Double Standards

Posted by Prof. Daz on September 27, 2026 at 5:01pm

Cleary's ankle broken in preliminary final, with foul play (hip drop tackle). Stretchered off. Ref sends the Knight off because of extreme risk/damage.

Simmonson's ankle broken in Round 5, with foul play (mid air tackle). Stretchered off. Ref sends the Tiger to the sin bin for 10 mins, after telling bunker "it looks bad". 

Luckily there is not a double standard where some teams are take care of and others have to fend for themselves. Sarcasm emoji's galore. 

Double standard or the new standard?

"It's not a flaw, it's just how MVP awards work in team sports. The Dally M's measures who dominated that specific match, not who the best overall player is. If Cleary shares the load with two other origin stars who were just as good in an 80 minute…"
