Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3019808, member: 1899"] I can certainly understand why Manly were frustrated with that final play. [MEDIA=youtube]id=xkdMGN8lJcA;t=277[/MEDIA] [URL]https://www.nrl.com/siteassets/operations/nrl-laws-and-interpretations-2018.pdf[/URL] Page 17 stipulates that an escort hasn't been comitted if a player is running towards the football and if he takes up his position prior to the football arriving. Lafai satisfies the first element, but then he changes his position to take Garrick out of the play. Garrick was long odds of challenging Pereira for the football, but that doesn't excuse Lafai's foul. As far as whether it should have been referred to the video referee, I'm OK with the referees leaving that on the field while referring the incident with Aitken. Parker committed a professional foul, deserved to go on report and was fortunate to stay on the field. [/QUOTE]
