The Bulldogs sent DAMIEN COOK to the Rabbitohs and opted to keep Lichaa at the end of 2015 (he played 8 or so games for the bulldogs and everything you see him do now was displayed back then). One of the stupidest moves ever in rugby league.
Both knucklehead plays. Good to see the referees take action that was consistent. The Dogs have defended really well in the last 6 weeks, if a couple of other results during the year went their way they would be in the 8!
It doesn’t look like he quite connects unfortunately...
It is perhaps a bit of a stretch by a one-eyed Eels supporter... but given that Smith was not looking at, or going for the ball and Sivo catches the ball and likely would’ve remained inside the touch line without Smith’s early rule breaching contact - it definitely constitutes a penalty and perhaps even consideration of a penalty try...

Don’t worry mate, I am very one (green) eyed. In the Roosters match a couple of weeks back, I was adamant the Tupou / CNK contest should have been a Canberra penalty and not a Mitchell try. This was despite several impartial friends telling me it was a fair contest!!
