Correct

So it was all O'Loughlin's fault that Joel, a guy over 6' tall, got kicked in the head. Thanks for clearing that one up.

Lets say 5ft tall considering he was hunched in the process of getting up, but yes, it was O'loughlins fault, if O'loughlin wasn't on Senior, then he would have been up and playing the ball as opposed to kicking out trying to get up.

Kicking out is Illegal. End of.

Most players when trying to get a penalty when being lied on just try to get up to make a point, not lash their legs out 6 feet in the air and end up kicking someone in the face, if you think otherwise then your as stupid as senior is

WHICH. IS. WHY. YOU. GOT. A. PENALTY. AS. I. STATED. ALREADY.

Christ.

Is it only me who's imagining him shouting and typing it furiously into his keyboard?

No different to how most Wigan fans were typing after Smith went over with a minute or so to go

Touché.

I think the RFL might take a different view this week.

Also, you can't really know the rules can you as you write this;

[i"If he'd looked at him and punted him in the head then sure, fine, send him to the sin bin".[/i

Not a red card ?

Of course it'd be a red card, I was just saying sin bin for the sake of it cause that's what we were debating over.

Really? I don't think they will. It was quite clearly an accident. He was penalized, end of. No other action will come of it IMO.

referees in SL in this day an age need to be more professional. To much inconsistent in the game. For me the refs spoil a decent game,as for the touch judge's well you may aswell not bother.

A couple of points

1. The penalty count with ten or so minutes to go in the game was even, don't know what it was at full time but I'd guess it was still evens - it was high I will grant you that, but both teams were penalised equally - you may have missed the ones that gifted you all of your points.

2. I too like to see teams play hard but fair and if your team have genuinely dropped off that standard in recent weeks then they should do something about it, but please rid yourself of the belief that anything that is mentioned on the Sky Sports commentary is rushed to Red Hall and written into law, for it is not, if it were so then your team would already be the possessors of a Grand Final ring each - Phil Clarke would have made it so.


I do hope that it was just beer that was feeding your paranoia last night...
