Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 3481979, member: 2021"] NRL have said they made the wrong call here and Melbourne should have been penalised. “Last year and in previous seasons, what we’ve seen is if the play breaks down in that tackle because there’s any kind of interference by the defender [it’s been a penalty],” Annesley said. “[This year], if there is a ball plant that is essentially the first offence. If the ruck breaks down…they [the Bunker] will firstly look to see if the player tried to play the ball too quickly. “Unfortunately, the Bunker came up with the wrong decision. This is clearly one of the cases we talked about and discussed with the clubs [in the off-season]. “Hopefully, the referees will deal with this consistently throughout the course of the year. “It’s a shame we’re talking about an incorrect decision of this in week one but it’s important we understand the principle and the expectation around these type of incidents in games.” [/QUOTE]
