Was a penalty but no more.
Ruined the gane that decision. Player wasn't injured, yes was a late hit, but that happens in heat of battle.
As others said, at least 4-5 more hits like that in this game.......

How many times have you seen a player with concussion play the ball incorrectly and get penalised? In such circumstances it may be better if the referee told the player to play the ball again rather than penalising him.

One thing the referees seem to have forgotten about is the late flop. Two players already completed the tackle and a third falls on top. Most teams are doing it, you can see it is being coached and needs to be stopped.

I was not contradicting myself at all , just pointing out that it was a better effort to play the ball than some others on the night . You take it with Kendall please as i have no wish to speak to him . Thanks in advance .

I’d prefer that, ref makes them play the ball and waits till defenders are set. Same with moving forward off the mark just make them step back and play it again, we starting policing this a few years ago and it soon stopped.

Yep just totalling ignored nowadays. Some of us just want to see the rules of the game applied properly and consistently, not pedantically, but a decrease in intolerance if the basic rules.
