Saw the video of the team signing happy birthday to DCEs old man post match, have been waiting for the media to catch onto the fact that Tom wasn’t singing along lol

He doesn't get into the team song much either. I don't think he has the personality that enjoys that stuff.

He might not know the words.

I noticed when DCE embraced his teammates on full time, the exchange with Tom was very brief by comparison with some of the others…could be reading into things too much though

At least he is having a crack! Played well and that tackle on big Solomono was gutsy.

Maybe Tom’s not a touchy feely kind of guy!

Just sayin’

Hence the ‘could be reading into things too much’ comment

Yeah as well as Koulas dbl movement. I might be wrong but doesn't it have to be grounded on or over the line for a dbl movement? Pretty sure he was short.

Yeah, that call was a shocker.
Never seen a double movement penalty for not a actually getting to the line - how many times have we seen and heard "lucky he came up short or he would've been pinged for a double movement"?
Would have been interesting if we'd have challenged it, they couldn't possibly uphold it.
How close to the try line do you have to get for it to be deemed a double movement?

From the games l saw the standard of refereeing in this round had some very poor decisions at crucial times.

Or not wanting to risk injury?!?!?!

The penalty that won the Dogs the game was an absolute howler!

On the contrary, It’s disappointing that no one in the call mentioned that Simpkin was incapable of pressuring Grant from marker because of the elbow…it was the correct call given it’s not only an act of foul play, it directly impacted our defensive line.

I also think Hoffman’s (obvious Melbourne bias) comments in the media that Grant made minimal contact with Brooks and it was a terrible decision are forgetting that it’s much like every other protective rule in the game, in that it’s designed to deter as a way of preventing injury. Sure, Brooks was fine but no penalty there says fair game to the rest of the NRL and an eventual broken leg or ankle down the track.

They generally are… I have been watching these since the Chez announcement and they are more formal and never seem to be high energy…
