The nrl couldn’t even follow their own script 😉
 
Yeah I was really annoyed at Crichton dropping his knees into Bullemor's back after his try. Turbo got kneed in the head by someone at one point too.

In fairness to Crichton he was just trying to jump over him right when Bullemor started to get back up. That was nothing more than an accident. It wasn't intentional IMO.

I disagree, I replayed it a few times and Crichton was out of his way and slowed down and then got back up and proceeded to hit Bully’s head with his knees but played it off like it was an accident. 100 percent intentional IMO.

Each to their own. The players played it off like there was nothing in it but who knows, the MRC might find something to fine Crichton for.

I agree, the try was well and truly scored, Crichton went out of his way to make it "accidentally" happen.

I don’t think the MRC will pick it up, I just think it was a sly dog act (no pun intended) 😅
 
Brilliant win!

Can anyone explain to me where or when Crichton grounds the ball for his try?

Also how forward was mahoney’s dummy half pass in the Kikau try?
 
Gutsy win. We need to play better though to make it past the Chooks. I thought the Dogs would try to score a try at the end rather than settle for field goal.

Sadly his fingers got to the ball before Talau's arm did. There was the old cigarette paper in it, but it was a try. Not that it should have been in the first place because no way should Talau have been penalised for his hit on Connor Tracey. That penalty was far more about the reaction to Tracey staying down than it was to the tackle itself.

As an aside on that try ... Turbo couldn't (or wouldn't.....) dive for that ball.
 
Big shout out to the many Sea Eagle supporters who went to the game today. Vastly outnumbered but big in voice, well done guys.
We need a headcount on all of them that went to make sure they’ve all come back alive, the amount of grubby comments from dog fans I’ve seen in comment sections of them threatening violence is 🤮

I reckon if Burton got decent service from dummy he would of nailed it but Mahoney choked lol 😝
