Poore v Crocker

[strider]

I am kinda baffled by all the posts I see along the lines of - I loved seeing Poore belt Crocker

WTF?!?!

watch it again people - Crocker was all over him - Poore was lucky to get in one last glancing blow

don't get me wrong, I was up hoping he'd nail the dirty f'n cat, but watching the replay I was disappointed that crocker go the better of the little blue ... I'm still impressed poore had a crack tho :thumn

For a while there Poore just seemed stunned. His retaliation was almost an afterthought. It would've been nice if his punch connected better.

No one was all over anyone. Crocker got a shot in, missed about 6 times, then Poore got a shot in and it was over.

I loved seeing a fight period. Shame Poore landed only one blow at the end, it is Mick Crocker after all though.

 

[strider]

crocker's first punch f'n nailed poore - and he was on the defensive from then on ... i know not many more of crockers shots went near landing, but I'd hardly say that one last shot of poore's gave him a points decision

 

[Parra]

How was Barrett not flattened by a QLD'er after his cheap shot?

The game is nowhere near the same.

but when you throw the first punch and the other guy isn't really expecting it, you can't take much credit. It's a stationary target at that stage

f'n oath!!! ... it was great ... SOO has lost its attractiveness due to coaches who are too tactical nowdays .... the old days had coaches who's primary tactic was to belt sh*t out of the other team early on - ahhhh the memories

These are front rowers in a state of origin match that is do-or-die.

Whatever happened to "do it to them before they get a chance to do it to you"


IIRC, there was a bit of shoving for some reason that preceded any punch - so it should be expected, you could even say it was baited.

The push and shove was because Crocker is a cheap shot merchant and put his forearm into Poore's head on the ground

 

[Parra Guru]

Poore got the best shot in. Crocker threw lots but hardly connected. Crocker got dominated all night anyway

 

[Gronk]

It must have landed hard on Crocker's gob. Poore got some attention to his right hand by the trainer afterwards.

Crocker landed the best punch (the first one) and landed a couple softer ones after that. Poore had nothing although his last punch looked nice.

 

[Twizzle]

if anyone was being a cat it was Barrett's shot on Ingliss imo

There was absolutely nothing in it. Happens 50 times a match and it wasnt even his forearm, more like his palm.

Oh? Examples? It was a cheap shot, simple

 

[Bazal]

Wow...that wouldn't be a forearm on Poore's cheek, would it? :lol:

 

[strider]

ffs - that is the toughness of SOO - you WILL get your head stuffed into the ground .... this nancy pancy sh*t they have reduced standard NRL to might now call it a "cheap shot", but its f'n nothing really ..... should be more of it if it starts a brawl :lol:
