Dolphin Stadium, Redcliffe

Will Roar finally start scoring goals or will it be another case of almost? City are likely to be missing several players but they’ve been so good they’ll still be extremely tough to beat.

Tough call on Genreau. If I had to choose between him getting severe concussion, broken nose and being out of next week's game or conceding the penalty I'm glad it was the penalty. 
I'm all for the hand ball rule being black and white and if the arm is raised up and away from the body it's a penalty regardless of intention. But in this case where it was in front of his face is some common sense needed? 

Agree on this. As the hand was in front of his face there is a clear argument that he didn't make his body any bigger, so I think it already fits in with the current rules, so to my thinking a penalty should not have been given.
