How did the NRL "ok" tackling on suspiscion??
.
match review commissioner Greg McCallum said. "If you are going to run as a decoy, you've got to be prepared to be tackled."
This is exactly where the NRL ok'd it.
There was no mention by the match review committee or anyone else that the referee's decision not to award a penalty was right or wrong.
McCallum has basically indicated that decoy runners should expect to get hit. Its there in black and white. Had he gone on to clarify then sure, he may have said it differently. But he didnt, did he?
Harrigan admitted it was illegal and should have been a penalty to the dragons, you cant take a player out whether it was an accident or not without the ball,
So you have the referee spokes person saying its an illegal act and the ref and video ref was wrong not to award the penalty
:sarcasm::sarcasm: do the oki chokie do the oki chokie.Ainscough was rightfully penalised for foul play. Sa wasnt. I would have been surprised if he was suspended but I thought a grade 1 careless was in order. Given they made sure O'Meley got the maximum without suspension though, I'm far from surprised.
Sa knocked out a player off the ball, thats a fact. Its also illegal going by the rules but whats done is done.
I stand by my thoughts on Mini, you guys created the prowler and do it so much O'Meley almost caned one of your own. I really hope Mini gets a prowler in the lower back.
Finally someone read the rulebook.

Oh I have moved on....
I just enjoy stirring up Ribwich here
well keep moveing its mad monday for u guys this week:lol:
What? lolLook you are all wrong
The god of all that is right Willow told me so.
He said fitzys wasnt a try because the ref didnt award it.
He said the dragoons were not off-side because the ref didnt penalise them
He said gasnier didnt knock on in goal because he gave the roosters a drop out.
So going by these decisions, Sa done nothing wrong because he wasnt penalised nor charged and O Meley was the victim of a diorty player trying to buy a rest and a penalty.
If you dont believe me ask Willow
Are people that lazy they can't copy and paste article content? sheesh!
The Sa shot was ordinary and off the ball and worth AT LEAST one week for mine. F*cking disgraceful.
lets see your reaction when pearce is fked up in the same way.
there's nothing wrong the physicallity of the hit. it's the fact creagh never had, or looked like receiving the football.
that cool - the bar has been set ... prepare for less scupulous coaches to take advantage of the precedent ...
dont for a minute think that Gallen wont be sweating on hits like this .. or Watmough ..
Ennis for sure will have this one filed away in his brain cell for the game against the roosters ...
if that was a Mitchell Pearce/Jonathon Thurston/Darren Lockyer running that line and getting hit like that then whoever did it would have no chance to play the next week and there is no way anyone could say they would get off
