I know not all of you are followers of the NRL, but this fall out from Friday nights Parramatta - St George game is a big farce. To paraphrase, a Parramatta player illegally attacked the head of a St George player which resulted in an all in brawl bar a Parramatta player who had picked up the ball and scooted away to score.
The video official ruled the illegal tackle was OK and awarded a try. Come Monday, NRL officials reviewed the incident and charged the Parramatta player with a Grade 2 Careless High Tackle. i.e. the NRL has done a 180 degree backflip to what the match official thought.
At what point does this all become a farce? The on field decision cost St George the game and now St George will be vindicated in the judciary room, but that is no compensation.
Absolute Farce!
Dragons breathing fire: "Stone deemed Marsh was not at fault as players streamed in to join the fray, allowing McKinnon to run unimpeded to the tryline."

As a Parra supporter I won't say anything on this ;)
A cowardly attack. Barrett should be ashamed to call himself a man after attcking P.J. from behind. Williams did the same to O'Neill and became an outcast.
i thought you get taught from under 5's to play the refs whistle? Barrett's the most over-rated player in league since that other MAN.
Cowardly!? Yes, very brave refusing to put names to your messages!
Nevermind that Marsh was CHARGED and pleaded GUILTY!
tsk tsk!
