That was a red card all day long. One of the truly shocking calls.

Sorry but I've got to disagree. It looked worse than it was because Penny span round. However, as Jon Wells just said, there was no direct contact with the head. Penalty and talking to was sufficient, IMHO.

Has Paul Cullen been on the sun bed?

Agree looked a lot worse than it was

But Thaler didnt have the angles we have

[bobbruce]

Not officially they can't although sometimes you'll come across TJs coming onto the field as if they've just thought have something when the only thing that could have happened is a word in the ear or a look at the screen.

That was a red card all day long. One of the truly shocking calls. And given that we've seen some decent 12v13 games in the past few months I'm not buying the 'keep everyone on the field for a good game' as a reason.

But, away from that moment, what a tremendous half of football we've had.

I thought the red could ask and then the VR can look at it. What he can't do is give his opinion without being asked.

[Ullman]

Well I've learnt something tonight. Benji Marshall spent a year in union with the blues.

 

Can't say I'm surprised. Ten minutes does it for me.

And yellow card to Penny for spinning around presumably.

George Rose can't leave. He has a cult following around the NRL.

Love big George

[frank]

Any links for this game?

[JonNgog]

how good was Evans' tackle on Dugan, he looked certain to score

[back to the future]

silly mistakes costing wire

[Padge]

Great game, any other ref but Thaler and that's a red. In the end we were lucky to get a penalty given Thaler claimed the connection was with the shoulder.

We're playing well, two frustrating as hell tries to concede. Terrific advert for the game.

 

Ganson would have given him a red and then when he crossed the touchline called him back and give him another one.

[jannerboyuk]

Brilliant defence! Love a blood and guts game! Almost as good as a championship game!

[MrFussy]

Ashton Simms gloats over the STGI player for knocking on and then knocks on himself! Pride comes before a fall and all that!

[JonNgog]

Sims is a big personality but he needs to hang on to the bleedin' ball

[MrFussy]

Sims is a big personality but he needs to hang on to the bleedin' ball

I'm a big fan of all three of the Simms boys but he behaved poorly there.

[Padge]

Wire are committing suicide

[JonNgog]

Not finding touch from a penalty : the deadliest sin of rugby league?

[JonNgog]

If this isn't a sin bin there is something not right

[RLDave]

Say "player welfare" to Thaler and he'd look at you stupid.

[Keith T]

Why do our referees pander to the Aussies.   Thaler is letting them away with flops every tackle and other things that in a league game he would pull a team up for.

[Padge]

That is ridiculous.

[Guest]

Reffing seems a bit one sided this second half.

[jacksy]

Thinking about future international appointments???

[jannerboyuk]

12-12 what a start to three live games over three days! What's there to moan about?!? C'mon wire!

[jacksy]

As usual aussies seem to get away with murder. Fannying About at PTB ETC ..
