Smith, Macintosh and Connor all start to run across to celebrate with Wynne.
Pryce shows,yet again, what a pathetic sportsman he is by trying to trip Smith
If he doesn’t grow up fast he isn’t going to last long down under?
A nice story, except pryce was nowhere near the try scorer. So Connor for one had no reason to go in that direction. And I think your man is correct- Connor isn’t there and the decision could have gone against us- the fact him and his reputation and mouth goes flying in will have not helped the situation. Pryce does stick his leg out, as smith runs across him and between two of the hudds players. cynical of pryce and petulant-( but telling a teenager to grow up in his first year as a pro when you have Connor acting as he does is rather hypocritical), but why not just go around rather than through the hudds players. It was done to deliberately provoke. It backfired - oops.

Connor is a mouthy, irritating player, he's not a prick who purposely trips other players up for absolutely no reason.

Even though its on video you still cant tell some on here that its Connor who provoked the incident by gobbing off at Pryce. yes Pryce tripped Smith we all know that and he will cop a ban of probably two games based on his record but the defence of Connor when no one else was involved at the time is both naive and deluded.Take Connor out of the incident and we dont get Smith sent to the sin bin. Welcome some meaningful comments but expect it will be the usual posse who will try and defend Connor.

The trip by Pryce on Smith is to say the least both unsporting and petulant and should receive a 1 or 2 game ban based on previous. The officials if giving Smith a yellow need to questioned as to why the failed to see or act on the trip by Pryce. Some decisions are certainly going against us at present.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Not at all. In the same way I don’t defend Wynne on some of the stupid things he’s done this season.
Didn’t try and defend Ligi Sao for his recent act of stupidity.
But despite what you say and no matter how much you try and exaggerate Connors part in it all the whole incident started with the trip by Pryce. That is clear on video but for some reason you would rather criticise your own teams players. Why would that be?
For me the fact Connor then went over to Pryce at least shows team spirit and a team that has got each other’s back.
