Round 22 discussion *Spoilers

[BAGNF05]

Will Trent Robinson complain in the presser? Or does that only apply when the rules are applied against his team like that.

Clearly barely a high tackle and also incorrect use of the captains challenge. You can challenge a decision but not a non decision. That’s twice this weekend they got it wrong. In the Melbourne game they got an extra challenge because they infringed before what the challenges happened (and they were wrong anyway).

They have just shown everyone what to do. Minor head contact, knock on before playing the ball and you will get the penalty.

Typical roosters favouritism.

Roosters had some pretty bad calls against them too. Was a wobbly night from the referees on both sides

They tend to get the important ones though, there was nothing in that and it’s not what the challenge is there for. Annesley said that earlier in the year.

On how many of our challenges this year have they gone back looking for any incidental head contact in the lead up? None.

Cronk unbearable commentary


You would think he was a Rooster 1 club man....hes become such a fan boy of that club now.

As they all seem to do - look at Fittler & Gould, always gushing over the club. Tedesco will be the same when he retires. Money talks I guess.

The NRL made the rules it's exactly what you want your captain to do when a game is on the line.

Challenge rules need to be changed. Teams should challenge specific things not go back and look at other things, been happening all year. Seen a lot of challenges similar to that where a team challenges a knock on but will get a penalty for an escort or something instead

Ref is supposed to say ‘I’ve ruled a lost ball in the ruck would you like to challenge that Yes/No?

You can’t say, Nah mate but can you go back and look at the tackle in the lead up’

Teams been doing it all year, was going to take an incident like this for the NRL to make a change

If the referees miss a player attacking the head of player and the bunker picks it up in a review then so be it. You can't pick and choose when it's okay to overlook contact to the head because a game is close. Teddy rolled the dice and there was no missing it.

Oh of course we always get the weird calls against us. We are the only team to get penalised for a voluntary tackle in the last decade I swear

His hand hit the ball and the bloke ducks his face towards his arm. Soft penalty.

Like Kevie said “if that decides a GF”

You can't pick and choose though. The captain's challenge highlighted it for sure - but they make the rules and the game was in the balance you do what ever it takes.

They don’t penalise incidental head contact every time though (the crackdown is over) and they don’t go back and look at every tackle in the lead up to the challenged decision all the time. Just seems to be when it’s the Chooks.

Smart call by Teddy I just hope we don’t see it in important games.

But they could only challenge that call because the next player stuffed up the play the ball.

And it was incidental contact to the head not a player attacking the head.

As I said earlier they have now set the blue print for any player who gets slightly tapped in the head. Drop the ball at the play the ball/challenge/penalty.

Unless you’re wearing a roosters or Storm jersey you’ll just lose your challenge ?

Perfect use of the captain's challenge. I don't believe there is any rule about incidental contact to the head, it's just that they miss some. The bunker made this incident obvious so they couldn't ignore it.

You’re right no rule about incidental contact, the ref should have watched that hit and said contact is with the ball / shoulder and no significant head contact, I’ve heard them use that phrasing before, it was absolutely soft.

I hate both teams so end rant haha

LOL reading broncos HQ forum.

The fact that the bunker clear the incident and came back to it because the field ref had to remind them that’s what they challenged on shows that it was incidental and a non-event. The problem is that now ever minor contact can be challenged so long as you knock it on at the play the ball.
