I wholeheartedly agree with Wayne Bennett. Scott Prince was assaulted by two huge Bronco forwards a split second after Prince punted the ball. It was deliberate! There was no attempt to block the ball. It was pure attack on the body of Prince and now the half back has to suffer because, as Bennett says, the game of Rugby League does NOT protect the kicker of the ball in play.
The blame must rest largely upon the critics and commentators of our game. The chief offender is Gus Gould who berates any referee who punishes a late tackle. Gould grunts and groans during his commentary about so-called soft penalties, penalties given for head-high tackles, late charge-downs, etc. Gould relects the thug in rugby league. Oh yes, Gus may have been a successful coach but his continued philosophies of brutal play cast him squarely in the Camp of Thugs.
Immedialey after Prince was sidelined, Brisbane scored. They won the game. And Prince was left to suffer simply because the game itself does not protect the kicker of the ball in play.
Wake up, Mr Gallup. Wake up Mr Stirling. wake up all you influencial people of Rugby League and protect the kicker.
