CROSS FORUM NRL 2023 Round 23 Discussion

However, it also shows the tip sheet system is well and truly enforced too.

Brown is marked as a thug (like Radley) so he was always getting marched. JWH on the other hand can damn near decapitate someone and it's merely another fine. Da system of inconsistency of the NRL is the one remaining constant.

The MRC indicated that at worst Walsh was directing it at the decision.

Teddy is doing exactly the same... he's not swearing at the ref, but he's protesting the decision. He doesnt need to cop 3 weeks, but if they're wanting to use swearing at a decision as precedent then he should at least be cited.

Otherwise it's just a one off against Walsh because of media influence.

I still think they are completely different types of sprays. If Tedesco added the C word on to his little tantrum I bet he gets cited. I dont think Walsh should have been suspended. Also you can deny it anyway you want but when you are the Australian captain, state captain and club captain you get more leniency and he has more respect in the game.

It's like this in alot of fields. Doesn't make it right but you get the benefit of the doubt.

Yep not like the Australian captain to slur someone racially in public and get away with it either. It is absolutely ridiculous, the captain should be held to a higher standard.
 
I have had a completely different view of Klein over the years compared to others. I think he has clearly been the best referee but the last month and a bit he has clearly either got a word in his ear or has completely changed his approach.

I believe he was one of the referees that didn't dish out many 6 agains or penalties but lately he hasn't stopped. Alot seem to be quick triggers too. He couldn't raise his arm at all in origin and now he won't stop. Has been terrible. That game last night was unwatchable. I actually prefer the way Cummins has been refereeing. Getting the balance right with 6 agains. To be fair to Klein last night both those teams were just deliberately giving away everything. Somebody should call out Robinson. That team has implemented it for years. Luke Keary has never found the 10m in his career there.

They should but they aren't. I'm more annoyed the way he approaches the ref after every single fucking decision. He isnt even good at it. Frantic and flustered. Didn't notice it when he was first made captain. Clearly a coaching directive. He needs to go to Cam Smiths house and get some lessons

Teddy clearly saying "fucking hell" to the ref at 1:28

I'm expecting Foxsports to provide wall to wall coverage with captions and a 4 hour MRC hearing followed by a lengthy suspension.

I don't think that's Tedesco at 1:28.

Sounds like 'Oi Teddy (he took) my fucking head off.

Ash: Ben...

The six-again rule has become boring, predictable and too subject by inconsistent interpretations by referees. It's ironic that when a team is attacking close to the line the game is almost back to the days of the tedious unlimited tackle rule eliminated in the 1960's. Referees give a huge advantage to an attacking team on little more than a gut feeling they deserve another six!
 
Nothing said though about Trbojevic's cocked elbow to Brown's face in retaliation though? Not a single mention by anyone in the commentary.

Yep Klein very rarely gave penalties or six agains... but he's changed forms to Klown since the origin series and is all about blowing the pea out of the whistle

One third as bad as Holmes apparently.

They received the same charge (Grade 2 careless high tackle)... Holmes copped 3 weeks because it was his third offence for the year.

Remarkably that was Brown's first of the year... although he's barely played this year so that helped him in the end.
