[QUOTE="Gay-Guy, post: 231502"] I think what gave it away was Monaghans inability to be a professional fouler.  If he had impeded Hohaia with a bit more cunning then it would have not been a penalty try.  Monghan would have simply been penalised...sent off at the most...but no penalty try. It became a penalty try because of how blatant the foul looked.  This in my opinion is what persuaded the video ref. After Monaghan realised he had missed the ball he did not even turn around to look for the ball.  His eyes were directly on Hohaia and he went straight for him.  Making matters worse he tackled him around the neck!  Then after he had done high shot he went into another direction like a guilty school kid...he didn't even bother looking to see where Billy Slater had taken the ball. What he should have done after he missed the ball is: - Turn his back and look at the ball. - Move sideways into the path of Hohaia. - While trying to get moving after the ball he should at the same time move sideways to jostle Hohaia and force him as best as he can to NOT have a direct line of run towards the ball. Some tips from soccer players would have helped when it came to jostling.  Also he could have gotten tips from watching rugby players when they hold their ground and turn the other way. It is a bit like when they make rulings on head shots.  they are all head shots....however some look accidental and are just put on report....others though such as Adrian Morley shots look 100% deliberate and the result is an instant send off.  Monaghans mistake is that he could not disguise his foul. instead he made it look like he was commiting the only action he could do to prevent a definite try.
