Will we lose points for the sin bin?

[Brissie Kid]

Does any of this stuff up really surprise anyone. The Gift vs Blair fight in the battle of Brookvale was the direct result of the NRL not being able to manage two players being sent to the sin bin at the same time. They left the two players to walk off the field without any NRL officials in sight. Last night the binned players still left on their own. Difference in 2018 is Scott ran off the field. Nothing has changed to suggest the Gift vs Blair fight can't happen again.

nrl = reactive, instead of being proactive

Does anyone know who is in charge of the HIA, scrum and shot clocks?

Could they not be in charge of sin bins as well

 

[Ned]

At what point will we start discussing the appearance of the male commentators?

Phil Slithfields's alcoholic red nose and cheeks get a fairly regular mention, and I personally have remarked on the likeness between bulldog Ritchie and Kermit the frog

 

[Moops]

Yes but mainly about their collective incompetence not their looks (although to be fair there is some of that)

Our comprehension skills must differ then, but all good.

Sounds good to me

Didn't realise any of this time keeping stuff was going on live at the game but boy was good giving it to the storm fans at the end

The NRL has released a statement on the sin bin blunder in the Storm and Manly clash

Storm officials confront NRL officials.


AN overburdened NRL ground official was central to a timekeeping blunder that resulted in two Manly players returning early from the sin bin on Saturday night.

Fallout from Manly’s 24-4 win over Melbourne at AAMI Park continued on Sunday, with the Storm ruling out a protest and the Sea Eagles’ two competition points from the match appearing safe.

But the NRL will continue a review into the incident that saw Apisai Koroisau and Matt Wright returning from the bin one minute and 41 seconds earlier than they should have during the second half.


Under NRL rules, timekeeping duties for sin-bins fall on a designated member of each team’s staff, with the ground manager only overseeing the process. Ordinarily, clubs use the match clock as a guide, and only use a stop watch as a back up in case there is an outage.

However away teams - as was the case on Saturday night when no Manly official was present - can pass that job onto the home team’s official to look after both teams if required.


Saturday night’s scenario was then complicated when Melbourne’s official became unavailable late.

It was at that point the NRL’s ground official added the job to his list of match-day duties.


That all created the perfect storm when Melbourne’s Curtis Scott was sent off and Manly’s Koroisau and Dylan Walker were sin-binned following a brawl in the second half.

Walker was required to undergo a head injury assessment as a result of the Scott punch that gave him a fractured eye socket.

Questions were asked of the NRL’s ground manager on whether Wright could replace him at the end of the time period with a free interchange, as is part of the official’s regular duties.

During that time it’s believed he missed pausing his stopwatch during a stoppage for a Manly try, leading to him instructing Wright and Koroisau to return almost two minutes early.

It was at that point a furious Melbourne football manager Frank Ponissi argued the case with the NRL official, pointing to the match clock that time had not elapsed regardless of the 10 minutes showing on the watch.


“The NRL ground manager was required to deal with an interchange issue requiring urgent clarification and a timekeeping error regarding the sin bin period was made,” an NRL spokesman said.

“The mistake is unfortunate and it is regretted.

“The NRL will conduct a review of the process and will discuss measures to ensure the circumstances are not repeated.” With Manly leading 10-4 at the time, they held out a Melbourne raid with 13 men rather than 11 as the Storm went the length of the field in the ensuing set. Clubs have previously been fined or docked points for having too many players on the field at once, but it’s understood the NRL won’t penalise Manly over the matter as it reviews the process.

They did change it straight away because of the battle of Brookie. Now they have to wait before sending a second player so they don't end up 'chatting' with each other on their way off the field.

It's not the poor ol NRL blokes fault. Blokes can't multitask, let the chicks do that stuff.

Does anyone reckon the biff will bring these boys together? It must make team mates feel closer. I remember they did when I played

 

[maxta]

No

 

[eaglebuzz]

The NRL seems to have owned up to the fact that their procedures were the reason for the error. They couldn't possibly take points off us now, despite half of the FOX's commentary team's best efforts to bring about that outcome by discussing it with that end in view.

 

[Bearfax]

'Its understood the NRL wont penalise Manly (for having two player on the field before they should have been) over the matter as it reviews the process. How on Earth could they penalise Manly for what was an NRL officials mistake'. Why even say it. Its like suggesting a school student gets penalised for being late for class because the bell to return to class rang late. Get real. Has nothing to do with Manly, journos. Why even say it?

 

[globaleagle]

I know...it is just not something I am overly comfortable with.

I mean I have a daughter and whilst I know people will talk about them like this it is not something that I find overly comfortable....and not something that I would do

I always have hope that we can do better collectively but it seems some would rather continue the status quo, put in huge efforts to defend their perceived right to be misogynistic rather than make a tiny effort to show an ounce of respect.

Weak.

----- S'funny that the melb official suddenly became unavailable, but they still had that guy on the sideline saying how the nrl guy stuffed up. If you had a guy that could do that , Melbourne, you had a guy that could have done it in an official capacity.

So storm should lose points for the next 3-200 games.
