not at all Dave, just something that hasnt happened for 12 years ::Sutton misses knock on by Kikau - and Penrith score just before half-time as a result.
NRL offers explanation for Kikau’s missed knock on howler - but admit refs got it wrong

With Penrith losing tonight, the Storm will be deadset wanting to beat us on Sunday so that they can be on top of the ladder on for and against. However, if there is a will, there is a way and the Dragons players have got to pitch in with 100% effort in all aspects and their execution in both attack and defence has got to be spot on. Not too much to ask for really - is it?

i think the commentators were calling it Ted, but yes there is certainly different levels of scrutiny between games, we dont want to spoil the spectacle do we , especially when the premiers are playing,,,,
And from memory one quick replay then move on.
Everything we don't have and do ......
Seems to me that we are run by a management team of low life, gutless morons.
totally correct BBTB, its called self preservation, they know if we were allowed to vote they wouldnt have a job,,,
The game has certainly changed due to the numerous rule changes that the powers to be - in their wisdom - bring in over the off season .
Yes, it sickens me to watch this modern game. A bunch of self serving parasites. They are ruining our game for the money paid by NEWS LIMITED.The game has certainly changed due to the numerous rule changes that the powers to be - in their wisdom - bring in over the off season .
Of course the flag that they usually run up is to make the game quicker so that it is not defense oriented . However another reason is that the tele conglomerates would have a more attractive product to sell .
The day that the league sold the game to the media was the day that our beloved game began to go backwards . This six again crap is a blight on the game as are so many other changes that the NRL has introduced .
Of course I come from a time when there were only 13 players and 2 reserves ( usually 1 back and 1 forward ) and you only left the field if severely injured . Yes the game was tougher played by a breed a men that never faked injury , but nowadays we have sooks lying down and groaning and pointing their finger at the culprit who just gave them a shove in the wrong direction .
I would much rather have men playing the game tough than those spiteful hip drop and wrestling tactics which have become so prevalent in this day and age . And whilst I am on the subject what about the the gang tackling where you have 4 players holding their opponent up and then 3 of them release the player only to have the fourth player pull the ball out of his hand .
If the NRL truly believes that type of tackle is in the best interest of the game then they have peanuts for brains .
End of rant !
And yet the NRL/ARL are wanting to bring in an 18th team. The 17th team is battling to fill their quota of players let alone anyone decent and no doubt the 17th team will get a fair bit of the rub of the green to keep that club happy. I don't like the idea of an odd number of teams for the next few years. It sort of throws things out of kilter particularly with player movement.
Hang on, are you saying it’s the coaches fault?What's going on in the Sharks department? I thought they were the blue print on how to turn around a club in the space of one season!
PS. I love death riding these guys. I hope Fitzy learns in the long run that being an NRL head coach isn't a job you can pick and choose as a rookie and a job is a job at the end of the day!!!
Nah he's just learning the same thing as our coach that it doesn't matter what you tell blokes who are a bit thick between the ears, they go out and do whatever they want anyway!!Hang on, are you saying it’s the coaches fault?
I mean, Fitzy didn’t tell the players to drop the ball did he?
