    WATCH: NSW Cup send off sparks scuffle and intense debate
    Phillip Makatoa was left in awful pain after a late shot from Parramatta's Wiremu Greig in the NSW Cup. Did it deserve a send…
    • Thanks for posting this mate. I couldn't reloacte it.

      • No problem 

  • I am trying to re find the video but it has disappeared off my facebook.  It was marginally late, but the refs reason is just laughable.  Jordon Rankin was pleading with him that it is a contact sport.

    • There is a video of the tackle on reddit at r/nrl.

       

  • The tackle had force in it. Really, isn't that the idea?

  • Great hit! Very harsh to be sent off for that, it was only slightly late imo, great tackle!

    • His head is down, wouldn't even realised he passed it.

Trauma snowballing syndrome and the urge to blow things up isn’t just something buried in human DNA. It's now rebranded as “high standards". Forty Years can do that. Sometimes, all it takes is a few minutes. But let’s park the emotion for a minute.…
