I don't think he meant it, but deadset there was some horrible refereeing in the whole incident. Waterhouse had nothing to do with it, White knocked Pricey the f**k out in a fair fight, AND they took the try off us for something that had no effect on the play. Not to mention you should apparently be sent off for tackling a bloke who's punching your mate, but not for viciously kicking a player in the face
yeah spot on .... the referees (I think archer moreso than hayne - or perhaps good old bill was being a knob from the box again) deadset lost the plot
waterhouse
could of got in trouble for being 3rd man in if he actually did something wrong, but worst case that is only ever 10mins, not sent off
I don't have that much of a problem with them taking the try away - they ARE allowed to if there has been unrelated foul play while the try is being scored ..... but if the video ref has a say, he'd see price went looking for it and simply lost a fight - his own doing
and then even the next play - queensland put up a bomb, and since there were still more than 30secs remaining, I can only imagine they had decided to give the ball to NSW purely so they could try and belt them ... they then go looking for sh*t and all creagh does is a bit of a push and he ends up binned for a push :lol: :lol:
I honestly think the refereeing at the end there was aimed at sucking up to a completely mis-guided crowd to settle them down .... players like hodges and thaiday were going on like twats over price losing a fight and in the process inciting a bunch of gullible rednecks
as for thurston ... hindy got a week for his fairy tap kick earlier this year - thurston should go for at least 2 for his full blooded shot at a players head
