The leg made contact with him. It's physics Where else can the leg go and where was there any malice on the leg? Curran only had eyes on the ball. That's why she chased him...

And how did that help us for the illegal action? Did that stop makasini leaving the field? Was there a penalty? Was there a sin bin?
Nope

Exactly. Ref's not there when they should. The Csnterbury captain never gets sin binned nor the player next to him - that would be guilty by association. It's not the first time right.
MRC.can charge players for incidents that may be missed during games

Damn. This is getting worse. So what happened with Radley... no Report no MRC...
Intent is completely irrelevant. If you make contact with the kickers leg it’s a penalty. It’s very black and white.
You don’t have to like the rule, but there’s no argument against it being the correct call.

When it happens to us... hope you will keep that smile on your dial.....
Ridiculous......
His leg got in the way of his pursuit... otherwise Bula would of caught him..

Were you not one of the people I was saying this to with regards to hip drops?

I've got two good mates who are Doggies supporters, so the banter last night was fun.
Suggested to them that Curran was lucky to stay on the field.

Makasini passing to Skelton for the try imo is a sign of a mature and unselfish footballer. It would have been easy for him to attempt to score himself but he didn't. That was a wonderful display of a team player.
It has happened to us and I hated it. That doesn’t change the rule.

What damn rules??????
You agree with every 6 again interpretation of the rules?
It's how it is in the moment....
A fair try.... therefore the rules don't make sense..... more like DEi.
I don’t know how many more ways I can explain a black and white rule.
Also how are you so fired up about this? You lose a sports bet or something?

Can we buy the Ref a Bulldogs jersey next time?
Seriously I would go up to the ref after the game and offer to pay them a season membership if they keep doing this garbage.
At least put the sponsors on their uniform!

Sounds like were getting into the Multiverse of NRL rule interpritation...
There must be a Multiverse where we win the grand final in 2011.

"Intent" is just a word they use to determine who they want to apply the rules to. How does one determine what a players intent was?
I keep coming back to that tackle from Crichton on Setu Tu in Round 1.
Whether the intent was there or not, Chrichton should of been sent to the bin or had 1-2 weeks on the sideline. He got away with a similar shot which ruled Taylan May out for the game (and I think 1 extra match).
Reece Walsh slipped in the tackle when Joseph Sualili took him out - there was no intent to take his head off, if Walsh doesn't slip, its one of the all time great SOO big hits. Sualili was sent off and received 4 weeks. Crichton hasn't even been sin-binned let alone received a suspension.
A lot of these issues could be easily fixed but are not.
The NRL isn't just the top tier of professional Rugby League, it's a TV production. It's in the NRL's best interest for there to be drama every week; if there wasn't there'd be a lot less to talk about. So the NRL will keep it the way it is, with the drama, because the net result is $$.

When I first saw it, I was like "try"
Now looking from one camera angle: https://www.nrl.com/news/2026/05/30/wests-tigers-v-bulldogs--round-13-2026/ 2:30 - 2:35
Bula gets an "arm" underneath. The front of the ball is high, but the back seems tucked into Josh Curran's arm. I can't see if the bottom of the ball touches the ground or not.
IMHO benefit of the doubt.
Seriously that was an awesome try attempt from Josh Curran. Josh is a real Rocks n Diamonds player but to outrun Luai and beat Bula is something.
