Refereeing decisions

[Strewthcobber]

I'm disapointed in myself here

Don't be too hard on yourself here JR. Rhino is obviously a pretty old AI. Most posters on here are newer versions where you can't even tell

When will we hear about Cam Miller's citing for his high tackle against Moana?

In yesterdays Reds v Force game near the end Hamish Stewart shoulder charged a Reds player to the head and play continued under advantage then Swain did a head high shot on HMP.

If the referee didn't determine that they were only penalties could both players be carded or only one?

I know that more than one player can get carded from a single incident but these were separated but have never seen what happened result in 2 cards

Both should have been carded. Swain clearly lowered his left arm to stop HMP. Ref wimped out. So should have Dolly for his hit on Lynagh.

Can card either or both, and the ref considered both incidents, but decided both were penalty only

I thought all three met the Yellow Card threshold.

However, whilst the lack on consistency is frustrating I’m actually happy the two cards at the end didn’t come out. The Reds had to beat 15 players and there can be no suggestion that they were given an unfair advantage of numbers by the ref.

There were a few high shots over the weekend that weren't picked up. I'll be interested to see if any get sent to the judiciary.

I agree, I guess my question was more about whether Swain can claim that his offence would not occurred if the referee actually blew the whistle.

Hypothetically it would be possible to have 15 advantages where every player gets carded but if the whistle was blown at the start only one player gets carded.

In this case I think both deserved cards but cannot resolve in my mind if Swain should really get one.

Don't really see it any differently to an act of foul play being committed during a period of penalty advantage - that situation could result in a card, so Swain's could as well.

It wouldn't be a credible defence at a judiciary, put it that way.
