All NRL Games [Round 18, 2024]

Don't know how to feel after that, had our chances, last tackle options hurt us but can't fault the effort.

Can't wait to hear the excuses from the NRL over the bunker clearing the late head contact on Martin.

 

[Disco]

Should have been a Warrior penalty for sure

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Warriors dudded there, Salmon hit Martin late high (headclash) but play on 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah, can't quite believe that was let go. Had the opportunity to check it and said it was perfectly fine.

Such a shame one of those field goal attempts from Harris-Tavita didn't go over after the Warriors' forwards had absolutely busted their arses to give him the opportunity. Tough result.

Bad luck Warrior boys , but well played , but unlucky there at the end.

Nothing new.

Really it's on our boys, though. Never should have been in that position.

 

[NZWarriors.com]

Refs have been penalizing head clashes for a few seasons. Deemed reckless contact to the head.

 

[HoldenV8]

Bad luck Warrior boys , but well played , bit unlucky there at the end to not have one of those kicks go over.

They'll get their usual Monday morning apology from Annesley over the high shot not penalised.

Great quote from an unlikely source. Corey Parker on the difference between the Panthers and the Broncos: "When the game is on the line, the Panthers walk through the fire."
Maybe we should be lighting a few fires down at Brookvale.

I’m glad you mentioned Parker. I think his bias towards anything Qld had him as a sideline commentator. But it seems he has worked on that and finds himself in the Fox box now as a genuine commentator. He doesn’t go all troppo like some others. Makes some very good points throughout the game ( although he did say the Warriors had to front load their energy today).

And he doesn’t stop mentioning a bunker stuff up ( the Salmon/Martin one). Blocker did his usual throw away line of " but anyway we play on". Parker continually asked, "how is that cleared?".
Until the producers in his ear, telling him to tow the bunker line.

It’ll be an Annersley " yes, we got that one wrong, next question…".

 

[The '47ers]

It’ll be an Annersley " yes, we got that one wrong, next question…".

Or blaming Martin somehow

Great tackle!

 

[HoldenV8]

Hughes may well blow up at his supports there ... but he's the one who passed it straight into his own decoy runner. That was a poor pass IMO.

Or blaming Martin somehow

"What you fans are too thick to understand is...."

That's the usual.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

That Wishart kiddy is a very handy player. Wish Rueben could play the brother-in-law card there, like Jurbo/Turbo/Burbo did for Waddell…

 

[NZWarriors.com]

Man Hughes can turn it on. Love him playing for the Kiwis not so much for the Storm.

 

[NZWarriors.com]

Damn that was a good try. Hughes is good to watch when he is on and playing eyes up football.

I which we'd score tries like that and not be restricted to within the opposition 20.

 

[NZWarriors.com]

Wahs are back playing their footy now. AFB still doing nothing too

219 metres from 20 runs… 94 post contact metres suggests otherwise

 

[NZWarriors.com]

So that was a professional foul and the referees were wanting to know if it should be a penalty try.

Earlier in the year we had DWZ tackled in the in goal like that and actually hand caught it. A penalty try wasn't considered. The referee said they don't give penalty tries for those.

Even had people on a podcast saying they are never given. Name an example. My argument was 90% of them are in the field of play so name an example where it is in the in goal.

Galvin reminds me of Foz.

He is gonna be a star.

Ref taking the tigers back 15m. Lucky they held on
