Holding down penalties are cut and dry now are they? Pretty sure they are determined by the referees opinion. Much like one where Ryles was penalised for "kid stuff" holding down when the Knights player intentionally trapped his arm so he could not clear the ruck.

Pretty sure I am entitled to an opinion but thanks for playing :)

100% sin bin for cooper.

That said, the moment it happened I went red with anger, expecting him to be marched - thinking about the last few weeks when worse than that against us was let slide...and thinking about how this place would blow right up about it (myself included). Still, fact remains, that was a professional foul - and it feels good to get one back!

HMM ? According to Bennett our penalties are deliberate ?
Although I think he's brave throwing rocks from inside that glass cage :twisted:

What team wants to make more tackles than what they'd usually have to do ? Just because Bennett's team offer nothing in attack doesn't mean he should be calling out other teams.

critisising the spirit we play in when your side has been caught watering the ball is a bit much, that'll do me for taking any notice of him ever again

Spot on!!

What a wanker Bennett is. He's achievements aren't that notable anyway. At the Broncos he basically coached the QLD State of Origin side to 9 or whatever GF's. he should actually be criticised for not winning the others with such a star-studded squad.
Then he went to the Dragons and bought another GF, because Gallop was too gutless to review their salary cap in 2010.
Now he's at Newcastle going nowhere because he's actually got to earn it because it can no longer be bought.

(Don't take too much notice of the above, just as I don't take too much notice of Bennett)

I thought Cooper had to go to the bin. Running across and shielding a player out of a kick chase is one thing, but he tackled him. Couldn't possibly have been a penalty try, but was absolutely a professional foul in my opinion. We'd be going off deluxe if that happened to us and nobody was sent to the bin.

I don't think we always give away deliberate penalties, but there was one that Cam gave away on our line which I said to the old man at the time was deliberate to get our line set as we have total confidence in our ability to hold them out. 2 tackles later Waqa took their winger into touch so it certainly paid off

Two games in a row Justin O'Neil had professional fouls against him. First was a certain try V Bulldogs, the other one was V Warriors
No penalty try and no sin bin on each occasion.

So yes, we have gone off deluxe!!
Looks like the refs are showing some consistency on this area. Consistently wrong, but consistent all the same
