I think he had to go as he was always going to tackle him regardless

 

[Porthoz]

Have no issues with it. He went on with it well after he kicked the ball, and he gave it away too, by putting his hands up after he had brought Merritt down.

 

[Morkel]

anyone else think Slaters sin-bin was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay unjustified? just watching the highlights again and he tackled him maybe a quarter to half a second after he kicked it. when youre chasing someone down from behind i think its a bit rough to not only penalise but sin bin for that.

I think the problem was that Slater kept a hold of him during the slide. If he'd tackled him & then released him immediately it'd be let go, but Slater intentionally held on and impeded him well after the kick & initial contact.

He prevented a try by committing a professional foul. There's no way he should've been kept on the field, the fact that there was only 3 minutes left made it an easy decision anyway. Does he miss the first 7 minutes of the next game he plays? Because he should.

LOL Spwn, your hate for anything Storm is only equaled by AP's love for them. :laugh:

if that was a professional foul then there should be about 50 sin bins a match.

 

[Kimlo]

At the time in the context of a game I think a sin bin was appropriate. Its like when someone makes a break and the defender holds too long. In those situations it's always been a sin bin.

All that being said I seriously think a 5 min sin bin should be introduced.
