All NRL Games [Round 7, 2024]

[HoldenV8]

Annesley is as useless as any of them, the bloke is a fraud and should not be holding the job he's got, his sole purpose is to cover up the ineptitude shown by the whistle blowers and the bunker, the entire system needs an overhaul including training these muppets to control games consistently across all matches

Can't argue with that. But I will say that Annesley as the ONLY bunker official is something I have been calling for for a while now.

They say too many cooks spoil the broth. Now of course physically and geographically no one person can be the on-field referee at all of the games. But it is completely possible for one person to be the bunker official for all 8 games each round of the season. And that one being Annesley would take away a lot of the inconsistency in the decisions from game to game.

A different bunker official each game brings in different interpretations and zero consistency. One official only, that being the boss himself, would fix that.

 

[Rafferty]

Brailey, brilliant, to have that at 9.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

It’s 24-0 to the Gummies after 30 minutes

Surely the Ref / Bunker 🤡 will start their game management deal or is that only for the 🦅’s

For a Qld team playing in Sydney??

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

For a Qld team playing in Sydney??

That’s a point I guess

I saw a penalty , and two 6 agains for the Cowboys in that last set , but no , the ref 🤡 saw it differently.

 

[HoldenV8]

Did you know??

Manly currently have the 5th worst defence in the league having conceded 156 points. Only the Rabbitohs (196), the Eels and Titans (both 180) and Cowboys (174) have conceded more.

Yet we're 5th on the ladder.....I'll take being 5th with that record.

Should have been that way from the start of the bunker system.

1 fool in the bunker, preferably not knowing the current scoreline or penalty/6A count, gets patched through the play in question, makes a decision, and sends decision back.
The same fool does every game, every week, all year.

So BenjiBall confirmed.

Siebold has seemingly admitted as much anyway.

Every interview he talks about weapons. Never about defence.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Wow, Hetherington shaping up and threw a punch (?) or push to the chest of Marney in the tunnel. I guess with Hetherington we shouldn’t be surprised.

I'll reserve my judgement on whether or not we kept the right coach.

Still not completely sold that Seibold was as better choice than Flanagan.....

 

[Dion Johnson]

How many weeks for Jack?

Have the teams above us had byes?

Unless he can prove to the NRL he was just joking around (and confirmed by all present, including Mahoney), it’s hard to see anything but a severe suspension. I’m sure that’s not a look the NRL wants. Even if it was a joke, I could still see the NRL coming down on him because of the poor optics.

 

[Frogz]

That was a disruptor all last weekend. Stupid I know but different this week again.

 

[HK_Eagle]

I’d be farrrkkked if I know with any confidence what a farrrkkking disruptor is. It is the worse rule ever, and they need to pi$$ it off.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Come on ref 🤡 it’s 36-0

The broadcasters don’t want to see 50-0 , I’ve turned it off as it’s a **** game.

 

[The Wheel]

How come Cotter, Nanai and Holmes play like future immortals in Origin but play like chumps today?

 

[HK_Eagle]

How come Cotter, Nanai and Holmes play like future immortals in Origin but play like chumps today?

Because they understand what it means to be a hillbilly Queenslander.

 

[mave]

How come Cotter, Nanai and Holmes play like future immortals in Origin but play like chumps today?

Its currently called the Dane Gagai effect.

Previously known as the Marty Bella effect.

 

[HK_Eagle]

“Disruptor” is code for… “I’m the head of very important football stuff, and I’m really really smart and important.”
