@GlenWillia48787 @LeagueScenePod I'm not sure the NRL do. Every single release from them I've found states it needs to be an HIA from foul play that results in a sin bin/send off

@LeagueScenePod Commentators not knowing the rules lol

Parramatta can activate their extra replacement due to the earlier dismissable act of foul play which saw J'Maine Hopgood injured and Ryan Couchman sin-binned. They are allowed to activate it as per the previous 18th man rules @AndrewVossy ! #NRLEelsDragons

@LeagueScenePod @AndrewVossy When did the rule become any injury? Every NRL release I've seen states HIA from foul play resulting in sin bin/send off

Since when has 18th man been activated by any foul play the ends a game? Surely that opens the door to feign injury. HIAs are black and white as they're determined by clear independent process. Game ending injury is extremely grey. #NRLEelsDragons

@PenrithPanthers And @NZWarriors have bettered it, so the record stood for a day. Definitely a question of for/against vs % though - especially with Panthers only conceding two tries in 240 mins

The @PenrithPanthers have had the best ever start (after 3 rounds) to the season of the NRL era. Only 99 Sharks, 06 Knights, 20 Eels come close, but the scary part is not his the for and against, but the 10 against... Scarier still they've played 3 of the predicted top 6 #NRL

@bennyisles I think both are players that work well in good teams. Good under high ball, strong runners, hard workers, good finishers

@abbacarter I think bother benefit from being in good teams

People saying Marky Mark should be NSW winger. I would have Alamoti and Jenkins both ahead of him, and that's just from this game. Nawaqanitawase is a highlight reel player, but so bad with errors and defensive reads. #NRLRoostersPanthers

@bennyisles Yep, that's the obvious call. I think Jenkins and Alamoti better under the high ball. Kiraz probably deserves first crack

@abbacarter Kiraz and To’o

@Gary32t I think it's all of the above

@abbacarter Nothing to do with Mark and all to do with Toias drop off in defence and DCE being a passenger. Toias getting destroyed this season and leaving mark with multiple 2 on 1s each game.

@the_joshy_boy Yet he gives the penalty. If it's a penalty, surely it's a bin

So after the tackle is well and truly complete Tedesco can lift Dylan onto his head... But Atkins doesn't see that as a professional foul?

@NRL Scary when using his player as a shield? What happened to obstruction? Did Edwards have to take the dive and milk for it to be given?

James Tedesco is scary in broken play! 😳

@thebalmainboy @mitchclarke1 @ParraEelsFacts Yep this is my understanding but the issue with the release is they've not made it clear. If you jump to disrupt the defender and just use one arm, that's a penalty, if you successfully bat the ball back it's fine. It's not illegal to bat the ball back

@mitchclarke1 @ParraEelsFacts The rule is ok, It's an incorrect interpretation from the ref. If you win the ball then you obviously were genuinely contesting for it. You won the contest. Just standing as an obstacle is not contesting.

Players having to use both hands to bat a ball backwards may be the dumbest new rule this year and that's saying something #NRL

@bernyoz @PeterVLang Definitely didn't play wing. Coaches get lazy with team changes, and just swap players straight in and out. Was the same with Jenkins named in the centres but playing wing

@PeterVLang And on the wing ….

@cwjreynolds Indian and Australian cricket? You're clearly English. English fans of any sport. Football, cricket, rugby in particular

Indian and Australian cricket plus South African rugby, but who is the fourth on the Mount Rushmore of most easily triggered sports fans?

@nrl_bunker69 @RossMartin1960 @stojaaa_xx @FOXNRL @NRL Actually the same charge as Cleary's. Cleary just fought his and got it lowered to grade 1. Plus Burns' intial contact was high, Cleary's intial contact was with the shoulder. The Crichton one is a joke

@RossMartin1960 @stojaaa_xx @FOXNRL @NRL Add a 3rd, Burns tackle no worse than Clearys and a worse charge

CHARGES IN 🚨 The charge sheet is in for the Bulldogs' game... and the NRL has given its verdict on this Stephen Crichton high shot. DETAILS 👉 bit.ly/4aHN1h1

@sk_pryde Spot the Dragons fan?

- Bulldogs only try off a forward pass - Crichton should have been binned - No penalty for Kikau late shot - Leilua penalised for a fend - Escort line called when Tu runs directly to the ball Can the refs find any other ways to get the Bulldogs up here?

@timmy_tahs16 He's a "buzz around the middle" sort of hooker, who might give you some exciting highlight reels, but his game management from dummy half needs to improve big time. Cook was very similar for a long time.

@abbacarter Fuck he is a shit cunt should be no where near first grade a proper hooker doesnt fuck that play up

Hayward has gone to a blind side who are unaware it's the last twice when Galvin was tackled on the fifth. Needs to find Burton there. #NRLBulldogsDragons #NRLVegas

@shmaxta The obstruction against Gutherson was the right call, but much softer than that call

@shmaxta I'm a neutral, don't even have money on it. Nothing more consistent than the inconsistent NRL interpretations

That's an obstruction. Clifford ran behind his player and bought him a second for the kick. Watch much less called back throughout the year. The inconsistency on obstruction/shepherd is ridiculous #NRLVegas #NRLKnightCowboys

@LeagueUnlimited "Common sense" in the laws of the game? Are we host going by the vibe? It bought Clifford extra time for the kick. Obstruction every day.

52' TRY COWBOYS ! Murray Taulagi scores for the Cowboys. Common sense by the Bunker with no obstruction, great kick from Clifford and the Samoan winger gets it down. Clifford converts. NEW 22 NQL 18 Blog: leagueunlimited.com/live-update/sh… #NRLVegas
