All NRL Games [Round 8, 2025]

[Rafferty]

What was surprising to me was even Bellamy and munster in the presser thought it was more of an accident and sort of stood up for Latrell in a way.

That’s it, because it was one of those situations where he was committed to a try saving tackle, with nowhere to go and no time to pull out of it, watching it in real time, what was he to do, it was just one of those footballing moments.

 

[The Insomniac]

There was plenty of force.
Unfortunately with Latrell suspended, Tommy will no doubt be selected for SOO.

Unfortunately Tommy playing SOO this year, in many eyes, would be equal to, or even more selfish than DCE playing. Surely he has to sit it out this year !

 

[Eagle 1]

Sipley’s 4 weeks is the joke……albeit a pretty piss poor one…..

They go on what damage was done to the player in the tackle, and how long he'll be out for.

That might be ok when there’s intention, not so great when there may be mitigating circumstances or accidental contact.

 

[Eagle 1]

Lawton not in the 17 again, hope the money makes up for not being in 1st's.

 

[mickqld]

Is it just me or is the Cowboys stadium the dumbest most wasteful design I've ever seen for a rectangular football ground.

Sorry Rafferty, my comment was aiming to be a cynical comment.

 

[Uk eagle]

I think Angus actually got a penalty or six again for ruck infringement when he continuously assaulted the player trying to tackle him.

I'm sure it was a six again and he stepped off the mark when he played the ball.

 

[Uk eagle]

The jersey manufacturers are going to have to start putting extra reinforcement on the collars. Whenever there's a "scuffle" all of the players collars are stretched and twisted from all of the jersey pulling.

No, not just you Mick. It gets brought up often in this household too.

Near every try in this Cows v Titans game is on the back of penalties or 6 agains. NRL has become a managed , choreographed joke of a sport. Referees with way too much power to influence the momentum of a game.

And the sin bins for inconsequential taps to the head are a blight on the game. Fair enough for proper foul play but because an attacker slips or lowers into the defender? There's got to be something better

 

[Rackets]

Not forgetting any contact to the head now, whether it be a love tap or accidental is 10 min in the sin bin. This sport is dying a slow death. I get what the NRL are trying to do, but it's become a joke now with some of the most stupidest decisions

It’s making games unwatchable. No longer a fair contest to see which team is the best.

Yep as usual the refs and bunker clowns have gone from zero to 100 and just fuking over every game with this sin bin insanity. As usual it won't be seen at Origin or finals time. It's dead set clown town running the game.

 

[Brookie1973]

Agreed. It looks like half the roof covers a section that is outside the ground.

Can they not see how much they are ****ing the game up? Another game that was actually looking like an enjoyable contest has been ruined by ref interference. And the brain dead commentators just keep raving about how great the “open contest” is.

Sounds like commentators on NRL payroll...
Getting sick of it!

I reckon the sporting agencies should start having bets on which players will be sin binned for head high tackles now, just like first try scorer, or anytime try scorer. But remember, gamble responsibly.

I can guarantee you at least one manly player will be in the bin tonight.
