That just highlights a flaw in the system IMO.
If the incident is bad enough to warrant a sin bin, how do you escape suspension and just cop a fine?
The incident wasn't bad enough to warrant a sin bin, is the correct answer. Flegs' wasn't that bad either, I've seen plenty worse let go over the past couple weeks - and I've been watching closely since the Warrior's game, too.
I hope that try to TMM helps give him more confidence. He was always going to get there, no need to try and pass. While that thought is GREAT, very selfless, the more time he spends in the NRL again, the more confidence he will build in his own ability again. He was an explosive, exciting player before he had his stint out, honestly for all the good he's done I don't believe we've even scratched the surface of what he's capable of yet. Buy of the year with Reyno for mine, and so stoked to see what he can do for us in future.
I need to again note the reffing, particularly in that first half. Beyond atrocious, honestly. The tackle where Gamble was on the mark, Titans were metres in front of him and the ref let it go (though the second time called them back). The Riki bin for a tackle which in real time was literally half a second after he passed the ball. Wallace holding Jensen up after being specifically called out by the ref as offside yet it's only a penalty. There were more but those are the ones I clearly remember. Titans got every single 50/50 in that first half, NOT balanced out by their two binnings because they were both blatant and well-deserved. It feels silly to ask if the ref was under instruction to go out and take us down a couple of pegs, get the Titans into the game to manufacture a derby...
but if he was, would he have called that half any differently? It's disgusting.
Mam was also outstanding. He still came up in defence a few times, which was worrying, but I've no doubt Capes will pull him into line. He looks special. Real headache on Kevvie's hands when Adam comes back, but IMO Tyson deserves his spot. Mam should be sent back to Cup with instructions from the coaching staff on what to improve on, but geez he's not far off being ready is he?
) he is one of the most useful contributors on this forum. The guy or girl or whatever it is, adds so much content to this place.
