Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3496875, member: 1899"] Teams usually get three warnings, it's the forth six again when they start to get binned. Even so, referees are hesitant to blow them, it has to be really blatant. Since the shoulder charge didn't make direct contact with the head and didn't happen after the try was scored there was nothing the referee could do. The play on call caused a storm out for me but I think they may have got this right. I believe Capewell did push the player over, so while Atkins was concentrating on the play-the-ball and deemed it OK, he took a second to get to the altercation. That cold drop which led to a penalty for off-side was an old fashioned bail out penalty. He knew they didn't get any advantage over whatever the six again was for, so he found a player off-side when he could have found one off-side the entire game but let players get away with it all night. That was my second storm out of the night. Another one, how many six agains were there before that one Haas run where he had 3 Canberra players hanging off him trying to prevent the play the ball? That was a penalty every day of the week but I believe Atkins swallowed his whistle on that one. [/QUOTE]
