We currently have the Bermuda triangle of officialdom.

The refs
The bunker
The MRC

common sense just vanishes in thin air
MRC is a weird one. It never gives advantage to the opposition during the game, but the opponents playing in the upcoming weeks get the advantage.

So, if you have a hard game and then a bunch of "easier" games, you can try to hurt the other team and if you cop a week or two suspoension so be it.

I do not know the answer to this problem but somehow there needs to be a way to benefit the wronged-side in the current game too.

It’s punishing the offender not rewards by the victim. Punish the offender makes it easier for their next opponents against them, reward victim makes it harder for their opponents against them.
Think you have to punish offender

I know and understand all that but if you are an offender in the current game, I believe the victim should get an advantage too. You take out my player, I am disadvantaged, then MRC gives you x weeks but you played on in my game.

IMHO, It should be both. Punish the offender but also reward the victim.

In theory, players that warrant a suspension should have got at least 10 in the bin during the game (if not sent off). That benefits the 'victim'

The problem is that there is so much inconsistency between referring and MRC that they are making each other look stupid.

But for the offensive team that’s harsher than the week they play someone else instead.
Maybe the 5 they always mention.

The concept is fine I just can’t see a good/fair way to do it.

Yeah, I do not know the answer to that either.

Yep, Inconsistency is the biggest issue.

Can’t be re signed for next year. Should be playing off the bench also for rest of this year and not even be named captain. This bloke is finished. Has been for the past 3 years.

Wade had a good game, he has been going pretty well. He hasn't become the left side ball hogging play making cramping outside backs type player we feared he would return to be. Has kept it pretty simple making tackles and carrying the ball for the most part with the odd pass wide.

Sifa and Ronnie get most of their ball coming in field for hit ups regardless

His Captain challenge was correct on the decision being challenged, probably should have been given his challenge back but the video ref uses it to check out all the other **** they probably missed as well.

Did Jesse definitely knock that ball on? Kinda look like he knocked it back in direction of his own goal line but then it hit Murrays chest who was kinda to the side and front of jesse

If Wade challenged Braileys knock on, and it was proven right, shouldn't we have kept our challenge?

If seen plenty of times where a team keeps their challenge even though they found a different indiscretion in the play.

I agree. Poor call. I thought it should have been “challenge retained”.

Very good point. I missed it during the game.

I reckon Sam from Sharkcast would like the hearing held during the game to determine consequences before the game continued.
Love ya Sam ;)
