Thoughts on Trainer Incident

I personally was surprised that the Cowboys were given the ball after the their trainer interfered with play. I thought the Eels should have been given a penalty and the video ref should have examined if Ado Car could have scored as he's super fast and was definitely in a position to do so. Trainers shouldn't be allowed on the field during play or at least should remain out of the play area

    • I reckon Ado Carr would have definitely scored or at least go very close to scoring. How the Cowboys got the ball from that is unbelievable 

  • Unlike last week with Penrith, this was an accident. I don't believe that any punishment should come of it. 

    However, it has highlighted a bigger issue and one the NRL need to get on top of. That is, the frequency that trainers are on the field. They are no longer there just to attend to injured players or hand out water. They are barking orders to the players from tackle 1 to tackle 5. FFS - this isn't under 6s. Ban trainers from entering the field of play unless there is a stoppage. 

  • What annoyed me also - the two times we were contacted in the air following a kick and nothing.   I actually thought up until this game that this rule was one of the most consistenyl applied rules but that's out the window following our game

    • I'm going to go watch the game back because I miss half those things in run of play and just watching the game takes all my focus lol
