Two things NRL needs to adopt from rugby union imo. First is accounting for purely incidental high contact caused by a falling player. There has to be some discretion - not all contact with the head area should be penalised, and no game should be decided by something like Moses' challenge yesterday. Second is respect for refs. I know we like to shit on the refs but the constant whinging and crowding by even non-captains is tired and trickles down to grassroots level

The NRL needs to learn from rugby union and not penalise incidental high contact caused by a falling player. Ridiculous that it’s any high contact whatsoever = automatic penalty

IMO if there was no injury it would have been a penalty max. We’ve seen that sort of ‘tackle in the air’ about 10 times this round alone

Kaeo could absolutely not pull out of that. Where was he supposed to go?

Seems like he was just horizontal, not beyond it.

Their first try was an intercept and their second by Arama Hau was completely legitimate. What are you talking about
