They got it right. If the first player drops off before the second makes contact it's fair game.

He didn't run directly into him. You are the one needing the glasses. He overran the ball and then Austin played it well and ran into him because he was in the way.

No it isn't. Cummins penalised Tapine for the same thing a few weeks ago and a Parra player got penalised for the same thing a few weeks later. The rule is once a player is shrugged off that is counted as being 2 in the tackle. It's a dumb rule but that is exactly what it is. Cummins explained it to Canberra like that.

Really? I thought he has been exceptional today. The commentators can't stop raving about him

I didn't see the other times, but if that's what happened they were wrong. Regardless of what happened last time, today was 100% correct.
If 2 are in the tackle and one drops off, it's a penalty. If they touch the player at different times, such as the Mitchell try, it's play on.

This is what confuses people. Lol there was just one then that is similar. I don't get what difference it makes.

There it is.
A poor kick from Luke Brooks gave Penrith a nice roll on and finally they give the ball to Cartwright, exploit Brooks on the fringe and score a nice try to seal the result.
They did it the tough way Penrith, but they were just too strong across the park for Wests.

That pass from Wallace seems like a fitting note to end the game on.
In the end, the scoreline ended up how it should have been, but it was typical Penrith/Hook. Do everything but score, invite the opposition back into the game and hope to god they grant you some opportunities at the death to redeem your performance. It'll be enough to get them into 8th but gee Penrith have to step it up next year if they want to be considered a genuine force.
Wests' had their moments but they were either outclassed or let themselves down with poor errors. On the brightside, the likes of Lolohea, Marsters, Twal and Eisenhuth are showing promising signs. If they can groom these players and surround them with a marquee signing there's no reason why they can't mix it with the top teams in 2019.

The dive from Eisenhuth was unnecessary, all he had to do was push Wallace and that would have been enough. The dive just colours everybody's perception of the incident. Wallace can't loiter in the defensive line, end of story.

Well I guess it's one 2-man tackle vs two 1-man tackles.
