well then we could have this discussion every week about every game on most decisions, seen as it goes on constantly.

would the ref have seen/and given the penalty? we will never know, as it was only given when the ball was passed into the wakefield player.

i'm not disagreeing with you. i don't like to see unsporting behaviour. but in the laws of the game, as it stands, its not wrong, otherwise it would be penalised.

anyway, good luck for the rest of the season. i think you will go pretty good this season. you seem to have a strong squad

I thought that Ganson was in favour of the 'unsporting conduct' last week, this week he aint. No wonder we can't get consistency from referees.

Voila!

He kicked more than one penalty from a deliberate play the ball onto a defender didn't he

And neither were as blatant as the Josh Jones example, which seems to have been the catalyst for this contrary announcement - that directly contradicts Ganson's initial support for Childs' decision.

I'm glad they've provided clarity - and I hope the execution of it is handled properly and consistently; and bigger picture, get out of the habit of defending a referee decision as a default position - supporters would respect the process more, if they'd been honest and said "yes, that was against the spirit of the game and Mr Child should have penalised it."
