2021 R2 Thu - Parramatta 16-12 Melbourne @ Bankwest

[Bazal]

Not sure why folks still give RCG shit, he was shit towards the end at Penrith but he's been very good for us.

Gutho is the King

Solid defensive effort by Parra. Gutho motm by a long shot

I think he’s been great for you, plays his role very well. But he’s just not a pack leader.

Gutho is a total Gutho.

It’s completely legal to smash a bloke lying on the ground who isn’t held. Next time someone tries that, the biggest prop on the other team should come screaming in and absolutely flatten the prick.

nope! Sam burgees got charged for putting a big hit on a voluntarily prone player

 

[myrrh ken]

This was 100 per cent intentional. He pleads innocence before his head hits the ground. Should have been sent. Hope he gets rubbed out for 6 weeks.

Geez if your takeaway from this game is that voluntary tackles in the dying minutes is the issue then you missed most the game. Storm chucked 800 forward passes and literally dropped an elbow on a blokes skull.

Complain about that rather than gamesmanship in the last five.

 

[Wizardman]

There is no rule, it's a wives tale.

I saw St Helens lose an ESL final (I don't remember if it was a semi or gf) due to a voluntary tackle. Chris Joynt gave away the penalty, the opposition kicked the goal to win the game.

Would players voluntarily lay on the ground as they do knowing that they will be a target for the defensive team to be as you smashed, or are they more likely to actually attempt to stay on their feet and attempt to run the ball towards the defence. I would think that it would more than liekly be the latter

 

[Rhyno]

Eels by 4 in the GF preview

Spot on the money again

Felice Kaufusi is the dictionary definition of "human garbage".

I genuinely hope someone gives him a taste of his own medicine.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Thats my place about now mate.

Good lad!

They could always run backwards Tony iron style

Particularly because, if the Storm had been in front, they'd have been doing from the 65th minute...it's always happened in the last minute or so and probably always will

 

[Eelementary]

The rules are f**ked - that cowardly piece of shit thug takes out one of our players, so we are a man down, and he gets to stay on the field.

Panthers fans - please tell James Fisher-Harris to make Kaufusi his batch next week.

I still remember this! StMerge were calling for points to be stripped from the Rams

 

[Eelementary]

I guess Storm are going to have lose 2 in a row then

Please, please belt the living daylights out of the Scum!

 

[AnonymousLurker]

Don't be silly.
Barbs is clearly MOTM tonight.

I thought it was billy slater for motm?

 

[shear_joy9]

Such arrogance from Bellamy thinking he could turn a career spud in Gennings into a first grade player.

and doesn’t Olam supposedly have a degree in physics or something? I assume it’s one of those degrees awarded while in international waters because he makes some complete bone head decisions in games

 

[This Year?]

That was a very gritty win from the Eels. Lane, Niukore, Moses and Gutherson were absolutely outstanding. RCG, Sivo and Mahoney were excellent as well. That defence esp on their line reminded me of the Eels of the early rounds from last year.

The Storm needed much more from Hughes in that game and I felt they played too much 1 out especially in the 1st half. Papenhuyzen had a great game though. Olam done fantastic before he threw the game away with that kick. Smith had a really tough night but he kept soldiering on.
I rarely praise the refs, but I thought Klein done really well tonight.

 

[natheel]

Will be the usual Parra game plan vs Storm. Do a crusher on every second tackle, the lay down dead at any hint of a crusher by the Storm

How ironic
