Fmd - ridiculous 2 weeks for that...
Grrrrrrrrrrr....
Disgusting to hear in that article that AFB was racially taunted as he left the field.
Wouldn't expect any less from that club.
Boyle has a lot of ability but is coming back from a major shoulder op and couldn’t crack Burleighs run on side two weeks ago. He went ok for Blacktown but if he replaces AFB I’ll be very surprised. Let’s just say he will be light years away from AFBs output.The only positive here is that this is Boyle’s chance to step up. Watch him go! When AFB comes back we will have a very mean pack!
Thanks Sue but I watched Boyle the last 2 weeks and like what I saw. I’m not for one moment suggesting he is as good as AFB but I’m hoping he will step up and rise up through the ranks into the 17.Boyle has a lot of ability but is coming back from a major shoulder op and couldn’t crack Burleighs run on side two weeks ago.

You simply can’t keep losing world class players and expect fringe first graders to replace them. There is no silver lining in any of this .We have three stars on the sideline now and only one of them injured. Lose the next two and it s back with the strugglers again. So frustrating as we are showing great signs.
Out of interest, do we know who was on the mrc panel this week
Whats even funnier again and very obvious, during the Souths game there was a Manly player tackled and a Burgess on the ground, after the tackle fully completed, gives a swinging forearm to the players head which connected ( I think Jetski copped it)....because he didn't fake and just "Got on with it" - not even a penalty.
Now this is exactly what the 'Review committee" should be acting on....yes AFB was sloppy, but it was a reactive tackle on a player almost on the ground and 10 minutes as their coach Brown confessed, was certainly more than adequate for the crime....what happened from the Burgess incident ?
You guessed it - NOTHING !!
Everything the NRL reacts to these days is just a PR show to make things look good.
AFB suspended as it looks bad.
Badge and his offsider dropped for what happened at the Cows game as it looks bad despite them following protocol.
Although I can't figure MacGuire not getting charged for an eye gouge, the NRL said the video evidence wasn't conclusive. Munster reacted immediately so there was something.
It was to me when shown last night on The Back Page and Anasta agreed.
Maybe Scam Smith has a role in this by advising Munster to not make a formal report so MacGuire would not be rubbed out for a long time and therefore not able to play for QLD in Origin 1.I asked my 8yo son to watch it and then asked him what he thought happened, he only saw it the once and I didn't pre-empt him with an answer.
"Did he try to stick his fingers in his eyes? Why did he do that? Did he get in trouble?"
And the NRL always crap on about the image of the game - what kids & mums think - but no, we couldn't actually see enough to charge him with anything more.
WTF?

The dummy half was almost next to Guerra. Aren't they meant to be behind the ruck 😎Ugh, I just watched the match highlights again and not only was Guerra's try a total stitch up but to get 2 weeks for that tap on Pearce proves the 'fish rots from the head'
Gawd I hope we win the premiership this year!!!
