Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2244101, member: 2115"] no it would be a penalty for an offside player making contact with the ball carrier. the call was no worse than any number of line-ball calls in the game. the 'high shot' penalty against melbourne in the opening few minutes was a doozy - never even came close to hitting his neck or head. are you forgetting that that was 100% legal when billy slater did that? there was nothing wrong with it, and OTHER players had also been doing it for years. i remember way back in like 95 when matthew ridge literally kicked the ball out of a broncos players hands as he was reaching out for a try. not just slide in, he literally pulled the leg back and swung it - and it was fine, no try, no penalty. it was a good tactic and quite frankly i think its ridiculous that the NRL has outlawed it. its also ridiculous that they let Hayne off for kneeing someone in the head, but hey, NSW fans wouldve whinged for the next 6 months if he got suspended so it was never going to happen. i also thought the eels were incredibly disrespectful for doing their lap while Smith was giving his speech and the storm were going to receive their medals. i dont care what their reason was for doing it then, its disrespectful. and as good as fui fuis hit looks, i thought it shouldve been a penalty. he lead with his arms and smacked him square in the head with his arm. oh and did anyone else notice that Moimois try was basically a carbon copy of Carl Webbs epic SOO try in 2001?
