Round 12: Other Games (2018)

[manlyfan76]

The NRL should just come out and say that Brisbane have made the finals for this year and stop the charade.

For a split second on Footy Show I thought Maguire with beanie looked like Wolfman lol

 

[Kevinward777]

Cant watch two teams that piss me off . There's no winners.

The only way to watch a game between two teams you despise is to bet on one of them. Had this conversation with the wife tonight.

 

[Kevinward777]

What a shock. 5 straight penalties to the perfect Donkeys against an undisciplined Eels followed by 5 straight penalties to the perfect Eels against an undisciplined Donkeys plus the usual sin bin which will be squared up with a donkey in the bin in the second half.

Same script every f...ing game. Rugby League has become a total and utter joke.

Worst of all... on Fox tonight, one of the commentator’s (Vossy I think) made a comment about the pattern of penalties in games. He said very matter of fact “that’s the way a game of football goes these days” He said it like it wasn’t a bad thing. More like it’s part of the game, like a scrum. I watched Illawarra v Newcastle game this week featuring a young Trent Barrett. Fair dinkum, the game has been destroyed.

I thought the nrl were instantly going to fix the slow player walk off after a sin binning....?

*watches Jennings crawl off and the game held up from his slow walk off*

 

[Kevinward777]

It's been strangled to death by over refereeing, just like Union.

Yep, they all want to be like Bill Harrigan...rock star referees. Old Billy, for all his dash, could actually officiate a game of football when he wanted to.

 

[midsteyne]

I can't believe I'm saying this....but I would rather Brisbane win and keep Doesn't-matta nailed to the bottom of the ladder.

But if worst comes to worst, a GP draw will do.

I am stoked the Donkeys won seeing Dosntmatta not have a clue is great but it was a sh#t win for the donkeys fans,nothing to brag about at all,they should have put 40 on the squeels

 

[HoldenV8]

Agreed there. Brisbane weren't all that good last night and if Doesn't-matta were a better team they might well have won.

TEAM UPDATE: Billy Slater and Christian Welch come out of our squad for tomorrow night.
Slater will miss Friday night’s game as a precaution with hamstring tightness #purplepride

And if you lose ?

 

[niccipops]

I thought the donkeys were as bad as the eels but of course had referee assistance. Parra did shoot themselves in the foot on many occasions - onya parra! But the fact that Brisbane have won so many games on their dodgy form is seriously questionable.

 

[BOZO]

And if you lose ?

You snooze and booze 😉

They’ve had MANY MANY legs up in season 2018, it’s embarrassing really!

 

[Ryan]

Anyone seen that video on FB of the ref high fiving the Bronco player after giving a penalty against Parra? W T F?

 

[Brendan Tran]

Despite being sick of JTs winging to the ref, he is entitled to know who forced the ball out during that dropout. 2 times tonight the bunker should have called the decision back in both games

 

[HoldenV8]

Barrett should show Manly the vision of Munster's FG.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Barrett should show Manly the vision of Munster's FG.

He'd have to recognise what it was first... probably scratching his head wondering what the Storm just did.

 

[MissKate]

How bad is the reffing in the rorters/tits game. Ash Taylor sin binned just like Hodko did last night - for a random infringement. Tits player then does a blatant professional foul and gets away with it, Nathan peat comes in and throws a punch, doesn't even get looked at. Refs either incompetent or corrupt, take your pick

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Refs either incompetent or corrupt, take your pick

Can I take both?

 

[MissKate]

@Ron E. Gibbs - Of course you can

 

[mave]

Just broke the golden rule changed my tip to the Rabbits.
Congratulations to the Warriors on your victory.
