@Goose said:Yeah unlucky for sure.
The fact that it seems (and almost certainly is) as if Simms intentionally kicked the ball in Rankin's general direction seems like it should be a indiscretion of some sorts.
It was crucial without doubt.
That said, Im not sure what should have happened.

The Fox Boys had a talking point after that incident and said we were hard done
In cricket when a fielder is about to take a catch the batman cant say "drop it", why does Simms get away with intentionally kicking the ball in the direction of the player about to take a catch ..
Its beyond me how nothing came of it and they got a try at the end of that mistake :frowning:

Tony Archer has said he was fine with the call and that we actually were advantaged with getting a dropout. He said the correct call should've been a scrum to Newcastle 10 metres out.

So he was fine with the call but it was an incorrect call. He's setting some high standards.

Is this related at all to how the "attacking" team is defined in the rules?
I believe under the rules the attacking team is determined by field position rather than possession of the ball?
e.g. If you kick the ball into the referee it's a scrum to the attacking team,
So in theory on last tackle in the opp half just belt the ball into the ref and it should be 6 again…
In relation to the infringement of a 2nd ball, the scrum would go to the attacking team.. which is Newcastle.
But I'm not exactly an NRL Referee

What happened to "the first infringement" which was Sims deliberately kicking the into Rankin. Regardless of whether Rankin knocks on, grounds the ball in goal or Uate scoring a try - it should go back to the first infringement. Sheesh! Badger.
What does that make it 4 from 16 games under him now?
