Sadly, it’s a far better comp to watch these days. Big hits get rewarded, not penalised. Dives aren’t accepted as much and the crowds are better. Sure the standard is ‘lower’ but decisions are far less of a lottery. And the commentators are so much better.

Tbf, They still have the issue at the moment similar to the NRL where some of the bans are decided by the seriousness of the injury.

I actually don’t have a problem with that IF the injury is caused by clear foul play, not an accident.

Wonder if he's tried to change his running style to avoid another hamstring injury and jn doing so created another issue?

Luke Metcalf at warriors atm is going through something kind of similar where he's done his hamstring a few times now so they're trying to adjust his running style so it doesn't keep happening




Apparently for Turbo it`s his side steps that wreck his hammies .
And only on one side .

Annercelery has said the outcome of a hip drop is important - there you have it - the NRL are admitting they make their judgments based on injury, every player has just been given even more of a licence to dive.

Is it really so much to ask to have some competent people in NRL officialdom?

I thought Paix milked it by grabbing his knee when the Para player fell on his leg . He seemed fine once the whistle was blown .

TMM breaks a leg in a hip drop… crickets…



Smash em bro

Are you sure it was a hip drop ?
I remember watching it at the time and it seemed pretty innocuous .
Next thing he`s off with a broken leg .

Agreed, I hate diving with a passion, especially when my own team does it but this is what awful officialdom has led to.

That’s not what happened at all, in fact it was basically the opposite. He grabbed the back of his leg (not his knee) for a second but got straight up and played the ball. The ref blew the penalty into the next play.

Good thing Paix didn’t dive then.

That wasn't his point in that instance.

The point was where the player lands. So for instance there was a tackle in the game where Flegler had a hold of Paulo, swung his body into Paulo but his hip was already on the ground when he made contact with Paulo's body, hence it wasn't a hip drop.

Later on he did elaborate that the MRC take injuries into consideration and whether the MRC feels the player was fairly punished on the field.

I'm still unsure how the Hopgood one received a lighter charge.

good discussion from the blokes about the hip drop ... and by good discussion, i mean they spend plenty of time slamming the NRL.

He has a metal plate for life in his leg and can’t play rugby for 3 months. Nothing innocuous about it.

What was innocuous was what started this whole thing which was the sib-inning of Nuikora and suspensions for 2 weeks for something that wasn’t a hip drop.

So it hurts even more as a warriors supporter when the game does something wrong and nothing at all.

How the **** is that a penalty?

HIA isn't a deterrent cos it's a free interchange. Perhaps it should only be free only if the player can't return to the field.

That way the fakers will run the gauntlet and cost coaches tactical changes.


A bit left of field

I assume this is pretty similar to what goes on at Tigers training.
As soon as he said Te Teko I was trying to see if I notice the background. Not my home town by the looks of it.

Reminds me of my under 13s training. We'd be playing touch while the coaches played on our bikes.

The kids would have found that talk funny with their mates getting teased. Probably get some parent complaining nowadays.

The thing that pisses me off about these crackdowns that come from nowhere is the longer term consequences from the weighting system.

Lodge was nullified out of the game by last year's high contact crackdown.

This year Niukore had a completely innocuous high tackle in the third round and his hip drop that the NRL used to make a statement and get things rolling on their crackdown. Now, Niukore whose abrasiveness is his strength can't fart without future suspensions.

A borderline hip drop in a desperation tackle on a rampaging Talakai resulted in a penalty a full set after the incident, a sin bin, a farcical two week suspension, and a potentially season altering points weighting. Is a quadruple penalty for a non-intentional incident really a fair outcome?

Jeez that was a massive hole.

Poor defence Dragons. Roosters on the board already.
