Being an apologist! Not every high shot is put on report! His shoes that are seen should and will be penalised, think the important word there us if seen.
the Garside incident could not be missed, and he game was stopped, and he tackled player went off injured.
Not sure how that's anything to do with consistency or double standards.

the Sammut high tackle was not missed. It was on the try line and the game was stopped for quiet a while. IT was against Bradford

Well if it was not penalised it was either missed or not an illegal tackle. I genuinely can't recall the incident you are talking about

Indeed.... the ref bottled it right in front of the baying Bradford fans. FACT!

Good pictures,.
What was the outcome, dud we score from it? Where on the field was it?

Re: Injuries : Thu Mar 16, 2017 9:48 pm  

Can't argue with the pictures but unless you are looking through the Refs eyes you can't say if he saw it or not. Why do you say bottled if though?

Re: Injuries : Thu Mar 16, 2017 9:58 pm  

Thing us it either wasn't seen or as seen from the pictures wrongly not penalised, the Garside incident was deemed as an illegal tackle at the time probably driven by the injury, trust me it was nothing to do with crowd influence, the on report is not a punishment, it is "there is a doubt have a look" with the correct outcome in the end with no charge.

As I said previously it was on the try line and should have been a penalty try and a sin binning. The ref was the only person in the ground not to see it. In discussion with Bradford fans in the bar after the game they were gob smacked they got away with it. It was a bad high tackle which went unpunished by the ref and the disciplinary panel. Like I said earlier respect demands respect and this ref showed no care or compassion whatsoever towards Sammut in that tackle and the idiot even waved the touch judge away.

You could not award a penalty try for that!

Re: Injuries : Fri Mar 17, 2017 11:23 am  

That picture also shows it is nowhere near the try line. Even if it was on the try line a penalty try can only be awarded if in the opinion of the officials a try was a certain outcome had the offence not been committed, in that case shown 2 in the tackle and too far from the line
