Main referee Bill Harrigan said yesterday that it was “comfortable” when Scott Jennings had sin bin midway through the first half came.

The decision was a major turning point in the game, when Queensland wing Darius Boyd scored, while Jennings was next to the field and those in NSW Cecchin said he did not know how to cope with it, such a situation, while arbitration and had his first Origin game was faster and more intense games of NRL.

The controversy has questions, why did the referee Tony Archer and Shayne experienced Hayne has been neglected for Cecchin and Cummins raised. NSW officials denied suggestions that she did not want Archer, as the Blues have a poor record under him, and is expected to push for more experts in the ringing alarm bells for Origin II at ANZ Stad ium on 13 June to control.

There was also speculation that Archer was considered too slow for the pace of origin, but Harrigan said he was on the verge of Origin nominated and I had a chance to stay for the next memory game.

“On the basis of performance that has passed,” said Harrigan. “It’s been very close, and I told Tony, when was the appointment of the fact that he was lost. But the other two guys at the time the referees do.” Harrigan said that Hayne is currently rated No. 4.

” And you know, the nice thing is: we have started to play

” We must be careful not to overload them. It’s a simple game, especially when playing in the front row. You know you’ll take a hit to the head, or do you want in your head or what ever you do, kicked, but do it anyway.”

NSW strike from Tony Williams has no intention of curbing his aggressive style tackle after three judicial offices in seven games.

Williams, a private fitness session Pinnaclesports Stadium after he had to camp with the team yesterday Blues in Penrith, has not Manly on for about three losses to Cronulla 19th Played in March because of a seven-game suspension for a fourth class of dangerous litter.

With the last of his two previous offenses by increasing the barrier for Class 2.4 lift on Gois 5-7 Sharks hooker Isaac de games, Williams can actually be canceled if the NRL continues to have legal problems.

is, however, the test star said he was indifferent, and will continue to play the same way as NSW coach Ricky Stuart had pushed him to choose for his home debut, although they did not play for nine weeks.

” I really do not know how this all works, just playing footy and I said not really worry about such things,” he said. ” I just try to play hard and it is unfortunate and something “unfortunate the way things sometimes end up.

” It’s not something I want to do, but footy is a tough game and I just try as hard as I can play. I think they should change all that stuff with cargo and carry-over points, but that’s up to them. I will not hold to determine the country of origin.”

Williams does not believe that his foul on De Gois justify such a heavy suspension, but said that the fear of receiving a 10-match ban and misses whole series of origin, when they challenged the classification pushed unnecessary to plead guilty .

As it was, he feared he had blown his chances of selection for Origin I and is grateful for the belief that Stuart has shown in him.” I my goal to play every game to play, and representatives of my best for my country, the state, so that my club has killed me not to play in a position in the Anzac Test,” Williams said.

” I was very excited about the so- good, but home was something great that I wanted to do this year. I was not willing to risk it, so I was on the ground soon, but I still had some fears that I will not do this year. ‘ / P>” I personally do not believe, and I know some people who agree with me that it is not worth the time I’m out there, but that’s all over and I’m looking to the future. I am thrilled and honored to be part of it and I will do my best for the team. There was a lot of confidence in me shown, and I am very happy and very happy to be here. I will do my best for the team and try to make a difference to make.”

Despite his time on the sideline, Williams said he trained hard under the guidance of fitness guru Don Singe and Manly have problems to adapt to the pace and intensity of the origin.” It was such as pre-season training and I know I’m physically ready to play,” he said.
