And they call Aussies casual racists, he might of got away with it if he didn't add that bit in about Herbie after. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2...ji-world-cup-betfred-eddie-hemmings-dom-young

I would normally be upset. But as we saw this year, it hardly makes any difference. If a darling team is too quick off the mark or deliberately slowing down the ruck while they have the opposition pinned, the refs just let it go this year.
Last year teams did it cynically, knowing a 6-again early in the count, with the opposition pinned, didn't hurt. With the NRL changing the rule back to being a proper penalty, instead of actually penalising those teams this year, they just ignored it, so those teams that benefited last year benefited even more this year.

It's disgusting and he 100% should be stood down but if leilua was an an important Australian player would he have been stood down for the world cup or would the nrl have dealt with it after?
Honestly, why do they have the right? JWH, Lolo and now leilua. It's crazy the players are just accepting thse bans tbh, it's upto the IRL federation to suspend them for their tournament surely...

Can anyone remind me what the Aus v NZ game was when Sailor and Barnett clashed heads and Barnett’s face was destroyed?
I think it was 1999 or 2000?
I want to try find a full match replay. I remember that was around the time I first got into league and that was the game I fell in love with the sport.
Big Pete ?

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the main tournament matches and not the warm-up games.

Going to this rule set will really hurt some of the international teams and basically makes Australia an overwhelming favourite due to Cleary's kicking game.
2020 was completely dominated by teams with the best kicking games. There's barely enough decent kickers in the NRL let alone the international game, so some teams that might've gone better under a rule set that can provides penalties will instead be stuck inside their own 20m line copping garbage six agains any time they get a hint of momentum.

To be fair, it's like an Astra going up against a Ferrari.
