Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3419475, member: 1899"] That's because the video review officials have a directive not to judge severity or mitigating factors. They simply rule on whether an offence is occured and they apply a penalty based on rigid criteria. In this case they saw Fifita make a tackle and that Smith ended up in a dangerous position. An argument could have been made that Smith put himself in that position, but the video review officials are encouraged to reach a decision ASAP. It's a ridiculous system that was poorly thought out and it all comes off the back of one incident involving Drew Hutchinson where the Roosters had to cop it sweet. The same team that tried to victim blame Korbin Sims for getting his jaw broken by Dylan Napa who went looking for a big hit, got it horribly wrong and got what he deserved. [/QUOTE]
