Not if you hit them in the head though

And you are allowed to jostle if running side by side, not shoulder them off the ball if you aren't even going for the ball, that's afl

He didn’t even hit him in the head. There was contact but Hymel Hunt, who was jostling on the other side, actually bumped Chee Kam into Smelly’s shoulder. Then CK copped a head slam from the ground.

I didn’t see it that way till I read KP was exonerated by the MRC and went had another look.

Take HH out though and KP was elbow bent and shoulder cocked.

^^^ now, that’s how to sit on a fence HAHA

Don’t see the head high on Williams! If he had stayed on his back for a bit and called for the trainer........ Um... Penalty. And probably a try.

Who the f**k would know these days

All I know is pongas shoulder wasn't accidental and even if it was since when has anyone got off for accidentally knocking someone out ?

It's really hard to enjoy the footy these days when you have ridiculous rulings like this one, do they realise it's a contact sport? Beggars belief.

Brings a tear to me old eye that does Cools.

Should be more of it in the game.

Yes it's staying on my sig for a while just to remind me what is lost and irretrievable in today's world. These crusher tackle rulings, someone tackles too agressively, or Ponga's farce are all head shakers.

RIP RL

Something against Grantville in the 8th minute

Haha yep, u got it

Cronulla prop Aaron Woods is facing a fine after being charged for a contrary conduct offence.The former Wests Tigers and Canterbury front-rower will be fined $1150 if he pleads guilty over the eighth-minute offence involving Cowboys hooker Jake Granville.

If Woods challenge the fine and is unsuccessful, the fine will rise to $1500. His charge was the only one to come out of the opening game of round 19.

This game is focked

Once a player is not in an upright position, then al bets should be off. There is no way in far can hell the defender has to take full responsibility for all the possible positions an attacker may get into in a split second.

What about alex mckinnon.
The guy is horizontal.
Jordan maclean, grub smith and some other mong have him arms pinned driving headfirst to the turf.
His fault because he dipped his head on impact they reckon.

A sport like tennis - its either in or its out. Everybody sees.
Most sports have little contention because theres small margin for ref or umpire error. Might go games before theres a controversy.

The problem with RL its EVERY game.
Because with our physical contact - and ruck and play the ball it is actually possible to find a penalty every single tackle.
Or to let it slide.
No other game affords the ref this 'luxury'.

Manly in the 80's under Hartley.
The broncs at suncorp.
The storm and roosters anywhere.
These sides have actually won competitions on the back of refs providing a continual legup.

That kickow tackle last weekend.
The MRC gave him 2 weeks. Media heads said it was fine.
The same tackle.
Viewed by 'experts' from both sides and they cannot agree if its legal or not.

Unfortunately its these shades of grey that allow certain teams to get the rub of the green and others not.

What if grub smith performs the kickow tackle?
What if billy slater performs the ponga hit?

Federer is the smith of tennis.
If that sports rules could be applied like RL Novak would never beat him.
