John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

I suppose it's a black and white sin binning but it did look accidental.
Re: 2019 NRL Finals Week 2 - Teams and Game Day
These commentators are idiots. Of course it's 10 in the bin. You can't strike at the head

I agree with all sin bins that have been given this weekend
The most marginal was the trip, but that was correct too

Re: 2019 NRL Finals Week 2 - Teams and Game Day
The rules are clear. You cant strike a player to the face. He's got no one to blame but himself. Walker sat for the same offence not 24 hours ago.
Its really not a high bar to clear to say "dont hit ***** in the face"

Fair enough, i guess i can see why you might say the face contact is accidential. But the action wasnt. That's the risk you run i guess when you want to throw hands/fists aroundedwahu wrote: ↑September 21, 2019, 8:36 pmI thought it looked like he was slapping his arm because he was holding on and hit his face accidentally.PigRickman wrote: ↑September 21, 2019, 8:34 pmhah WOT?

Re: 2019 NRL Finals Week 2 - Teams and Game Day
Im not arguing that it’s not the rule... it’s a stupid rule. A black and white interpretation to something doesn’t need it. Let’s use some common sense... did that really warrant the storm being disadvantaged for 10 mins? In a close game that’s a huge advantage. This game is turning more and more into rugby union, too many penalties and sin bins.PigRickman wrote:The rules are clear. You cant strike a player to the face. He's got no one to blame but himself.

You also have to consider he lashes out three times in the sequence. Twice he contacts the head. He also leans on the guys head while they’re on the ground.PigRickman wrote:Fair enough, i guess i can see why you might say the face contact is accidential. But the action wasnt.

Three unnecessary contacts to the head. I’m sick of commentators and fans whinging on this ****. Play by the **** rules.

Whether that was his intent or not, when he lashes out, he takes the risk that if he gets it wrong, he sits
I could not be more OK with this sort of thing being a sin bin. Common sense says dont hit people in the face. Simple.

Joey was whinging last night about what we want the game to look like, and Gus will say the same.

Its really not hard. If the dude is holding on to you, let him, trash around and get the penalty. Once you hit in him the face, it's over. And rightly so.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.
