He's got the best chin in the game.
Perfect for a Gillette ad.

Younger version of John Kerry.

I've never heard of these new rules 🙄

CLUBS STUNG BY NRL’S SHOT-CLOCK WHIP

THE NRL’s determination to speed up the game this year has been a profitable move.

So far six goalkickers have been fined for taking longer than one minute and 40 seconds to take their shot at goal for a total of $12,000.

Storm’s Cameron Smith, Cronulla’s Shaun Johnson, Parramatta’s Mitchell Moses, the Broncos’ Jamayne Isaako, Canberra’s Jarrod Croker and the Bulldogs’ Rhyse Martin have cost their clubs $2000.

The Penrith Panthers have also been slugged $5000 for having former halfback and trainer Peter Wallace on the field after the fourth tackle.

All teams received warning letters after the opening round of the season about goalkickers wasting time.

Fewer penalties and quicker decisions from the Bunker have already improved the spectacle but head of football Graham Annesley is determined to ensure the kickers fall into line.

Dogs are up 12-0 over the Purple cheats... and playing some good footy at this stage too!

Penalty try just to make sure the purple scum get back in the game.

I was wondering when the refs were going to start giving square up penalties.

 

[Kevinward777]

What an absolutely disgraceful decision... no way is that a penalty try..., complete rubbish. Melbourne get all the favourable farkin calls week after week.

Beat me to it mate, refs making sure Dogs are no chance. No hiding it either, just blatant

 

[Kevinward777]

Can’t wait until Smith is finished..., absolute grub who has been given a carpet ride... obvious ability aside.

 

[Kevinward777]

Geez I like this Lachlan Lewis. Elgey needs to watch his positioning in attack. Dangerous and great kicking game.

Kid can play.

 

[47MVEagle]

If that tackle on Chambers had occurred in the field of play I doubt very much it would have been called as being tackled without the ball.

 

[Kevinward777]

Hoppa is a class centre.

No way in the world.

LOL at Scam's high top fade

LOL at Scam's high top fade

To be fair... his options are somewhat limited.

 

[KOMORI]

Braith Anasta’s crazy eyes are doing_my_head_in ffs... is he looking at the camera? The sound guy? The script??

 

[HappilyManly]

a little-known rule, if a ball is still moving after being kicked by the opposition and a player touches it while having a foot in touch, their side receives the feed at the scrum and it is equivalent to the ball going into touch

Fergie used this yesterday, Manly players need to get this into their game

 

[Kevinward777]

What a joke... forward pass... penalty Storm for an innocuous tackle which is deemed to be a crusher.

 

[Kevinward777]

I love how the commentary “team” gloss over every dodgy call that the Storm receive, but harp on about every 50/50 the Dogs get.

 

[47MVEagle]

Dumbarse Storm supporters cheering for a try after Chambers knocked on lol

 

[47MVEagle]

Jamal Idris 2.0 should have jumped over Hughes once he committed to tackling around his legs.

 

[The Wheel]

Penalties now 7 to 3 to Storm Greenturd obviously phoned the refs at half time
