Round 11 SPOILERS

What do you guys reckon about the Napa hit?

I reckon he did lead with the head and it was reckless. He leans and rises far too high, only ever made contact with the opponent's head; if it was his arm, he'd have been in trouble too. That whole set was full of Roosters guys trying to launch themselves in the tackle.

Considering a guy can be binned now for backing through the ruck or being offside a 3rd time, I can't see how so many people are complaining that Napa got binned for a dangerous action.

I'm sure he didn't intend it, but that's not the point, and how were the Broncos having to field one less bloke because Napa's head is like a scud missile?

They've shown no balls in then not suspending him afterwards, takes away all the credit of the referees trying to penalise safer play.

Refs got it wrong …
Nothing in it .

Except the fact he lead with his head until his head came into contact with the face of the victim.
 
I thought Napas head butt was intentional though no way of proving it… The guy is a grub and loose as, though that's not anything to go by... He did make contact with sims' head.... Penalty worthy and on report... Worth a careless Charge imo maybe not a binning, but they're almost making out it was partly sims fault as he steoped into it or some BS
Robinson had a LOT to say about it afterwards when usually they say little til after the MRC determine charges
 
How good was the Curtis Scott scrap with Dylan Walker…
Punches looked weak but Walker got a ugly shiner 😂
 
Napa brought to us by the Nate Myles School of wouldn't have happened if he didn't duck his head and the Number 10…

Don't know about intentional..thought he just launched himself for a massive hit and it was a head clash maybe careless...the head is in front of your shoulders bio mechanically..

If it was one of our guys ala Simon Dwyer we'd be cheering..Anyhow Penalty Broncos..

Look maybe we **just need to ask the refs who the Top 8 , Top 4 and premiers will be each season**

Just had to nick out to BCF and the ABC Grandstand blokes are just blowing up , missed the two sin binnings

I'm heading towards this point of view. I can't remember a season as farcical as this in the refereeing stakes. Maybe it's the NRS's 'enforce everything' position this season, after years of coaches manipulating the rules and getting away with it, that is leaving ref's, coaches and players confused. I'm glad the NRL cracking down because it had to happen but until they have it sorted across the board it is going to look really ugly…......... and boring

But they stopped enforcing everything after about 5 weeks. Now they only enforce when a team is attacking, and after a few penalties they then issue the "official warning" which seems to mean anything from if you give another penalty while defending the line, we might randomly send someone to the bin, through to if you give away a penalty 5 mins later and 50m downfield, we reserve the right to send you to the bin if we so desire (last night).

Referees will make the odd mistake, but with some of these game changing decisions, they need to be consistent and at the moment, they aren't.

Left field but does anyone think it's a modified shoulder charge

I agree, but the refs are damned if they do and/or if they don't at the moment. As I said in my first post, I think everybody is confused and the refs are copping it from everyone for trying to clean up the mess. They are piggy in the middle and will be until they sort the penalty legacy that has been allowed to develop. I see it as just too many directions to look at, at once. I think they would be more effective if they had a weekly briefing and all agreed to focus on a few entrenched breaches each week.

Respectfully completely disagree.
It's actually really not hard to enforce a ten, be consistent, penalise for blatant breaches and be unbiased. Errors we'll cop, but blatant cheating isnt.
 
Can’t believe so many people are accusing the refs of being cheats. They are doing the best job they can and yep have made some bad/incorrect calls but to say they are cheating for a desired result is off the mark.

Almost every team has suffered a call that felt was unfair this season so they can’t be cheating for everyone

I wouldn't say the refs are cheating, but it definitely appears there is a bias. To me that's pretty much the same as cheating. Not refereeing fairly.

Not a new thing though.

I feel asleep during the first half of this game but Curtis Scott sacrificed himself for entertainment last night.

Wonder how many weeks he will have to sit out.

I can deal with them enforcing the rules

But in the space of 90 seconds in the Cowboys -Souths game they miss 4 players all offside all within the 10 metres when Feldt drops the short drop out

And then go 80 metres downfield and catch Granville offside

My point is this , if the refs are this bad , the game has a massive problem

My issue is I don't think they are that bad , they miss stuff and then hope that results fall a particular way

You could cop it if they explained post game or on their own show on Fox why particular decisions were made

Show would rate very well too imo , most would watch to find out why

If they make a mistake admit to it , gain some credibility that way

Mistakes happen , none of us are perfect , but at least if you own your mistakes and show accountability people can deal with it

True ??
