Total joke but just protecting the refs shit calls

Just like the shit call of the Warrior who wasn’t sin binned or penalised in the match for an eye gouge?
Just saying....

Anyway looking forward to today’s games.

Josh Aloiai is one I'll be keeping an eye on today. Scores of 54,54,57 since restart.

The eye gouge would've been difficult to see for the ref or touchies and Latrell made no complaint to the ref but after vision of what COULD be an eye gouge has been seen on review, it is being looked at after the game. Egan likely to face a ban. No one one here is disputing any of this.

I shouldn't need to explain to you how little the two incidents have in common.

Quick one lads, cheers -
Tu - Fogz
Td - Clune

Drinky to Erin Clark is sideways as all bollocks, right?

Egan is getting a week for the eye gouge.

Re Latrell what went in his favour was Fusitua was falling, if Fusitua wasn’t falling it hits him around the chest area, it was unavoidable contact for mine. It’s a contact sport, is he meant to just not try and stop the try? Thankfully the judiciary panel see it the same way I do. If RTS did the same, I’d have no issues with him not being cited.

Cheers bro. Just a failed middy to a risky pseudo-cow leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. Will have some noodles and see if that helps.

Yes. Do you not get that? If the only way he can try and stop the try is to hit a guy in the head - he's not supposed to do it. Jesus fucking Christ.

It doesn’t matter if they’re falling. Lee got penalised for high tackle on Vunivalu when he was nearly on the ground. It’s the responsibility of the defender to ensure they don’t endanger the attacker

No excuse for contact with the eyes under any circumstances.

Young and Burgess both were much more obvious eye gouges AND they had previous eye gouge offences which meant higher loading

I agree with it was a penalty and possible penalty try, I’m not disputing that at all.

THIS.
Love the banter, Rabbits fans talking up Latrell like he's the second-coming, on Thursday night, Broncos fans losing their shit over supposed poor ref calls going against their beloved Donkeys.
Now we just need JWH to do something stupid (again) and the Roosters crowd will rush to his defence.
Keep it up lads.

Exactly right mate. I feel like it’s being scrutinised more as it’s Latrell, if it was say I dunno Jarrod Croker would it be being as heavily scrutinised, the answer for me Matt is I don’t think so mate.
