Someone explain how 15 - Mitchell can just open a huge hole in the line, stand there and prevent a player making any play at a tackle and it be a try?

If I were a Wahs fan, I would be fuming.
If Murray ran on the inside shoulder of Tohu where the decoy created the hole then it would've been an obvious obstruction, but he ran to the outside shoulder.
 
Come on, they call obstruction on block plays where players are two and three in all the time.
Of course you will never get consistency but that was an easy decision. If he ran the outside shoulder of Harris then it was an easy call of an obstruction. Not on Barnett. Textbook decoy run.
 
On that other angle that Fonua Blake tackle is closer to a sin bin then I thought. Wouldn't be in my rule book but anywho
I thought the Ilias tackle could've gone close to a binning... got him straight across the face and there weren't any mitigating factors (player dropping, etc.)

Fair. Murray was moving quicker on his run. Made it look worse. They both should have been penalties and that's all

I don't like it. Tohu was up, and Barnett was cover, coming across. Clearly impeded. If Dave Taylor could have caught Reece Walsh, Barnett could have covered that twice over.
 
Come on warriors my stepsons beating me in the tipping comp, I need this one
 
Lol... Bunker is controlling this game.

Kick that hits him in the guts is now a charge down... don't expect to see that ever again... well at least not until a souths, storm, rorters or panthers game

Where is the reward for good defensive efforts. Where is the penalty for **** kicking options.
 
And now a quick tap when there is no way all the bunnies were behind the mark... the ball went 30m behind where it started on last tackle

There's no cover or sliding when he catches 2m from the try line in acres of space.
