What happened to Send Off

[_G-Dog_]

Refs and games gone soft

We were denied a clear try scoring opportunity and lose our halfback to blatant foul play

We get the same result as when the opposition are offside

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Scared to make the big call. Last line of defence and illegally takes out a player along with almost ripping his head off while leaving the ground. Simple really.

 

[Indiandog]

was never a send off offence, mbye made it look really bad tbh.

it looked bad on replay, but the tigers player didnt even have a closed fist.

 

[KiwiDog7]

5 min sin bin should be brought back

 

[Bad Billy]

Bill Harrigan said on MMM that he would've pointed to the sheds before mbye hit the ground.

 

[top-dog]

It's dead and buried u have to kill the player to get sent off what a joke the NRL are

As you should, one of the most obvious send offs in years.

 

[Baby Blues]

What if Mbye couldn't come back? They set a dangerous precedent here. If that happened to Thurston in a grand final and he couldn't come back we'd never hear the end of it.

so you can coat hanger a player, get em round the head with a swinging forearm and knock em out, but as long the fist isn't closed then thats all that matters? pfft. that'll do me.

i am going by how NRL interprets it.

going by the NRL past rulings, open hand high arm is considered less harmful than closed fist high arm,

Billy Cole would've only got put on report.

yeah ok fair enough. but its a stupid rule imo. just like the shoulder charge rule where as long as theres even a tiny bit of separation, its ok to hit a player with a good shot. but as soon as your arm is by the side, with the same amount of impact, its a reportable offence.

The rule is a joke if that was our player he would be sent off immediately and got 6 weeks for that

 

[Kila R Ralai]

What an absolute joke, the refs have become too lame to make big calls.

 

[Interestingg]

It was a worse hit than the one Matt Utai got sent off for in 2006. It's a send off every day of the week

 

[pillow]

If the female touch judge was the main ref, she would have had to balls to march Justin ****

 

[BootS]

Never a send off. 40 meters out, no intent, no malice, just an accidental out stretched arm.

Looked worse then it was.

Penalty and on report was sufficient.

 

[Chris Harding]

On refection, not a send off. Had Mbye been carried off, maybe he would have followed. As it is, the next team the Tigers play gets the advantage.

 

[COVENS]

Perfect incident for a 5 minute bin

True... It was extremely careless, he could have outstretched that arm anywhere else at Mbye's body, but he caught him dead around the throat? The sin bin needs to be reviewed - Moses went off, we got a penalty...but Hunt was free to play on in that time?

The whole sin bin only for 'professional fouls' issue needs to be overhauled
