Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3263424, member: 9052"] It can happen whenever a reportable offence occurs.... why this one was so odd is because absolutely no one had an issue with the shot from TPJ. The typical occurrence is a half laying down in agony because they've been hit a split second after passing it or a decoy runner staying down because they were taken on suspicion... the intent of the player and usually the trainer is to stay down as long as needed for the ref to call time off, which then allows the bunker to go and check the incident and if there was foul play the tackler goes on report and a penalty is given. In the TPJ incident red nut got up straight away and played the ball, because he didn't even think it was high. Play continues on the for the entire set until Manly knock it on from the kick and the ref finally calls time off. How long did the bunker know of the incident before advising the ref?? If he knew after 2 tackles why not advise the ref then and there (manly weren't doing anything in the set)?? What if TPJ's incident warranted sending off but because the bunker allowed play on he makes a try saving tackle that he shouldn't have been on the field for?? What if TPJ does another reportable offense during the 'advantage' period that could put him on report twice or the second incident ends up getting him sent off?? Are they now reviewing every single tackle of every set to look for reportable offenses?? There has been no scrutiny on this one and I think it's one of the real unknowns hanging around under the new new NRL.... another way for the NRL to manipulate a game. How many other incidents were similar to the TPJ one over the 400 odd tackles that didn't get called back?? [/QUOTE]
