I've been a bit confused with what the commentators last night were saying, what Robinson said in the presser and what I'm reading on the papers match reports.
The commentators last night were saying that because Brown wasn't put on report, we couldn't activate the 18th man rule and bring in Suaalii.
Robinson said in the presser that he was told 20 minutes after the Hutch incident, at the start of the 2nd half that Brown was now on report and Robbo didn't have time to prepare.
The Same reason was explained by journos including that from the NRL, that Robbo didn't have to to prepare.
What did Robbo have 'no time to prepare'? Joseph had been warming up once Ikuvalu was sent to the HIA and and still could have warmed up during the the second half, but Robbo didn't use him.
I agree that the officials were incompetent fools, but why didn't Robbo pull the trigger on Joseph and gave him some game time even if it was the last 20 or so minutes of the game? Maybe he might of injected some fresh opportunities to score.
I don't get this whole incident.
