Won’t let me vote, I want either the Raiders or Bunnies to win it. Anyone but the roosters for me and their salary sombrero when everyone else had a salary cap.

Should that not be Benjamin Cummins ?

No. Judas Cummins.

There you go - for everyone who claims that the NRL is the paragon of officiating, two howlers that have directly affected the outcome of a massive game. Not a good look.

Only one howler, the decision when the ball hit the trainer is the correct one under the laws of the game. Morraly wrong maybe but correct

Yep.

Though maybe time for the sport to look again at trainers etc on the pitch. At one point a trainer for Sydney was on the pitch for an entire set.

Also at the “injuries” when a goal line drop out or attacking scrum is about to take place.

Unfortunately we’re at the stage where we can’t trust the players morality (I make no judgement on whether that’s a bad thing or not) in terms of faking injuries. So maybe we should follow footballs example to a degree. If play is stopped and a player requires treatment that delays the restart of play then maybe they should have to go off the field and miss the next set before they can come back on. Might deter some of the fake injuries we see at drop outs especially.
