Touchy Semi?

Posted by Nidge on August 21, 2016 at 4:58pm

I was listening to the game on 2gb today as i am holidaying and couldn't get to the tv. Brohman and Andrew Moore indicated that Semi touched the ref similar to the Frizelle incident. They were saying he should get a week for it. Did anyone see this and if so was there much in it? Curious to know whether the Fox sports knobs were making a song and dance about it or whether it went unnoticed by them??

If rona gets off n he gets a week then NRL can phuck off.

Yep, and it was almost as blatant from Semi as submitting a request for paid leave.
Fiji must be a really good place to be this time of the year.
Maybe there's a pretty girl there he finds any excuse to see

I saw him reach out to pat the ref after arguing his drop ball but the touch was out of camera view on the Fox telecast.

Paul (I could of been an immortal if Parramatta had ruined my football career) Kent will make this personal agenda to make sure Semi gets suspended by incessant rantings on Fox backed up by his side kick Ben ( listen to me I am Wayne Bennett's son in law ) Ikin

Yep, he patted the ref on the back. Pretty dumb from Semi

It's a really simple rule.
Do NOT touch the ref.
Players who do so and get suspended as a result should get penalised for that portion (1\26 per week missed) of their salary.
I bet they would start to remember the rule then.
It's not accidental, it's not negligent, it's just outright stupidity from the dopey Kent's.

Semi definitely touched the ref, was to acknowledge the refs decision though.. The rules were broken for the wanker Hayne so there is no way semi gets a week for this one! On another note French also ran in to the ref in the first half, he was trying to evade him though.

  Didn't see it but if what from everyone's saying here, it was intentional and a better comparison to Fizs one earlier in the year. Haynes was not intentional. The ref didn't have his reverse lights on in that.
