Does anyone find it a bit funny that Atkins was dropped for giving the knights one extra tackle, yet almost every game sides are awarded dubious six agains which are never scrutinised?
I thought if there was no dummy half the marker couldn’t dive on the ball. Had to pick it up instead. I recall Herbie getting penalised in on of those obscure calls that only seem to go against us.
I agree. It’s disgraceful. The bunker knew they’d make him look like a fool if they overturned after him saying that. The referee shouldn’t be influencing challenges or bunker decisions at all.
