CROSS FORUM NRL 2023 Round 18 Discussion

[Organix]

When do players just leave the sport because the rules change every match?

 

[Brocko]

Shit sinbin has a real good chance of derailing the match

 

[JayPee]

On that other angle that Fonua Blake tackle is closer to a sin bin then I thought. Wouldn't be in my rule book but anywho

 

[Brocko]

Anyone else get annoyed that the rabbits take their fucking mascot to away games or just me

 

[Organix]

Someone explain how 15 - Mitchell can just open a huge hole in the line, stand there and prevent a player making any play at a tackle and it be a try?

If I were a Wahs fan, I would be fuming.

Was no worse than a couple of Souths imo

 

[Silvertails.net]

I haven't liked the way this game has been officiated both ways. That isn't a sin bin.

Agree, it's laughable that repeat infringements for pretty much the same thing - high tackles - doesn't warrant a sin bin yet one from the Warriors and you're off.

I would've thought that once Klein penalised Souffs six times in 20 mins with what, 4 of those high tackles that he'd call out the captain and say " l know it's wet but that's X amount of penalties for the same thing so be better or someone may go to the bin" but....

It was worse than all of them except maybe Illias last one. Bigger blokes cop it more though which is wrong.

 

[Organix]

These Fox commentary guys trying to justify this garbage! Deadset, it is because one high tackle was from Cook and he is an origin player, the sin bin is because the score was 6-4 Warriors. **** this comp. It's gross.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

It was on the other gap. If that is an obstruction there would never be a try ever in the red zone

Come on, they call obstruction on block plays where players are two and three in all the time.

To be fair most of them were soft. I just don't like a stop start game in an already hard game to play in because of the weather.

The Warriors player needed to throw himself to the ground, otherwise they wouldn't even look at it.

I'd have to see this one again but looked like Murray ran the next hole over.

Edit: Seen it again. Dunno really, I do think similar have been given no try simply because Mitchell doesn't even try go through the line

I think they got last weeks one wrong, but that doesn't mean everyone should be a no try.

 

[Big Pete]

The Warriors blew some golden opportunities and that Johnston try came off the back of a rookie mistake from Berry. Still, that Fonua-Blake call, off the back of a phantom off-side call has completely changed the complexion of the game.

That tackle wasn't as bad as the Ilias one from earlier.

 

[Fozz]

Atkins is the Bungler official for this game.

If Murray ran on the inside shoulder of Tohu where the decoy created the hole then it would've been an obvious obstruction, but he ran to the outside shoulder.

 

[JayPee]

Come on, they call obstruction on block plays where players are two and three in all the time.

Of course you will never get consistency but that was an easy decision. If he ran the outside shoulder of Harris then it was an easy call of an obstruction. Not on Barnett. Textbook decoy run.

I thought the Ilias tackle could've gone close to a binning... got him straight across the face and there weren't any mitigating factors (player dropping, etc.)

Fair. Murray was moving quicker on his run. Made it look worse. They both should have been penalties and that's all
