Other Games - Round 7, 2018

[hozza]

WTF has our game become. Cat Slater falls over and dives and refs send a player off the field for 10 minutes. Bargeass smashes a half flush across the jaw, and STAYS on the field and continues playing... I just don't get it. Too many admin and officials with their head up their a$$e$ being OCD about isolated etails and lose the balance of the big picture...

Not to mention Croker being sent off for tackling Souths player a millisecond early. Disgraceful

 

[The Who]

I just don't understand the NRL's refusal to admit the sport needs a five-minute sin bin. It's a simple rule addition.
Also, get back to one ref and make the team that scores kick off.
Gee this sport could be improved so easily.

You guys dunno what yer talkin' aboot

"Intentionally released from the hands and then kicked immediately when it rebounds off the ground."

Except Slater actually admitted to Klein right after he 'scored' that he dropped it cold and the kick wasn't intentional.

This is a complete fvcking joke by the NRL.

Taking a leaf out of Manly’s late season 2014 marketing playbook.

NRL referees boss Bernard Sutton has declared the whistle-blowers were right to award Billy Slater’s controversial ‘drop-kick try’ on Friday night – but Billy Slater’s half-time interview proves they got it wrong.

Slater crossed in the 10th minute of Melbourne’s 34-20 victory over Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium for a try Wayne Bennett described as a ‘game-changer’.

The veteran Storm full-back gave himself up as soon as he grounded the ball from an attempted grubber kick that hit the ground before it struck his boot, shaking his head and telling team-mates he had knocked on.

But referee Ashley Klein, who told Broncos skipper Darius Boyd that Slater is ‘entitled to drop-kick it’, sent the decision upstairs as a try and The Bunker gave the green light.

Once again the NRL refs have opened up a can of worms.

West Tigers do not look that good with out 90% of the possession.

How poor are the West Tigers.Last week they looked like premiership favourites. I guess even an average team can win with 90% possession. Unfortunately the NRL is all about who the referee likes.

We made the Tigpies look like premiers but they look rudderless in attack. Amazing what happens when they actually have to do their share of the tackling.

They need subtitles up anytime Hodges mumbles.

Great to see the Tamworth faithful turn up in droves. Great place, and would be happy if Manly took one to Scully Park in the future.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

They need subtitles up anytime Hodges mumbles.

And if you had your eyes closed, you would swear it was some 65-70 year old broken down stumblebum from Normanton or Kurumba doing the talking.

I don't rate them. If we had even share of ball at the beginning of last week's match we would of won.

If possession was 50/50 Manly would have won easily.

Another terrible decision. Great hit is penalised, turning into touch footy..

 

[Eagle2830]

Why are newcastle playing in their miners jerseys and especially against the tigers. Who makes these dumb decisions

Another terrible decision. Great hit is penalised, turning into touch footy..

An absolute smashing tackle around the chest... wasn't even close to the head.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Amazing how small decisions falling to one team's advantage changes the whole game. And surprise, surprise, the media fairytale team getting the dubious benefit of the calls again
