CROSS FORUM NRL 2023 Round 7 Discussion

[Bull Shark]

But according to the Fox Crew... he's a larrikin ... so he'll be one of the boys soon enough

“Mate…. I’m tellin’ ya ..”

 

[Brocko]

Surely a fit Turbo at least comes close to trying to stop that earlier Melb try? Didn't look like he hit speed to get over there.

Could be wrong only caught the end of one replay

 

[Kimlo]

First time I have ever heard that being the reason.

It's been a thing for well over a decade. I'm sure @Big Pete will remember what I'm talking about but I believe a player was seriously injured being dragged back and the ref didn't call held which was controversial and led to what we see in modern day.

My mind is thinking John Skandalis but I don't remember the exact incident only that it was a specific incident that caused the rule change.

 

[Wolfie]

Its odd to see a player calling for a HIA on himself. Something is off with Turbo.

 

[Brocko]

Decent contact on Munny there

 

[kman]

I'm sick of these bloody sin bins fucking just getting out of control.

A shoulder to the chin would probably have me in a HIA also

[Wolfie]

I know they have to protect the players, but all these sin bins are getting a bit much now.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Gus Gould is right; the game has become more about the referees and the NRL performing PR for "player welfare" than it is about the actual football.

Munster milked that for all it was worth

[LittleDavey]

That last one on Munster was barely a fraction late. It was a shoulder charge so I'm ok with a penalty but a sin bin?

When they have such a huge impact on the game, they have got to be used more sparingly. This smells like the penalty crackdown a few years ago where the NRL blinked before the players did. Interesting times.

To be fair I think they've been consistent that shoulder causing heavy whiplash is a bin.

But the binnings are getting ridiculous. We used to see a few a month now it feels like every game.

Munster taking a dive for a bump there... he knows if he stays down old mate gets binned ... he jumped straight to his feet when the ref blew time off

And he gets to pass his HIA over HT

The sub was a free interchange as well, because he was sent to the bin.

Surprised he was subbed for Garlic and not doing one of his 2sec subs to rotate the props
