CROSS FORUM NRL 2022 Round 17 Discussion

[Super Freak]

Smith referred straight to the judiciary for the dissent.

Fifita only gets a fine for that tackle. So they deem it worthy of a sin bin but not worthy of a suspension. MRC and match officials haven’t been on the same page for years and it’s really not a good look.

His tackle wasn’t even worthy of a penalty. But if you think it’s a dangerous tackle then charge for that.

That's because the video review officials have a directive not to judge severity or mitigating factors. They simply rule on whether an offence is occured and they apply a penalty based on rigid criteria. In this case they saw Fifita make a tackle and that Smith ended up in a dangerous position. An argument could have been made that Smith put himself in that position, but the video review officials are encouraged to reach a decision ASAP.

It's a ridiculous system that was poorly thought out and it all comes off the back of one incident involving Drew Hutchinson where the Roosters had to cop it sweet. The same team that tried to victim blame Korbin Sims for getting his jaw broken by Dylan Napa who went looking for a big hit, got it horribly wrong and got what he deserved.

 

[Accept]

At the game tonight. I haven't been this cold since we attended a match in Melbourne in September 2019. Latrell has entered the building (followed closely by his bro).

 

[BroncsFan]

Well that's definitely a category 1 on Ilias... unless of course golden child shenanigans

 

[Broncos Maestro]

How to **** is that not a bloody obstruction ?!?!?

 

[BruiserMk1]

What a run of play!

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

This yelling commentator on channel 9. Honestly who the **** does the hiring on channel 9 and fox sports. It's like they want to turn people off the game....

 

[Kimlo]

Outstanding from Dom. Great try saver followed by a great try.

 

[BruiserMk1]

Great scrambling defence from the knights.

 

[Kimlo]

Illias failed HIA.

 

[Fozz]

That's not Latrells go

 

[Kimlo]

Gotta love a HIA for a dive.

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

Double knock on, team runs 10 metres with 2 passes for 2nd knock on - ref called team took advantage, commentators say the refs have been lenient with taking advantage this year in similar situations...


No, no, no that is only if it the broncos guys come on now

That was a crap call I reckon... teams have gone 4-5 passes or ran further forward and been allowed to come back for no advantage... but I guess not all teams can be a golden child NSWRL team

 

[Kimlo]

I know that's a dog shot from Klemmer but they never even bin for those.

 

[BruiserMk1]

God I want someone to put one on Mitchell and Walker

 

[Organix]

Screw the NRL. First of all, Mitchell elbowed Saulo in the head coming down and the kid went off for the rest of the game. Then he runs in and instigates an ugly scuffle and Klemmer gets sent off and Latrell kicks an extra 2 points? Get fucked. Klemmer will come back from a suspension just in time to play us. Souffs F/A is improved. Ok, it was an average game, with terrible defense, but you can't send Klemmer for reckless contact, when Latrell does it intentionally and nothing for racing in for a fight.

Not much different to Mitchell dropping an elbow on the Knights player that went off for a HIA...apart from the fact he had the ball.
Imo, he (Mitchell) knew what he was doing.
