain fans are seriously kidding themselves if they think Vadge was the sole reason they lost.

i second that

Its an interesting question you raise Tim. I think the most important part of it all has kinda been glossed over a bit. Prior to Ryles lashing out at the scrum, when the melee happened, he warned both teams any more niggle and someone would be sat down. In amongst all the referee bashing that has gone on this year (and yes I know I have been at the head of the queue) shouldn't he be given credit for following up on his "threats"?

Sure, the send off was harsh and as someone in another thread said, perhaps a sin-bin would have been a better option, but really, he warned them and then followed through. We've seen teams get warning, after warning, after warning this year and the refs have been accused of being too soft, yet when one of them does actually do what he says he will, he gets hauled over the coals for it.

Opinion poll should be interesting... happy for it to be merged with the Ryles send off thread

Should Badger be dropped for his questionable performance tonight?

He was only refereeing per NRL instructions so hard to judge him on his performance.

 

[God-King Dean]

As for Slater being a dog. :lol: Whinge Whinge Whinge.

Yeah I'm sure you'd come to the same conclusion if Parker was kicked in the head whilst lying down, & Wallace was punched while 3 opposition players were holding him. :lol:

Wanker.

 

[Calixte]

Nice show of sportsmanship from the Dragons fans. :lol:

Ryles tried to bluff the ref and failed. Idiot. His team should have kicked the sh*t out of him in the sheds.

You don't win a premiership with discipline like that...

As for the ref, the sin bins were justified under the laws of the game. As was the send-off. As another poster said, kicks are send-offs. The only issue is whether it qualified as a "kick". The ref had warned the captains re- further issues before.

IMO it didn't deserve a send-off, will result in no suspension and was too literal a decision from the ref. A mistake on the ref's part. But one of interpretation only.

Stupid, stupid play from Ryles is indisputable...

 

[God-King Dean]

No. This would require Finch making a decision.

Problem is, LIMA was the instigator, and got barely a peep said to him.

The system is f*cked. Simple as that.

And for mine that isn't the issue. This was clearly a kneejerk send off by a panicked referee who was about to lose control of a game. Not the kind of referee I want running NRL matches thanks.

I remember Campion flogged the sh*t out of Webcke with Marsh holding Webcke back yet I didn't go onto a forum and start claiming he's a dog. Wiki kneed Parker while he was on the ground having been tackled yet didn't do the same, so don't assume the worst in people.

It's Rugby League ffs, who are you going to blame next? Alexander? Raymond? Who?

 

[brad_19]

Was very, very poor. Has to be said.

No you idiot.

Being a tough game you could say its a joke that he got sent... but the rules state you kick someone you get the finger... The problem i have is that Lima wasn't sent aswell...

Front rowers often strike out with the foot. Tonight it was actually Lima that instigated and Ryles retaliated - I suspect that'll be part of his defence if or when this makes it to the judiciary.

Either way, if refs were that strict we'd be seeing front rowers getting sent off every weekend.

No need imo... the question of Badger's demotion rests not specifically about the send off alone.

I vote no... simply because I don't know of any better referees waiting for the call up?

The refereeing ranks seem a bit dire of late, all the extra gizmos and/or extended career pathways (aka video refs) don't seem to be making the game any more accurate, nor free flowing.

 

[wittyfan]

A week or two off would be sufficient.

 

[Tom Shines]

Bring back Mogsheen Jadwat.

How long has it been since a Jadwat reference? They were a daily occurance at one stage.

He stomped on his toe. He only kicked out after he was kicked. Are you blind or so keen to find evidence against Ryles that you cant see your arse from your elbow? Seriously...

As for the sin bins..... all Soward did was get up FFS. He had his head down. He did nothing at all to be sent.

The choice of players to the bin went on the reports of the touch judges, not the referee. Or are you blind or so keen to find evidence against the ref etc. etc. :lol: f**king raver.

Ryles. Stupid act which showed no discipline. I have no issues with the bloke or the club. No axe to grind or bias in favour or against. But I'm f**king Robinson Crusoe here. :lol:

 

[eddiesmith]

I vote drop him for good, but thats because I worry what he will do if we meet the protected species in the final at OP with that moron in charge, he will probably send a couple of our forwards off in the first 5 minutes because they tackled one of the PS too hard

Both touchie reports were different anyway. Did you see it?

Tell me what Soward did. And I bet we wont see an answer to that.......

I like Ryles firing up. Its a f*cking contact sport you fairy. Listen to yourself, you try to justify a send off for that and call it ill discipline. I call it football.

Piss off and watch soccer.

 

[Adsy]

Every Dragons fan on here has a right to be pissed and to unleash whatever they want. That was one of the softest send offs of all time and Ryles didnt even start the game of tootsies.

Badger should be banned for life.
