sorry still catching up with games on replay tv.
the one i think i want to talk about the most though is the roosters game.
The commentary deserves a 1 out of 10. it was so biased it made me feel like, actually no i did yell at the box multiple times.
In the first 10 mins of the game JWH pulled the third penalty in a row while the broncos were camped on their line. In every other game thats been a send off with the commentators counting it down. But it was ignored. This shows me the first look at how Origin reffing will look.
Then there was the Victor Radley incidences. First was a jumping tackle. Deserved send off. Second from one angle shows forceful contact but i felt he was falling into it, however under new rules needed to be sent off again. However his 3rd and 4th were almost the same and IMO i dont know why he was allowed to stay on the field. He should have been sent for the rest of the game, and he should be facing a massive amount of time on the sidelines for weeks to come, but expect to see him back for game 1 origin where he will do the same again and get away with it.
His tackling style is exactly what the governance of the game is trying to get rid of, but he will be protected as one of the 'stars' of the game.
Now im up to page 33 and hopeful that others have seen this as well, looking forward to reading more.
