Who replaces BJ on Anzac Day

[Guest]

I loved hearing the refs explanation for the penalty and placing on report... "Ive thought about it and its going on report".

Translation... Its an Easts player. Lets try and rub him out for a week or two.

So, so naive.

Wait a minute. Players have their shirts grabbed all the time i.e. pretty much every tackle. But you don't see them wrenching someone's arm. He'll get suspended for a week or so, and quite rightfully.

His arm was wrenched because it was clenching onto BJ's body which was moving in the opposite direction. Fergo would have nobody to blame but himself for the awkward position his arm ended up in.

Don't want to hurt your arm ? Let go of the jersey. Pretty simple.

You need to watch the replay again. Leilua clearly applied force on his arm. If it was a Melbourne player, or any other teams player for that matter doing it to one of our own, you'd be going mental.

Ferguson went to the Cameron Smith school of smugness. The look on his face afterwards was not one who had recently experienced pain.

I just watched it again. Bj never grabbed his arm or hand. He was standing up and Ferg was holding his collar!

0:27-0:32. Leilua clearly makes a motion to control and then force Ferguson's arm.

It didn't look good but the fact Ferguson was holding his jersey and got up laughing like a wanker knowing he milked penalty should get him off.

Two things; BJ moved to force him with his torso , not sure that he was holding the arm at the point of concern; and
The tackle wouldn't have been half as ugly if Ferguson wasn't trying to milk a penalty by grabbing the jersey.

Deserving of a penalty and it was the right call to put it on report but there's enough doubt there on a few views.

What crap. Players are taught to wrestle and control the players body. Leilua is no different.

so that excuses him does it?

much like biting on the field? if someone is giving u grappling you you have every right to return with a clenched jaw and bite? is that what you're saying? two wrongs dont make a right

plane and simple.

Yes he does make a motion to Ferg's arm. But doesn't grab or control it!
