'12 | R17 | Fri | Broncos 12-26 Sharks | Suncorp

[Alan Johnson]

f**k Jeremy Smith is grubby as f**k. That's his 4th swinging arm.

It wasn't Jeremy Smith.

 

[Karl]

Guys a menace.

 

[hunters]

Bullshit call. It was a tackle, not a shoulder charge. High contact was incidental.

Mind you, no. 17 for the Sharks was well offside and came within 10m.

That's irrelevant I'm afraid.

Some questionable calls giving the Broncos a leg up here.

 

[Jason Maher]

Hoffman did not duck. Hoffman went in very upright with a shoulder and hit him flush in the head with it. Intent is irrelevant when it's reckless. The margin of error in a charge like that is low, you want to try it fine but screw it up and 🔫

It was a tackle, not a shoulder you blind fool.

 

[the dude]

Sharks looking as good as I've seen them.

 

[Dutchy]

Wade Graham is a beast!

 

[Hutty1986]

Top game so far. Sharkies deserve a bigger lead, absolutely belting them

 

[andrew057]

It wasn't Jeremy Smith.

Yes it was.

 

[Karl]

Yeah maybe if you keep nagging he'll change his mind

 

[MSIH]

Well Teo was going for a shoulder charge. Graham was going for a regular tackle (trying to wrap him up in goal) and the player ducked- could have ducked his head into any part of the tackler.

The previous two tackles on Hoffman were the same, and the referees didn't have an issue with them.

It's pretty clear cut to everyone bar Broncos fans.

 

[Bretto]

That's better from the Broncos. Finally got some ball.

Whether someone goes for a shoulder charge, a tackle, or a swinging arm, you cannot make contact with the head. The type of tackle is irrelevant. I guess only us Broncos fans can understand this?

 

[Jason Maher]

Refs have got the Broncos back in it.

 

[wibble]

Well, Broncos get 4 home town decisions in a row, had to lead to a lot of pressure...

 

[carlosthedwarf]

Not hard to score on the back of a bunch of penalties.

 

[Karl]

It was a tackle, not a shoulder you blind fool.

Yeah, lots of arms involved.

 

[no name]

refs get the Bronscs over the line.
Peter Wallace performs a straight forward leg pull right in front of the ref, no call.
Followed up by a dubious penalty against the Sharks.

 

[DJShaksta]

Gifted to them by the refs

 

[Hutty1986]

Some questionable calls giving the Broncos a leg up here.

And there you go. Completely different game at 16-4, possibly 6

 

[Pugzley]

Finally the Broncos score after a leg up from the bullshit Bronco's scrum.
