‘Every day of the week’: Stunning hip drop drama stirs controversy as inconsistency slammed

There was plenty of confusion at Accor Stadium during the Bulldogs’ win over the Tigers, after Aidan Sezer was allowed to stay on the field despite his “clear” hip drop tackle on Josh Curran .

Sezer’s tackle on Curran in the second half with the Bulldogs up 16-14 appeared to be a textbook example of a hip drop as described by Fox League commentators Warren Smith and Michael Ennis, who thought for sure that the Tigers half was heading to the bin. Ennis said the inconsistency between referees makes it tough for the commentators to explain to the fans watching at home.“It’s so hard as a commentator to be able to give people a clear understanding at home of what the ruling is going to be on these types of tackles because that is a sin bin every day of the week from what we’ve seen,”Smith then referenced the incident during Thursday night’s Panthers-Rabbitohs clash which saw Penrith outside back Izack Tago sent to the sin bin.
