Michael Ennis

[Razor]

What do you suggest? A smash-o-meter? Something that can tell whether a blow to the jaw is enough to send someone into Disneyland?

A lie detector machine wheeled out every time someone gets knocked out?

It was obvious he was faking. He even looked up before deciding he would be pretend to be injured. Then surprise surprise as soon as the penalty was awarded he made a miraculous recovery.

Wake up...you can get suspended for accidents, they grade it 'careless'.

You can get suspended for careless tackles, but they aren't classified as foul play. Only Reckless and Intentional charges are classified by the NRL as foul play.

Yes, and careless means accidental.

I've always thought "foul play" referred to intentional illegal acts.

Just got myself off the lounge to check if there was a thread on Ennis. I'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks he is an absolute tool. BTW pound for pound he must have the biggest eyebrows in the NRL.

 

[jimmyo]

Dirtiest player in the NRL and not enjoyable to watch - his conduct on the field does more halm to the game than high tackles

 

[aids]

competative, but nothing worth all the carrying on in this thread.
as mentioned Princes drive was a 9, ennis's was a 5

Shane Tronc eats eyebrows like that for breakfast

Bingo.

Easy to accuse a player of taking a dive.

Impossible to prove.

Agreed. but Tronc is in Super Heavyweight while ennis is maybe cruiserweight

Apparently Ennis is getting deported back to Italy for the National Soccer Team. He escaped after the world cup....

 

[smeghead]

No problem at all with the two plays running his line.

Prince & Friend must have attended the same classes at NIDA with Ennis as they are all over-actors.

 

[scottyeel]

Wayne said that Brisbane players don't dive, so he must have really been hurt.

 

[Hanscholo]

Once again he showed just what a cat he is in the GC vs Broncos game tonight. Two dives, several attempts at drawing nigling penalties. If he was on the GC we would have had bennett up in arms about it.

The push he did in back play when the broncos scored that last try was a shocker.

He pushed the titans player, and then tripped over him, then, knowing he may get penalised, he hits the deck pretending to have a cramp.

If that was a try to win the game, and he was penalised, I reckon Bennet wouldn't be too happy at all.

It sure looked like Ennis was acting ... but penalising someone for acting is impossible. Any laws would be unenforceable.

What makes Prince any better than Ennis? He took a dive as well trying to milk a penalty.

 

[ledzep]

Prince's dive was ridiculous

 

[madunit]

Did I say either was better?

What makes Ennis worse is the quantity of grubby incidents he involves himself in every week.

No one comes close to him.

The quality of grubby incidents ...? Is that kinda like the grading system for high shots? I didn't realise there was a scaling system for grubbiness.

Based on the fact that NSW pick Gallen and Bird, Ennis is a special for this year's NSW Origin team.

I'm not supporting Ennis' actions ... if anyone can set him straight it will be Wayne Bennett. Broncos are the least penalised team in the league (according to the Nine Commentators).
