Adrian Morley sent off after 12 seconds against the Aussies!

Mozzer flattens Robbie Kerns in the first tackle of the game and gets red carded!

[@thequackzi]

"Adrian. Adrian. It's a real bad one." Gotta love how the officials communicate with the players.

[@nano4288]

This is one thing I love about this sport. The respect among the players and among the officials. Nobody ran to the official's face to complain about the hit. Adrian didn't flail his arms in the air like a girl when he got sent off. The official called him over and explained it briefly. So professional.

Also statistics show that the ball is in play more in League, and that there are less breaks in play (penalties, ball in touch etc...). Studies have shown that in Union the ball is actually in play for only about avg.35 minutes per match, whereas in League the figure is around the avg.65 minute mark.

As an Aussie I was pissed off because it`s no contest whent someone gets marched. If Morley did it after 20 minutes of play I`d bet he`d have stayed on, but fuck, the opening tackle, all eyes are on the ref. Kearns woud`ve wanted him to stay on to get him back too. A dud call.

[@jk94111]

dude, im not dum im actually a ref at the local club n all that. but its just that most likely in this case if kearns didnt hapen to get injured or rattled up(which is very close to impossible i know) then game would hav continued without a penalty, its just that ive seen it so many times in the nrl it pisses me off, this is a minor one

You understand this is Rugby League. A game with no faked injuries and stretchers for players who hop off when they get to the side line. As opposed to football that has both (very classy). Rugby League captains don't fall over and roll on the ground trying to get penalties and a fellow player sent off unlike Steven Gerrard, v France. Rugby League players can enjoy a game of football. Football players would crap themselves in RL .

[@phchmogh]

[@Russell101]

@nano4288 A-fuckin-men to that brother. That's what makes our game great and football shit. Speaking as an Englishman I think he fully deserved to get sent off. It was high and dangerous and the referee wasn't scared to flash the red card within the first minute of the game, whereas in football someone could get away with a yellow card offence in the opening stages of the game, but get booked in the second half for exactly the same thing.

Rugby league has the sheer intensity,toughness,power etc that other sports can only dream about. It makes soccer look like a 5 y.o. girls tea party. Makes NFL look like childs play. We don't need big helmets & shoulder pads. There is nowhere to hide in league. From time to time you will get thugs like Morley but they are quickly rubbed out & dealt with. The best thing about league is that you don't need to learn how to dive like soccers Primadonna's.

You're right it didn't deserve the sin bin, and that's not what he got. He was sent off for the whole match, and it was the right decision.

[@kneeloo]

Robbie Kearns should have head butted Morleys arm harder to break it.

[@thirteenfingers]

No tackles above the shoulders. Anything above there is a "high tackle" and tend to be taken kinda seriously. Thing is, it's practically impossible to accidentally high-tackle like that so it tends to be pretty clear cut. You can tackle high on the body, but it has to be below the neck. Can't say I've got ANY problem with that red card.
