Sam Hughes sin binned for 10 mins, yet Klemmer goes on report twice in 1 game and is Not sin binned ... i cannot work it out.
It's ridiculous,and getting worse . . . The icing on the cake,was having to check with the bunker to see if a goal was successful . . .3 on field officials couldn't determine if the ball went through the posts, that'll do me

I try not to be biased to our club and look at things from a wider angle but some clubs seem to get the sh#t end of the ref calls most of the time.

Raiders, Warriors and the Bulldogs get most of the bad calls for sure.

Meanwhile there seems to be something in the referees handbook that if you’re unsure just call “penalty Broncos”.

Latrell Mitchell could deadset run someone over with a truck and just get placed on report.

But at least we don’t have Felise Kaufusi or Victor Radley. If they sneeze to loud they’re in the bin!

There doesn't seem to be an element of the fouled player contributing to the tackle type/technique taken into consideration.

ie; Morrin on Murray - Cameron leans heavily forward into the tackler almost tipping himself over and Morrin continues the natural momentum

Hughes on Sualii - Samuel takes an approach to absorb the attackers aggressive running and flings Sualii around with the runners momentum

Very different from players who fly out of the line to put a shot on and get it wrong or the other grubs who pretend to fall onto, into or step on players after a try scoring attempt that you had no chance of effecting a result.

Likewise Klemmer silly cheap shot twice in a row. At least Hughes was involved in a dominant tackle.
I saw it more as a symptom of the way the tackle evolved. It ended with 2 or 3 of our defenders falling on Welch and Sam’s arm was holding him across the shoulders, so when they landed all their weight came down and his forearm ended up in Welch’s face. It wasn’t as if he made a separate movement.

The other one I was trying to remember was Bryce Cartwright. It was a more deliberate action as he just dropped onto an already prone player and hit him with his forearm. Apparently he only was fined for it.

I’m still scratching my head over Latrell Mitchell’s offences against Warriors … elbows to Johnson’s head should of been instant send off & then a worse over the horizontal lift than Morrins & no 10 in the bin .. wtf ?
This is why he acts like a spoiled brat, he often gets away with a lot of grubby sh!t and acts like he’s untouchable

The bunker decision to send Hughes to the bin was another howler. he was only charged to save face.
It wasn't a howler IMO, it was a ploy to sap our momentum. Hughes grabbed Suallii he was trying to run from his left to right side. Hughes grabbed chest to chest and simply kept the momentum from Suallii's run going as he spun to put him on his back. It looked bad, but Suallii stayed down till he got the call he wanted then looked immensely pissed off that he had to go for a HIA.

I've never seen a team cop the number of

If the refs were in a burning bus and I had a fire extinguisher and a pack of marshmallows, I'm not sure how many marshmallows I'd get to eat before emergency services got there to put the fire out. But I wouldn't be paying to have my fire extinguisher recharged for those *****.

Eh? Didn’t Hughes get binned for giving the Melbourne front rower (who’s name escapes me) a supposed face massage with a forearm that was deemed forceful contact to the head by the bunker?

I listened on the radio to this week's game. I'll try to find a replay tomorrow. So I didn't see this incident. I was on the dangerous throw charge from last week.

Should the Papps hit on Chriton be a penalty try. It’s been on replay in my head for days. Please help.

Given it was Stephen Chricton I think we could safely say it would have been a try. So yeah - Penalty try.
If Max King put in the same kick I don't think he would have got there in time.
There needs to be some common sense applied.

In Rugby Union, that’s a penalty try every day of the week. I feel there’s some interpretation of the rules Union gets right and League is off the pace (and vice versa) - but the penalty try scenarios, Union gets it right most of the time.

Yeah I think they’re missing the point.
It’s not a question of if you think he would have scored.
It’s a question of was he denied the chance to score?
If so it’s a penalty try.
There’s too much room for interpretation the other way and too many grey areas…

The sooner the NRL implement a fixed panel for Bunker the inconsistency in decisions will keep happening.

There should be a 5 man Bunker who officiate every game. The same 5 for every game in the round. Made up with 2 Ex players, 2 x Refs and one head of the Bunker. None of them can communicate between themselves. With the head bunker officials decision only being used if the other 4 are split two each.

If something like this was implemented it would take out a lot of the inconsistency and also take out an element of corruption from the game. This part I’m convinced is the reason something like this isn’t in place.

You need a big office at NRL HQ and an attractive secretary

That means there are a lot of differing interpretations in any given round. We have all seen how these guys use that "interpretation" week in week out on field. Just as many in the bunker. Common sense and black and white are foreign concepts for them.
