referee and NRL double standards

Dear NRL knobs,How is it that Jonathan Thurston can slap a player and use his forearm in a tackle on someone's face while he lying on top of them and nothing more than a penalty is given. In fact the referee said the penalty was given for using a forearm on the face in a tackle...and yet Sandow gets binned for asking a question!!!!The referees have gone mad. The NRL have lost the plot.FFS the NRL are a joke!

  • The one that got me was the punch in the face on Tamou (I think), and Shane Hayne said it was cos he forearmed the ball carrier first. But you get sent if you throw a punch. But you don't get sent if somebody forearms you first? So the trick is just forearm instead of punch and you won't get sent?
    • It's a bloody joke isn't it!
    • I've never understood why when this stupid rule came in the players didn't come out with the attitude of 'if someone throws one everyone make sure you run in and swing one' they can't send every player off
    • Michael they just send the first one. But not the other night? Everyone should just fight with their forearms. It would look piss funny too ;)......
    • Micka not Michael, damn spell check
  • Although I remember bill fukn Harrigan sending 4 parra players to the bin.
  • I remember that game as well Moray Eel,  Harrigan really lost the plot in that game and was never any good as a ref since and when he became head ref and being in charge that was when the refs deteriated and since has always been substandard.

"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.

"With over 100 nrl games in difference with samrani and will P .  I like samrani puts himself in the game and has a physical presence about it. Will has definitely worked on increasing his pace and defence but Samrani not that far behind him now . "
