It should have been a sending off. I wonder if the same decision would have been reached had it been one of our players who did the same thing to a Goon?

Give over!

As soon as Ratchford realised he had milked the 8 point try he was up and running as if nothing had happened.

If it was any other team none of you would be mentioning in. Bring back the biff!

It's a game for men not little girls it's child's play compared what has happened in the past.

It wasn't a sending off, I wouldn't have given a yellow either. That said it was a crap house act, unneeded. Any suggestion that there was any play acting should take a knee to the side - Farrell knew he would get no change from that, he knew he was solely going in to injure an opponent. If he didn't know that, he's an idiot.

Rule 1: Never like a Farrell.

I am assuming you a referring to the days gone buy when hard men knocked the crap out of each other in the field of play. Not the act of cowardice you witnessed last night after the try had been scored. Canny how similar it was to the act of cowardice he showed in the Grand Final last year.

He is a strange player, I don't really notice a huge amount of aggression in defence from him, but then he does seem to do the odd cheap shot like that. I think an 8 point try was probably sufficient punishment, but can see an argument for a sin binning.

I don't think Ratchford was feigning an injury, you certainly feel it if someone dives knees first into you.

Happens in all games, and with alarming regularity sadly... I can't stand late cheap shots on a try scorer... keep looking, you will see that that is not an isolated incident, and not just us that does it.

I see from other posts that you have a very strange view of the game...as for "milking" you are of course joking. Ratchford reacted straight away to the incident. Milking is what Charnley does every time he is tackled, I hope this assists.

The difference here is if Farrell had been any later he would've got a detention.

We'll see it more if Sam ever gets out of that seat at the dw, and gets back on the field, he was prevot murder for it.

That said, the rumour is there's nothing there below that beard, he's more head than man now.
