Only Manly players can get sent off

[The Who]

Just watched three incidents in the NZ V Faders match which could have resulted in a send-off:
1. Wighton places hands between legs of an opponent and spears him into the ground with intent. Send off? No. Sin-Bin? No. Just a penalty.
2. Murdoch-Masilly deliberately elbows a tackler in the head and insights a melee. Send off? No. Sin-Bin? No. He actually receives a penalty!
3. Rapana shoulder charges an opponent (Egan) in the head, and hurts him. Send off? No. Sin-Bin? No. Nothing to see here. Play on....
Why am I not surprised.
Then Lodge fakes a high shot and the Bunker rules a penalty under the posts. The goal ties up the match and, as per the Faders history, they lose it in golden point.
It would be funny if we weren't so invested in this sport.

Consistency, sadly there’s NONE!!

What about the Lodge extended forearm into CHN head. Blocker was calling for a send off. No, not even a sin bin.

If they're going to make an example of someone it'll be a Manly player. It's always been so.
