I remember James Graham going to charge a drop kick down in the NRL and accidentally catching the standing leg. A penalty was given even though he didn't do anything wrong. I suspect the RFL have seen it as accidental and therefore said it was sending off sufficient.

check the rfl website!



worthy of an on field penalty! yellow card yes, we saw the fev player carlisle get a yellow v catalan on saturday, so where is the consistancy



now ill leave you to get back to your own crack n spice seeing as your players are little angels!

I hate the wording, as a sending off wasn't sufficient. From their wording, it was not even worthy of a Red, so it should read "On-field call incorrect"

Seriously

It was a penalty at most because it was a bit late. No way on earth is that worth a bin

Can you direct me to where it says he should have been binned? Or where late contact on the kicker is an automatic sin bin

the similarity in reading keal carlise and sicknotes report! no wonder the rfl leave themselves open for criticism



as for late hits, didnt the rfl bring out the yellow card to protect the kicker!?



regardless of yellow or not, the officials got it wrong, like most things last friday night!

it reads very similar to me, late hit i assumed was automatic 10



on friday night the officials got it wrong,(probably a reason the game got like it did in the first half)

From the RFL site;

Obstruction after kick (j) A common form of obstruction occurs when a player, after kicking the ball forward, is tackled or impeded by an opponent. However, a tackler cannot be expected to delay making a tackle because the player in possession might decide to kick the ball. The onus is on the kicker to get his kick in before his opponent commits himself to the tackle.



The ball has been kicked before the opponent commits himself to the tackle. He should be penalised if he obstructs the kicker.

Can't find any mention of an automatic yellow though but if SOL went in after the kick was taken then its a pen.

A late hit isn't an automatic 10, for cases exactly like this one where it would be incredibly soft to sin bin him. The only rules I can think of like that are that professional fouls are an automatic sin bin. Kicking, headbutting and gouging are automatic dismissals. Pretty much everything else is ref's discretion based on severity, intent etc. Obviously with this one it wasn't very severe, and the intent was to charge down the ball. FWIW I agree with the call on the Clubb no try, and that Watts shouldn't have seen red, but this was never worth a yellow.

You lost because you had 12 men? Or because you couldn't close out the game? Or because Sneyd's tackling is poop? Or because Shaul knocked on when you had the chance to win the game again?



More convenient to blame someone else though I guess.
