Same amount of force mate. Bit of a tap on the face. Was TDS actually and probably worse given the other tackle was on a falling player, ao had mitigating circumstances.
 
Just on LL's sin-bin; clearly the injury decided the punishment there?

The explanation was an act with a high risk of injury - so you're now saying every tackle in the air should be a sin-bin?

Very unfortunate and wish Simonsson a speedy recovery, but that's no sin-bin unless they all are now.

4. Douiie
5. Tavana / Turuva

Hard to drop Tino and Turuva defended well but bombed second half try.

Disagree they were up against it. I don't agree with the sin bin and it was undoubtedly the biggest call of the game but outside of that I thought we got the overwhelming majority of decisions fall our way. Eels had players dropping left right and centre and were forced into multiple reshuffles of their backline. If anything I would argue Eels were up against it.
Yes the bin was a big and in my opinion poor call. But need to react better to adversity. We were running downhill before it so can't blame being gassed during that 10 minutes. It was one reshuffle to the backline for 10 minutes compared to the 4 different ones they had to make.

I think it was fair. If it happened to us, we'd expect the same. They always say injury shouldn't be a factor, but they lost a player for the match.

Maybe with the 6 man bench you could argue differently.

One of the things I wished for over the past few years was to have a squad who hurt their opposition. I want teams to go “damn, the Tigers game is next”. It seems we are getting there. The Eels got smashed today physically.

Yeah man, you and me both.
Been asking for this for years.

Win, lose or draw... we make our presence felt.
This was it today.

They were dropping like flies.

Russell, he kinda knocked himself out.
JAC, he'll have sore ribs for weeks now.
Bailey, that was ugly... wow. Poor guy.
Moses and Pezet copped some damage.
So did the hooker, Smith - he looked dusty.

Hard game for them.

Actually realised they scored more trys then us. Like to unable to tear apart a team with 3 injuries in the backs . Plus Moses was clearly hampered by injury we should won comfortably
