Watching the game now - Twice - 2 incidents that required yellow cards.

What do England gain from having these "on report". Zilch. Same last week vs Aus.

Time for "on report" to be binned and replaced with the ref looking at the video AT THE TIME.

Pathetic imo.

+1... Refs to be fitted with balls...

Isaac Luke is probably our new #22.

I asked this question last week after the Australia game for when Tony Williams high tackle which was put on report. It's frustrating as England do not gain any advantage for a player being put on report, advantage goes to the team they play the week after as the player is probably banned.

I think it is time for the report system to be binned, or its a automatic yellow card if an incident is put on report.

Been very disappointed by these NRL refs. No wonder they need two of the buggers on the pitch!

The elbow drop on tomkins after the high tackle was totally unacceptable, the deliberate attempt on chase to injure his knee was even worce

Zero respect for NZ right now, same for the ref there was definitely coaches orders to injure tomkins at all costs, i dont think they cared if they got caught as the referees from nz/aus would never send each other players off

Yeah, they were a dirty set of eejits and i was so glad the English done them! Hopefully there will be some kind of punishment for those aforementioned incidents! i doubt it though! serves the Kiwi's right for their irritating pre match impressions of the inhabitants of a Celt*c supporters bus i saw at the traffic lights a few years back in Glasgow.. Dirty fools!!

Thankfully their dirty play didnt benefit them

Rugby League has led the world of sport in introducing new technology which others followed. When a referee says he didnt see the incident correctly and puts a person on report, the video ref shoud be given the opportunity to punish or refer up, those 3 incidents were pretty straight forward and 2 yellows and a red would have been obvious.

What confuses me is after Luke wrenched Chase's knee, the Referee brought him over and said "you intended to hurt the player in the tackle" - surely if there is intent then it is at least a sin-binning?

As for Jeremy Smith, he could see that Sam had taken a high shot and gone down as a result so to drop an elbow like that is disgusting. We do not want that behaviour in our game. Should have been a straight red card and a 3 match ban.

There was an incident in the 2nd half when a NZ player rolled Jack Reed, then Benji Marshall was complaining that Reed hadn't played the ball quick enough and the ref said "We both know why he didn't play the ball straight away". So again, he's seen an incident and notdone anything about it.

Very poor reffing display today with lots of spoiling and dangerous incidents going unpunished.

I think our refs are great now after watching the clowns they have put in charge of the Aus match and tonight against NZ.

Just what does a player have to do to get sent off ?

We saw last year how many incidents that weren't put on report were pulled up anyway when the disciplanary had a look at video replays, so I dont really understand why we need it. Most of the incidents that are flagged up "on report" during a game should probably be dealt with by the referee at the time. The team the club are playing at the time should receive an advantage if a serious foul is committed against them, not a ban given a week later.

Both of the aforementioned incidents tonight should have been cards, the forearm on Tomkins was at least a sin-binning and Luke should have walked, our games tough enough without players maliciously and deliberately trying to twist an opponents limbs.
