Jared Waerea-Hargreaves has been slammed for a rough NRL move as Stephen Crichton controversy explodes
The tough Roosters player, known for his hard hits and fierce tackles, has recently come back from suspension.
However, NRL fans have not held back in criticizing Jared Waerea-Hargreaves after he was sin-binned early in the game against the Titans.
Meanwhile, the Stephen Crichton drama has once again taken center stage, with the Bunker facing backlash for a series of questionable calls.
Bulldogs center Crichton managed to avoid a sin-bin on Friday night against the Warriors, despite similar tackles resulting in players like Haumole Olakau'atu and Cameron Murray spending time in the bin this weekend.
Waerea-Hargreaves, coming back from a four-game suspension, could now face more time on the sidelines due to his latest actions.
In just 11 minutes of play, Waerea-Hargreaves collided with a Titans player, making contact with his head using his shoulder.
Despite his protests, the Roosters prop was shown a red card and sent off the field.
Commentator Warren Smith remarked, "Oh boy, and coming back from suspension...and now in the sin-bin." While the decision to send Waerea-Hargreaves off was widely agreed upon, some felt he was lucky to only spend a short time off the field.
Comparisons were drawn to Crichton's incident on Friday, where the Bulldogs player escaped a similar punishment.
