Walsh and Brown must know the procedure pretty well I would imagineThere's three others from last weekend that will also be heard then if the players don't plead early....

AgreedI dont understand why the walsh one isnt ruled as a penalty try? someone is gonna score and the only way to stop them is to break the rules- if he doesnt shoulder charge him he scores so why dont they rule that as a penalty try?

Well I disagree that he could've stopped that try any other way- was gonna score 100% imo.I would suppose it is the same as if a player is tripped when chasing a grubber, it isn't always a penalty try because the fullback might be back there or something and so the refs can't say for sure that it would have been a try if not for the trip
In this case, regardless of the tackle Walsh still made it there in time to stop it, so if it wasn't a shoulder charge, it can't be said for sure it would be a try, especially in the corner like that.
Not sure if that is what is in the rule book but I agree with not giving a penalty try, though it should have 100% have been 10 in the bin imo. Was it not because it is pretty boy Walsh, or because it was in Vegas?? I'd say the latter but still a bit of both lol
There was an incident in a Warriors v Roosters game quite a few years back (a game in the post season) where a PT was awarded to the Warriors and in explanation (Harrigan if I recall correctly) said that you assessed the likelihood of a try as if the offender was not there at all (beam me up Scotty principle).Well I disagree that he could've stopped that try any other way- was gonna score 100% imo.
However the fact u see it the other way suggests there is some grey area I suppose...
That is “cruel “ in relation to Leniu who must be shitting himself wondering what the outcome might be.Next tuesday after the full round 1 games.

IMO and nothing to do with the rule book.There was an incident in a Warriors v Roosters game quite a few years back (a game in the post season) where a PT was awarded to the Warriors and in explanation (Harrigan if I recall correctly) said that you assessed the likelihood of a try as if the offender was not there at all (beam me up Scotty principle).
I’ve seen nothing to suggest that the rules have changed since then but Ref might be able to comment
The other code thinks differentlyI have never given a penalty try and a sin bin unless it is foul play.
You can’t penalise a team twice for one offence.
Roosters and Uncle Nick will be scrambling trying to broker a 3-test series for Samoa vs anyone so they can count those games in whatever Leniu gets banned forThat is “cruel “ in relation to Leniu who must be shitting himself wondering what the outcome might be.
nah fuck him.That is “cruel “ in relation to Leniu who must be shitting himself wondering what the outcome might be.
Its a very roosters thing to do. Flash your wallet at the best impact bench forward in the game and try and turn him into a starter.Is it true that he's only started in a small percentage of his NRL games?
Maybe Ivan knew he couldn't leave Spencer on the field for too long.
So if someone gets called a “peanut” they can complain if their dad died of a peanut allergy?
Get a fucking grip. The pandering to people’s sensitivities is raising a generation of people who are incapable of living in the real world.
Definitely not, it’s all part of the game….in almost any sport.I wouldn't ban sledging I'd just say either be good at it or stay quiet
