He wouldn't have been sent if it wasn't a square up IMO.

What he did had no impact on the game (until he was sent).

He has been charged. Will miss a week with the early guilty plea
Pathetic, what is this game coming to. Maybe he should have tripped cooper next time he ran the ball, wouldn't have been suspended then.

And cooper deserved it anyway throwing the ball at moylan on the ground

Stitch up.

That game was so poorly refereed it's not funny.
I can't belief they rave about Sutton being the best ref.
Might know the rules but has no feel for a game.

Reminds me of a statistician.

Grant Atkins (I think it is) is the best referee in the game IMO.

But dw they'll drill that out of him soon enough

Charged for that? My God this game is fast becoming a joke. So he could cop the same as Tapau.

Really getting fed up with inconsistency in charges.

I agree with you mate, the refereeing is terrible - they have no feel for the game. But what Fifita did was utterly stupid and while it seems ridiculous he'll get the same as Tapau did I do think he deserves to miss a week for doing that.
One game for that I think is fair but they got the Tapau incident totally wrong - that should have been 5 or 6 weeks.

Yes it was stupid but there is no way it's worthy of a suspension. 10 in the bin was more than sufficient. Should have thrown a punch, that only gets a week as well.

I see where you are coming from mate, but for me just the sheer stupidity gets a week for me. Had he not run all that way and had been where the actual incident happened then I think the sin bin was enough punishment.
But they are cracking down on blokes running in (except for Third man in Thaiday of course! :) ) so I can see why he will be charged.

Too many people are being turned away from the game all because of the refereeing. As I mentioned in the Origin thread, I cannot understand why Greenberg can't see the problems we all can see and set about fixing it. First step is either to get rid of Archer or tell him how it should be done.

Yeah. I don't think it deserved a week. I do think he deserves holiday by the beach for riling up some hysterical Queenslanders though.

In a practical sense, a week off now will be fine.
