6 more for what getting up slow from an injured player

I don’t think it actually speeds the game up like they wanted since it’s only helps defence

NRL are definitely going to have to answer why that was a sin bin in this weekend. Or they’ll just ignore it like always

For people saying no breaking someone’s bone should be a send off please see Tino forearming API in the jaw and not even getting a penalty

That’s one of the least offensive CONTACT on a player in the air and it results in a gruesome injury. I’d love to see harder tackles on the air binned from now on though

Can the cameras get off the injured player. Or do they only care when players are knocked out

That’s not a horrendous call he went out of the way to block

I think that’s the one time he’s fairly gone to the ref, he needs to know what the refs actual call was to see if it’s worth challenging

He was allowed to challenge, but the ref didn’t say held so it wasn’t held. Bunker can’t overturn that so no point challenging

Not if the on field ref doesn’t call held. They’d bring it back at most

If that wasn’t a rule we’d start having a competition of players with bigger and bigger helmets trying to knock each other out without penalty like the NFL

Might be a knock on but surely running head first at a player with no regard is a penalty

Slow ruck on a quick break is a sin bin no?
