2 weeks for both as a minimum would do nicely ..ruled out of playing us.

They both should be gone for a month but won't be ..It's parra we are talking about.

You really have to question as to why those two whinging worms did not get a minimum sin bin for the crude attempts at stopping easts before half time. Remember that the chooks lost a guy to a fractured rib and potential punctured lung and were not allowed to replace this player due to toilet boy not being put on report as he should been, Its ironic that toilet boy scores the sealer and the chooks are done by injuries and inept officials denying them a chance to win.

This is the problem at Whinger park, too many times the Officials decide games in favour of the home team, it happened 3 times in a decade to us, 2010, 2016 and infamously 2020.

From what I saw last night the Whingers cannot win big games without refereeing intervention and the next time they play the Rorters I believe they will get their comeuppance!

Ginnane is without a doubt the worst caller in the game

100%, agree, absolute dribbler

 

[Brissie Kid]

Telegraph website headline "Brown to cop massive ban". Turns out its just 3 games if he takes the early plea. Maybe the NRL judiciary will ultimately decide, but for what he has been charged with and the damage caused to the Easts player and to the image of rugby league, no way that it is enough of a suspension and it is not "massive".

 

[Ranga]

Brown looking at 4 weeks off and Niukore looking at 2 - both out for our game.

I think the 18th man rule is a really good rule, but I think it has shown its limitations and is just another example of a rule that will have inconsistent application. Not only inconsistent application between different games, but even within games. That's why I would probably just have the 18th man able to take the field if the team has 3 or 4 game ending injuries, irrespective of how they occur. Take the refs out of the equation.

Bunker officials stood down as Hutchison incident has Robinson seeing red

A bunker official has been stood down for the rest of round nine after Trent Robinson described the handling of an incident that saw Roosters five-eighth Drew Hutchison hospitalised as "incompetent" and "ridiculous" in his team's 31-18 loss to the Eels on Friday night.

The NRL has stood down the bunker officials central to what Trent Robinson described as the "incompetent" and "ridiculous" handing of an incident that that saw Roosters five-eighth Drew Hutchison hospitalised in a 31-18 loss to the Eels on Friday night.

NRL head of football Graham Annesley said early on Saturday morning that the performance of the NRL video bunker, led by senior official Steve Chiddy, "did not meet our expectations".


question: If the officials are on contracts, what does giving them the rest of the weekend off achieve?

No docking of their pay, no fines and back in action next week!

I agree. The NRL could even go further by just having rules around the number and type of interchanges allowed. Don't worry about how many players a team wants to use. Let them use a fresh player for each interchange if they want as it won't make any real difference.

I'm still trying to decide if the knights can beat the faltering raiders.

Even though the knights are without Manly messiah Blake green.

 

[Simonmyers11]

If the slime couldn’t put a cricket score on the rorters tonight, with all the ball and field position that they had, then they won’t win the premiership this year.

So, it’ll be how many years of premiership drought, 37?

They scored off 2 lucky kicks and another off a dropped bomb from the Rooster's winger. With all the six to go's they got and possession they still struggled. Cannot see them as genuine threat

TBH I can actually see Canberra winning this one easier than people think.

 

[HoldenV8]

Ponga playing or not, there is no getting around the fact that the Knights pack is soft and to top it off, they don't have a decent halfback with both Pearce and Green on the injured list.

Slowly fading and seemingly disjointed or not, I think Canberra will just have too much class and firepower for Newcastle today.

The raiders have their own share of internal dramas, but I also think they will take the points today

Anyone know who the last interim coach to be sacked was?Hannay could be in strife

I believe John Morris is available🙂
