Souths Penalty Try

[Bradza]

The old saying "a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush" comes to mind.

you reminded me of one of my favourite pieces of graffiti;

"an orgasm in the bush is worth................"


oh, and by the way, I think it was a generous decision but agree with the logic from ads above re changing the slant of the wording and justifying it by the fact that illegal play removes your rights to a fair trial - or something!

I agree with chip & chase 100%.

A try was likely, but not certain. In my opinion the sin bin would have been a better option here.

A penalty try was far too generous in this case.

Yep, as above posters. Don't forget Dugan would've got a reasonable shot on him just as he would've got the ball, so no cert to score - 70/30 to score in my book.
Sin Bin & penalty would be my verdict - yes even if it was Snake that got tackled.

I agree that a penalty and 10 in the bin would have been sufficient.
There was still 20% uncertainty that he might not have scored.
On that basis, I don't think it should have been a penalty try.

Because GI plays for Souths and used to play for Melbourne, I think he should have received 10 in the bin and a penalty to Canberra.
