Other Games [Round 21, 2022]

Doggies had a real dig, but their completions let them down, just far too many errors handed easy ball and good position to the cows.

Hasn’t Billy Moore slipped so easily into a reboot of a retired RL forward of the 1950s, now commenting on the match of the day at the SCG, c.1972?

The look. The hairstyle. The voice. It’s all happening for the famous Queenslander(!) who hails from NSW

Tigers seem to lose something without Jackson there. Don't seem to have the same energy or enthusiasm. Hope they turn it around soon.

 

[EagleGT]

The refs are more powerful than the Baz

Yep. Cowboys in trouble. No worries: refs to the rescue.

Absolute classic double movement awarded a try.
Tackled short of the line: yes
Arm carrying the ball touched the ground: yes
Reached out from behind the line to put the ball over the line: yes
Everyone watching: no try
Bunker: TRY
Everyone watching: WTF?

I like Tuilagi ,am looking forward to him in the maroon & whites.
Runs hard ,hits hard.
Also like Madden ,hope the rumours earlier in the year were true that we are seriously looking into him.

 

[bob dylan]

Gagai couldnt tackle me.

If Newcastle lose this one, will they have a new coach by next Saturday night against the Broncos in Brisbane???

 

[HK_Eagle]

Newcastle are completely imploding. The Tigers have been pretty horrid in attack, yet may still pinch this.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Tigers today reminded me of those bad old Baz days when we looked completely lost in the attacking zone.

 

[HoldenV8]

Adam O'Brien survives another week I guess lol

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Adam O'Brien survives another week I guess lol

Just !!!

 

[HoldenV8]

Just !!!

By the skin of his teeth, literally.

That game really did live up to expectations from those two teams. If I were Newcastle I'd take the 2 points and run because there is nothing to be proud of with that one. The Tigers were literally all game long and the Knights only just beat them.

Looking at the news reports about the cowboys v dogs game...

All the reports were about how poor old cowboys were dudded by a bunker call with a 'knock on' call.

I couldn't find anything about the 'double movement' try.

On Friday, Storm hooker Brandon Smith was charged over a hip-drop tackle on Titans forward Tino Fa’asuamaleaui, with the Match Review Committee deeming the offence worthy of a grade one dangerous contact charge.

The Kiwis international will receive an $1,800 fine if he pleads guilty or $2,500 fine if he unsuccessfully challenges the charge at the judiciary.


-looks like bellyache got his way saying that he hopes the incident isn't graded due to the media's outrage over said tackles this week.

I thought grub tino was going to be injured for awhile, but he doesn't appear on any injury list.
