The ref should know that's just how Western Suburbs juniors say hello to each other.

 

[rhugh89]

I didn't see any contact with the head when watching the replay

Penalty yes, Send off no

Just my take on it

- - - Updated - - -

Second half is underway !!

 

[slotmachine]

that's my point though, what was the best case scenario for redman putting pressure on with his elbow cocked?

Your right, It was silly to raise the elbow but it was not a send off offence imo

Definitely worthy of a penalty but not a send off

Newtown Jets -24 (TRIES: Evans 2, Rueben, Vaivai, Dureau GOALS: Stapleton 0/2 Dureau 2/3)

 

[MattyM]

Jeez we got lucky there. That would've been a bloody waste had we lost. Great effort from both lower grades today. I wouldn't be surprised to see a horrible performance from first grade to be honest.

 

[Billy]

4 tries to 5 and we win with a perfect kicking display in the howling wind.
