Oh sure. And you league fans say rugby has gone soft?
Don't mess with Melbourne.
What happened?
Two guys going for a grubber on the ground, TV ref decides the raiders player took the other guy out without the ball in a try scoring position. Definitely wasn't clear that was the case, if anything it looked like he was swiping at the ball and came into contact with his legs.

Sounds exactly like the Warriors last night

Really hate how a player can milk a penalty in league just by acting like they’ve been decapitated if they get touched on the neck or head.
If it’s that fucking bad just make the refs call it without making us watch the shit acting.
-
Worst thing is that it was Addo-Carr that made initial contact. And the fact it was a YC just compounded the bad call. Two tackles later and Storm score.

Exactly.
Further proof that the Warriors continuously get butt fudged by the refs and the NRL, who let or more than likely encourage this to happen. -
@Gunner huh that's not the usual impression I get. Seems to be a lot of head/face contact in league that is let go as just part of the game.

Yes you’re right, sorry I didn’t explain myself properly.
Most of the time it is let go, unless a player decides to make something of it and pretend he’s hurt.
I’m surprised the players don’t do it more, as any sort of acting always seems to result in a penalty.Edit, or if they’re not acting and actually hurt, why do the NRL only penalise high tackles if someone gets hurt?
Really highlights the difference between the codes in player welfare doesn’t it?

We’re discussing armchair rides from the refs Not wins. The Storm would be close but the NRL has systems in place so that one team can’t hoard players.

@ACT-Crusader Yeah, for all their dominance they only have 2 premierships under Bellamy to show for it.

Funny how the Roosters rorted the cap when they beat us in the final, but they didn't get stripped of that title
@canefan They're still doing it now.
