Tim has been an NRL statistician for ABC Radio Grandstand since 1999, primarily as part of their Canberra coverage. Tim has loved rugby league since Sterlo was a kid with lots of hair but was cursed with having no personal sporting ability whatsoever. He couldn't take a hit in footy, was a third division soccer player making up numbers, plays off 41 in golf and is possibly the worlds worst cricketer ever. He has always been good at arguing the point though and he has a great memory of what happened. Follow Tim on Twitter @GorskiOPork

again, a minnow nation. England is not a minnow nation. This selection treats them like one though. I can’t imagine they’d be happy about that – if they have pride in their nation that is.

Those are minnow nations who might need such selections to help them compete. And I don’t believe he is a citizen.

Baz, I don’t think he is an English citizen. He qualifies through his grandmother. That might be ok for minnow nations but not for England. Or Australia.

But that decision had yet to be publicly announced. The six again call was publicly made and signalled to all.
I know, I’m quibbling…

In the Whitehead incident the ref was advised of foul play – eg a strip. He’s allowed to change a decision in that instance.
In regards to double movement, that language is ambiguous.

I think it is more about what half of the field it happens in.

The NRL knew the risks for years about on-field trainers and did nothing

Yeah. I hear you.
My shame is I bawled out two young ladies for constantly walking in front of me while I was trying to watch the game. I was under stress and over reacted. They were Raiders fans BTW…
If you’re out there girls, I’m sorry…

Ben Cummins is a good man and a great referee – so lay off him!

Five metres out: yes. Ten metres out: No. there is only one half (apart from Wighton) I would give a chance to stop Papalii one on one from ten metres out and that’s cooper cronk.

He just panicked. that’s all. nothing more. its just a stuff up. I truly with it was more. I wish it was a conspiracy that, once uncovered, would see my boys awarded the trophy. But it isn’t at all. its just human error.
from a human who doesn’t make many errors and is a good bloke and a great ref. lets not destroy him for this.

He just panicked. That’s all. That is also a normal, human reaction.
