The Refs

I love the ref today.

Serious?

Between him and the bunker, they did their best to keep St George in it (or at least respectable).

Midway through the second half, they called Marky Mark for a knock on when Easts were a few metres out. Reckoned it travelled forward off his forearm when he was on the ground going for the ball. It was nowhere near him.

And how is it that whenever Easts tackle high, they get penalised, binned and put on report, yet when their opponents do it, it's just a penalty?

Id take him over Klown and Sutton any day.

I can cop mistakes from refs, but outright bias - detestable.

[Noosa Rooster]

I know a week is a long time in this game but last week Edwards interference on Teddy is all clear - no penalty, play on. This week, Paps very similar interference on Jye Grey is a penalty and 10 in the bin.
No wonder people are PO'd with the state of the refs and bunker.

What about Souffs? The welfare club has everything go their way and as only won 1 comp in over 50 years.

Yes but we expect souffs to fail. They don’t disappoint.

Add Souffs undies to the list of accessories

Did that little Vlandys-arse-licking twerp Anusley have anything to say about the non sin-bin/penalty try for Edwards taking out Teddy, or don’t they do those “briefings” anymore in 2025?

Nobody can say you’re not consistent Carlos.

Nobody has said that I saw it wrong.

And what about Valentine Holmes's tackle on Savala that led to their first try? I saw a shoulder charge that looked suspiciously high, but nothing was checked by the ref or, apparently, the bunker.

No you see it very well from your one eye mate

What is your opinion of the tackle on Savala?

[Tennessee Tornado]

What is your opinion of the tackle on Savala?

I agree. Hit with shoulder not high but no wrapping motion. Should have come back for penalty

[The Lip]

What is your opinion of the tackle on Savala?

Good hit - should be allowed

[player 1]

What is your opinion of the tackle on Savala?

Textbook shoulder charge - point of shoulder used with as much force as possible with zero tackling motion.

Another really easy decision for both the ref and bunker, but deliberately ignored to help shift momentum to a more even contest - sadly for them, it didn’t.

Good hit - should be allowed

It was allowed, until 2012. It has been illegal since then, for good reason, see below link. Way, way more dangerous than the kind of soft slap on the head Sandon was binned for.
