Quote ="BrisbaneRhino"Even if the Australian 'tackles' on Johnson weren't necessarily dangerous in themselves, they were often very late, so should have been penalised for that alone. The third man flop was allowed too much for both sides.'"
Exactly.
It seems to my (admittedly) jaundiced eyes that Bentham is so desparate to get games down under that he turns a blind eye to so many offences that if it were the Rhinos he'd penalise.
Cameron Smith is a truly great player but the amount of messing about at the PTB he gets away with is unbelievable.
