Hayne arm grab

Any ideas why he does it?I have never seem him get away with it. Each time he is penalised.In my opinion if he does not do it Sandow does not get sent off and we are still in the game. We may have defended that set and scored ourselves.

  • that one in particular the storm
    dummy half went a metre
    backwards before passing before
    hayne knocked it - he had time to get to him
  • For mine it was a poor call by the referee, as Coco points out the dummy half for Melbourne held the ball for an age before Hayne played at it, I was actually thinking geez whats that dummy half doing someone should tackle him.

     

    There is no way Hayne was offside in playing at that ball and it should have been play on, but again the refs are brainless and their immediate reaction to anything out of the ordinary is to blow a penalty. Hayne is too footy smart for even the refs.

    • Mate it doesn’t take much intelligence to out smart an NRL ref.

    • refs are not footy smart- most haven't played a game since under 6's.
    • Hit the nail on the head Michael. Anything out of the ordinary is frowned upon by refs - Hence why there is no pushing in scrums
  • Surely once the ball clears the ruck, which happens when dummy half has the ball, any play is legitimate, as long as marker square, so cannot understand why ref blows penalty irrespective of who makes the play .

  • I don't get it as well, if there is no dummy half when the ball is played it's cleared the ruck and you're entitled to dive on it, so why can't you grab the hookers arm as soon as he picks the ball up, when you're on e line. I have no idea why the penalty was given.

"Other way round if it were to be. Penisini is too slow for the wing. 
Wouldnt drop Simo. His hit ups are good and he works hard.
Anyway..Samrani 1st drop for injuries or suspensions. Not bog average Brian Kelly.
