You can`t see any difference between the two ?
One is a direct aggression towards the central referee grabbing his shirt . Luai touched the side line official incidentally and immediately apologised .

I dislike Luai as much as most . But it was nothing like what Sam did .

There's a difference, but Thaiday was demonstrating what happened to him in the scrum. Luai pushes the touchie out of the way to get to his team mate, nothing incidental about it. The second touch was also completely unnecessary but had more in common with the Thaiday incident.

Everyone’s twisting the NRLs own inconsistencies back in them now. It seems to be fair game calling out other incidences to protect your players.

How did the NRL allow themselves to get into this position where every week the biggest talking points are refs/ bunker calls?

Thats not an inconsistency, thats old man Bennett being a ****head.

It’s every coach after every game now complaining.

Surprised the NRL isn’t fining them to shut them up because it’s like a flood now about hip drops or head highs or leading with the head, etc.

Seriously. Comparing a swinging arm to an accidental touch is ****ing embarrassing.

I think that incident didn’t even deserve a fine. The linesman accidentally got between the player and the try scorer and Luai accidentally ran into him and then did the right thing by apologising. There was no anger or intent behind the touch.

Problem is the NRL has made themselves a target with their inconsistencies so that it’s now open season to call out decisions. The system has currently lost its integrity.

I know people have their gripes with the officiating and the "un even" nature of the draw. But im absolutley loving how tight the competition is this year.

Its genuinely a lottery most games and the way it should be. I hate thise years where you have run away leaders like panthers or storm.

It makes for and agaisnt so important. Which means in games where you just aren't at your best you can't afford to let your opposition run away with it.

This is exactly the problem I have with it. The forced equality in the sport. It's plastic entertainment. It's unrealistic. It isn't a true display of rugby league in any true sense because it doesn't allow a team to play the game in its intended form.

It works as an entertainment product, sure. But it's not sport.

Can someone explain why the penalty at 1:39 where Smith ran Lomax off the ball wasn't a sin binning like it was for Farnworth last week?

Have you got the right time code?

If you're referring to the incident early in the second half, it needs to be considered a try scoring situation. Usually anything inside the 20m zone is considered a try scoring situation.

I thought I had.

Yep, that call.

Ah, ok. I don't like it, but I guess it is what it is. That being said, it's a subjective opinion. Any kick chase could be a try scoring situation, or the kick could be too big.

I think you may have posted up the wrong video.

1:39 has the incident.

The argument is that in that situation, the defender is trying to protect his catcher whereas when you kick into space there isn't that defence.

If Corey Allan wasn't there and Lomax went to ground, it could possibly be a professional foul.

You can only judge a man’s sin in or no sin bin based in the size of his opponent’s dive.

I'd love to post a gif of Smith's slow-mo pantomime of a dive.
