How does Wighton stay on the field saying that to the ref!? Consistency.. not

man, that just made the Raiders look SOOOOOO bad for a top 8 team

I hope people see how much one player (Luke Brooks) makes to a very ordinary Tigers. They were getting absolutely lapped without him. He'll be a godsend for Manly.

I have watched a few games of Brooks this year and i think he will be very good for Manly.

I'd love to see another angle of the Brooks try. From the hard camera, he looked at least half a step infront of Api.

He was definitely offside.

They ARE bad, way higher than they should be on the ladder. They are the one outlier on the table.

NOFO could have put it down ffs

Game is on the line and he doesn't even go for it. Just so dumb.

I have no idea what he actually said, but Wighton was charged with a grade 1 contrary conduct for questioning the integrity of the ref. It's his 3rd such charge and will get a $3k with the Early guilty plea

Someone said a Tigers player threw a ball at an official?

I wasn't sure if it was at an official, but Daine Laurie threw a temper tantrum and threw the ball over the sideline when the ref didn't give his team a fresh set of six part-way through the second half.

It was actually a good call from the officials too. Laurie grubbered into Wighton, Wighton didn't extend the foot or show any intent to play at it, so when Laurie dove on it and was tackled it was a turn-over. Laurie got up mouthing off and was marched.

Would have been interesting to see if anything came up on the microphone. I wonder if our detectives at FoxSports will release the audio?

No audio from Hynes. Limited audio from other players swearing at the refs since Walsh. I doubt we'll hear anything from this either. Maybe I'm being too cynical?

On the NRL website the have a video clip with the top 10 plays from round 23 ... the number 8 best play of the weekend was the Raiders try that Annesley just admitted the refs ****ed up by not calling a forward pass from Wighton

Anusley has now said that, due to the number of dangerous high tackles (and therefore sin bins & send-offs), teams and players have all been warned to lower their targets, or there will be consequences.

I'm just sweating on a silly high tackle from one of our guys that is now going to get massive media scrutiny and we'll lose someone important for an extended period.

It’s just stupid. Not all high shots are equal. If a player is upright and the defender launches off the ground, that should be a sin bin / send off but if a player is falling / ducking, that shouldn’t be a sin bin.

Makes too much sense to implement.

To be honest, in light of the CTE stuff, anything high and with force does need to be binned. It's the only way to get it out of the game. You can't tell a player in his '40s that can't remember what he did yesterday that "yeah but you were falling at the time".

Players should aim for the waist or lower chest. Or they start rewarding a one-defender legs tackle. How they do that I don't know, because you should be rewarded for isolating one defender and dominating for a quick PTB.

Sure but if a player IS falling at a rate of knots and if he hadn't, he would have been hit in the chest / stomach, a defending player cannot break the laws of physics. I have been saying this for a while now, the NRL is penalising / sinbinning / suspending players who literally could not have done anything different because physically, they cannot react quick enough to change. There has to be an understanding of reality with these decisions. It is a contact sport, players will get hit in the head from time to time. If you want to disobey the laws of physics, then league cannot be played. There has to be some common sense.
