That's how i saw it too, and obviously the refs.

He may be the only player in the history of the NRL to be made the example of in both the beginning and ending of a crackdown.
The Bunker can't rule on forward passes; nor can it rule on anything other than the final play leading to a 'try'. It could see a howler in an earlier play and still have to award a try. The rules governing the Bunker are flawed; not to mention that the Vidiot in the Bunker makes more mistakes than Aloiai.[st_table="45%"][st_tr][st_td_row="2"][/st_td_row][st_td]Sproj - broncoshq.com[/st_td][/st_tr][st_tr][st_td="0.7"]JOINED: .September 5, 2013

If the NRL:
5. Made the bunker rule ONLY on tries and captain's challenges and all their communications with refs must be made open to all
The 2 other tacklers had control of the tackle before Carrigan came in late to bring the ball carrier to the ground. That's the type of hip drop that is avoidable and can be penalised out of the game, unlike the total accidents like the Mam/Haas/Carrigan etc tackles seen this year
They can rule on foul play which is causing the game issues. Also judging by some of the audio that's available the on-field referees are being coached on the field.[st_table="45%"][st_tr][st_td_row="2"][/st_td_row][st_td]The Who - silvertails.net[/st_td][/st_tr][st_tr][st_td="0.7"]JOINED: .June 29, 2010

Talking 'bout my g-g-generation
I for one, am against giving the referees more subjective rules that they have to navigate as they show they just can't get it done.[st_table="45%"][st_tr][st_td_row="2"][/st_td_row][st_td]Broncos Maestro - broncoshq.com[/st_td][/st_tr][st_tr][st_td="0.7"]JOINED: .May 1, 2016

In regards to the shameful sin bins during the week, I think that new rules are needed to stop the game turning into a soccer fest
1. All apparent “injured” players have a forced 10 mins assessment off the field
2. Any player caught faking their injuries or milking for a penalty are either sin binned for 10 mins immediately or if reviewed after the game has finished, they side loses 2 competition points regardless of whether they won or lost.
We need REAL disincentives to hit clubs otherwise it becomes a complete farce for the NRL. Compare our sport to Rugby Union or even AFL; the game’s growth is laughable compared to those.
I would keep sin bins for really deliberate bad play.[st_table="45%"][st_tr][st_td_row="2"][/st_td_row][st_td]Broncos Maestro - broncoshq.com[/st_td][/st_tr][st_tr][st_td="0.7"]JOINED: .May 1, 2016

He's talking about last year when Patty Carrigan was the first one sent off for a hip drop and then subsequently suspended for 4-6 weeks. He was the first.[st_table="45%"][st_tr][st_td_row="2"][/st_td_row][st_td]Aman - nzwarriors.com[/st_td][/st_tr][st_tr][st_td="0.7"]JOINED: .April 9, 2016

Umm Marata Nuikora being pulled up 5 plays after the incident was what started this whole thing.

For technique or fatigue errors just put them on report and sort it out later.
Penalise the player (fines and suspensions) rather than penalising the contest and fans. Way to many sin bins in the game at the moment.
Smash em bro
A penalty is suffice for a technique or fatigue error[st_table="45%"][st_tr][st_td_row="2"][/st_td_row][st_td]mrslong - broncoshq.com[/st_td][/st_tr][st_tr][st_td="0.7"]JOINED: .March 25, 2008
