Tyrone Peachey's tombstone on Adam Blair

[Nashy]

It shouldn't have been a sin bin. It should have been a send off.

 

[subsbligh]

Given it happened after the ball was clearly 3-4 seconds dead, it should be judged in the same category as a king hit off the ball.

But no punch was thrown so no sin-bin, clearly best outcome.

 

[subsbligh]

5 minute sin bin at least for tackles on report.

5 minute sin bin at least for tackles on report.

Slippery slope there as all head highs tend to go on report.

Plus the refs are too gutless to send anyone unless a punch is thrown these days.

Does anyone recall whether or that tackle was mentioned in the press conference? I know in the Panthers presser they only wanted to talk about following the rule book when it suits then. (Moylan taking it dead.)

Wasn't mentioned.

Cleary made a big song and dance about the Moylan, ball going dead thing, though. The ruling was correct and he admitted so, but went on to say it was a strange time to highlight the rule at a crucial time in a big game. LOL.

That might be kind of the point. They changed the rules so the video ref can only over-rule if a foul play is deemed worthy of going on report. Subsequently the refs have now been deeming stuff worthy of a penalty, and therefore putting them on a report to justify the penalty. You'd think if a mandatory 5 minute bin was attached to anything on report, they'd be much more hesitant to blow a penalty. You could argue that the ultimate benefit would be not many get put on report, therefore less diving.

Nah, it was all Soward.

Soward: [inaudible]. It's on report.
Ref: Can you get him to come out here mate
Soward: It's on report.

Tyrone walks over.

Soward: Penalty on report. It has to be.

Can't remember the last time a captain argued so strongly that his player should be on report. You don't do that unless you think the consequences should be worse.

That inaudible part (I have severe tinnitus and can even hear what he said) was Soward saying it was the same type of tackle as last week, he was only arguing precedence it should only be penalty on report because a similar tackle didn't get a send off. He wasn't being gracefull of sportsman like.

Last weekend the video ref stopped calling high shots unless it was intentional. Great to see and it might stop at few lying down

Bennet was asked if Blair was ok and he replied something along the lines of "yeah he's fine"

 

[Splinter]

Apart from Sam no one has put their hand up to take Blairs spot. Wallace was given a go in one match but was slightly of the pace starting, Gavet and Dodds have injuries curtailing their chance and Garbutt did nothing spectacular in his time.
If Dodds can get some time on the field I would like to see him start with McGuire

Peachey only gets 2 - 3 weeks....what a joke....spear tackle after the whistle.....N(SW)RL protecting Sydney based filth again....

 

[Battler]

What a disgrace that he only gets a week more than McQuire...

 

[ivanhungryjak]

I would love to hear their reasoning as to how they came up with this grading.

McQuire :lol:

 

[Kimlo]

So Jordan McLean got 8 weeks and Peachey gets two weeks. What an absolute joke.

Someone get the Toovey picture in this thread please.
