[EaglesDontTweet]

Can someone post it, because I will not sign up for an NRL account for anything

I was expecting a rant from Des, but he remained cool & stated his case.
well done, Desideratam.

 

[Disco]

Before The Knight's presser, some numpty called Jake was making comments about Des, and he didn't realise he was getting filmed...

Who is this jake clown? Anyone know?

What did he say?

 

[wombatgc]

The line Annesely will have a sleepless night and wake up with his usual headache Monday morning was a good dig.

Along with he is expecting a call from him.

Put Jake Duke in his place.

Well done Des, challenge them as they are completely inconsistent..

I loved it when the the old school teacher came out and schooled that wanker Jake Duke. Subtle, but effective.

 

[BH72]

well said..'ably assisted'

Agree. Also, I like how Des didn’t say Cummins was bad, but that “he’s a much better referee than that...” (meaning tonight, of course)

 

[Frogz]

Well said Des...there is no $10k fine in any of that...Its what all the coaches would be thinking...Except Twenty, he doesn't think much at all. The game is f#cked

 

[The better Robbo]

look at Keppie first point of contact. His chest hits the shoulder of Crossland.

Then look at Frizel on Marty.

Keppies on normal speed looks bad buts it’s the momentum of the tackle. If he gets charged they should fight it. Not sure why Frizel didn’t go to the bin.
Now the 3rd one - this is from the reverse angle and see Marty gets Saifiti’s shoulder to his jaw first before his shoulder hits Saifiti’s hence why he was thrown back in making the tackle. Saifiti was also bending in his knees.

Hopefully if charged the club can fight these out as Saifiti didn’t even need a HIA which is what I thought the sin bin rule was brought in for.

Keppie's was all whiplash. It wasn't even high, I don't think he will miss a game for that!
Taupau was unlucky cos as you said Saifiti has dropped 1 foot in height on impact.
Frizell's was worse than both and not even a penalty...I like that we are not soft and lying down but it is costing us!

Vlandy's is a fabulous administrator and he has been great for League through COVID etc but his changes to rules mid season and without consultation needs to stop. He needs to be in charge - he is damn smart and great for revenue generation and therefore great for the game etc but he needs to back off and stop the in season rule changes and ensure all changes are consulted fully and agreed to or else he is gone. I hope the player revolt wakes him up.

Given the current climate/crackdown,I have no problem with all three being penalised,dubious whether or not any deserved time in the bin.But what I can’t understand is why didn’t the bunker pick up the Frizell hit earlier,meaning Manly missed out on a penalty,especially given he was put on report.

Agree. Given that it’s a contact sport, the whole thing reminds me of the Apocalypse Now movie quote,

”It’s like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500...”

Is there a link to the footage of this? What did he say?

Papalii got 3 weeks for a similar tackle with player falling and with Marty’s record he may get up to 5. Hopefully common sense prevails and like Hetherington gets only fined and he had 2 high shots within a minute yesterday. No wonder players want to revolt against Vlandys.

We all saw it for what it was. A blatant fix of a game to appease the moron masses.

To trigger happy Vlandy’s, can’t live off past results, credibility is an extent to how Vlandy’s likes to be believed, or more accurately perceived to be believed.

I'm just surprised it didn't happen last week but that's because Parra were too dumb and sh&thouse to take advantage.

 

[ALinda]

Well said Des, had to be done. I thought his answers were measured and well considered. Sure put Jake Duke back in his place. Clever response to Annesley question.

Is he though? Both Fox Sports and Nine are paying less fees to the NRL under the new TV deal - meaning that the NRL has less revenue.

No wonder they had so many Puff pieces on him before he was installed...

The AFL were back playing a whole week after the NRL last season. So V'Landys' value here is grossly overstated

ANALYSIS: The new NRL deal for broadcast rights does good things for Nine - AdNews

“Nine remains well positioned as ad markets recover."

How about when Fitzgibbon got a head knock tackling Keppie towards the end of the game when it was 12-10. He was on about halfway and went down in the play of the ball but was holding onto Keppie’s leg deliberately. Keppie placed the ball, but couldn’t stand because his leg was being pulled.

It was the most blatant ruck infringement I’ve seen and yet no penalty, AND play on even though Keppie dropped the ball and fell over.

Shocking referring which would’ve seen us attacking their line with a full set rather than kicking from the 40.

This was the worst call of the game by a mile. How that wasn’t a penalty is ****ing ridiculous
