It's why the doctor called a HIA, because 'nothing happened', and make sure you apply the same 'reasoning' when a Sharks player belts a bloke across the chops, they get penalised, and a Sharks player gets reported.
You are not understanding the rule there obviously.

The doctor calls HIA not because he got a pinky on the chin but because he laid motionless then got up grabbing his head. The doctor does not give a **** about legal or illegal contact, its about the players condition post contact.

The referee in the bunker can only intervene if the contact is reportable. If you think that brush on the face is worthy of going on report im implore you to stop watching the game.

If a sharks player was put on report for that, id be filthy.

Taking dives is rife in the sport. Gutho, Moses, Rapana, Mulitalo and even Ponga wjo grabs his head every tackle are the leaders in it. If you wanna play hurt, the doctor will take you off for a HIA.

Start Williams in the middle, put Burns on the right edge, bring Tuku in for bench impact. If Uele is ready put him on the bench.
Start getting Trindall to manage games, so he gets more experience doing that while its start of the season, Hynes can play a 5-8 role.
Throw in Atkinson as utility to see if he could spark something in the middle, he can play dummy half, or be an attacking option if the halves are choking. Thought Thomas Chester played a good role for the cows coming off the bench yesterday, even sullivan played a basic dummy half role well when Api went off.

1 Kennedy
2 Katoa
3 Ramien
4 Talakai
5 Mulitalo
6 Trindall
7 Hynes
8 Kaufusi
9 Brailey
10 Williams
11 Burns
12 Wilton
13 Mcinnis
14 Atkinson
15 Hamlin-Uele
16 Hazelton
17 Tapuha

Our record at Leichhardt over the past 40 years for a bit of context

They did mate. Plenty of credit needs to go to their forwards. But we handed it to them with some very indifferent play
Very different Tigers side in comparison to the last few years.

Not sure if a FACT , But apparently before the game Benji printed out each players contract and waved it in their face in the in the dressing room

Threatened to tear them up if they play like last week , he was expecting a big turnaround by tigers .

now that they have the oportunity, would like to see Iro given a chance in the 2nd row. watching him a couple of times this year, he runs a straight line, takes the ball up well and is robust enough in defence, with a good bit of flare in attack
