Maybe Bateman should have been sent off, maybe he shouldn’t.

But you cannot watch the reply in slow motion.

It’s ridiculous

If sezer didn’t stay down injured he may not of got sent off.

It’s an irrelevant point.

The refs shouldn’t judge based on that.

Oh yeah but sometimes it works that way.
One bit of luck we needed was marshy try to be given

Fwiw I think Bateman’s reaction says it all. Terrible technique.
That said, if the ref sent Marshall’s try up as a try on-field I bet it would have been given.

What? Why?

None of the Try decisions have been wrong tonight.

Can someone explain why the penalty for Wigan when Smithies got his 'facial' wasn't intentional direct contact with the head???

Because there wouldn’t be enough to overturn it.
Never said it was wrong. It was the right call. Just saying how silly the rule is. Helps take the edge off the shocking display.
