Rd7 2026: Non Parra games

[the phantom menace]

I'm sorry I understand we've copped some bad ones with hip drops and stuff but that Dolphins one was definitely not intentional. Absolute disgrace

I'm not sure I've seen any of these "hip drop" tackles that are intentional?

Back in the day it was just good defensive technique - tackle bloke around the hips, hold on and slide to the ankles, bloke eventually falls over.

Now merkins seem to be submitting and getting injured from it every single time, with lengthy recovery times.

Sign Jenkins!

Just have to convince BA's wife to cook a dinner and then we're set!

Are they trying to compare to the Storm 'high tackle' to Moses' one? Give me a break lol

I think it happened in NSW Cup where a prop beat four of five defenders, then got tackled around the legs by a fullback, unfortunately the prop done his knee and the fullback was sin binned just for saving a try

I mean I don't know what tacklers are supposed to do now

On 9 Fittler looks like he's had work done, or is on the Ozempic jabs.

A hip drop is where the defender grabs the attacker around the torso then loses their legs which usually end up on the back of the attackers legs..

What you are talking about is a typical legs tackle.

Nikorima for a spilt second landed on Kenny which was enough of a hip drop.

Joke all you want, he claimed the years food bill on taxes.

BA playing 3D chess.

Not land on their legs with their own legs..
Thats it. But teams have been coached poorly in defence over the years which is why the hip drop is still around.

The tackle I was referring to was not even the case.

Poor Mitch Kenny.

Getting emergency surgery for a broken leg in Darwin is like ordering a fish dish in the country.

It’s done with best intentions but might well make you crook.

Wow, bit of a halftime reset for the Dolphins.... Kristian's Wolfe's team chat doing the trick?

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Are Panthers feeling the Darwin heat like us?

 

[senior]

Darwin is such a disadvantage for Sydney teams

Not worth the $$

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Did we have any drinks breaks up there?

 

[T-Boon]

I'm watching this thinking what sort of club would agree to go up there against Qld teams.

 

[senior]

We gotta sign Averillo

Dolphins figured out Penrith's trick and just got all the ball. Simple rugby league. One team gets to run. The other just gets to tackle.

Yep. Good to see Cleary trying to skateboard uphill for once.

Panthers look unft......

MON should just forge his signature.
