[perverse]

canberra can beat the best on their day theyre just never consistantly on their day!!!!

well, they managed to beat the absolute worst today. the roosters or the sharks would have pumped us tonight too.

 

[Pete Cash]

But what should he have done :lol: he was defending himself and had his hands tied up.

 

[Slackboy72]

I honestly do not see why its bad to use your knee to defend yourself if some bloke is pounding your face off.

I mean kneeing someone in the head unprovoked is a bit of a dog act, but he was defending himself. If Rogers didn't want to be potentially kneed he shouldn't have punched him.

God spare us...

 

[Pete Cash]

God spare us...

What is the difference between king hitting someone and kneeing someone trying to get him off you ????

Surely the king hitting is the dog act. I don't see why it is such a shocking thing. If some dude is king hitting you pull the kitchen sink out.

God spare us...

he was well within his rights to do anything to defend himself

Exactly it wasn't too blokes squaring off under professional boxing rules and then suddenly Daniel Vidot kneed him in the head from the clinch. It was a bloke king hitting someone and the person being king hit used his knee to get him off him.

Not much and that is why they both went to the bin.

 

[Slackboy72]

And another cheap shot. I'd really like to see this go on another twenty minutes.

 

[shear_joy9]

Not much and that is why they both went to the bin.

right.. so vidot should have allowed rogers to punch him without resistance

 

[Pete Cash]

Not much and that is why they both went to the bin.

Ok let me get this straight. A dude has just king hit you a few times on the jaw. Do you just go welp ok I am tied up with a thousand players around me with a dude trying to punch my head off, so I will just stand here and get punched rather than use my knee :lol:

If Rogers didn't want to get a knee, he shouldnt have thrown a punch. Its not a f**king boxing match. He blind-sided him and Vidot should have defended himself.

 

[nadine]

I'm thinking the Tigers might be even more peeved with that Manly result yesterday after the result in this match. :lol:

 

[Mal Meninga]

The knee was a reaction.

Would Vidot put his knee up if he wasn't being assaulted?

mate, dont you know its strictly queensberry rules after someone has clocked you with a cheapshot :sarcasm:

 

[nathanbrown'sghost]

Vidot pushed Rogers as Rogers did to Vidot. Vidot got punched in the face by Rogers and Rogers deserved to be binned and probably going on the Sharks game, sent off. Vidot was not without guilt, he started a bit of push and shove then got king hit and tried to knee him. A knee is a sin bin offense.

 

[Apey]

lol, sure the reffing was bad but the Knights were f**king sh*t... dropped the ball as much as possible... even with the slimmest of chance in the final 15 minutes there to turn it back into a contest, we dropped it.

I was quite surprised Rogers wasn't sent off :lol:

 

[Raider_69]

Congratulations Canberra - you just got gifted the game.

F**king joke.

Dont worry, the silly prick did everything in his power to get Newcastle a come back win in the last 20 minutes. He was a f**king joke all around

 

[Timbo]

Rogers king hit him about 6 times before Vidot responded in any way at all. How can you deny him the right to defend himself in that situation?

 

[Raider_69]

...and what a grub act from Harrison.

Now a try. Suck that canberra. Suck that Klein. Suck that Skeepe.

Wow, someone's abit shirty that canberra started the saints demise.
Understandably, if not for us you'd probably still be premiership favs...

choke on sir, choke on

his knee didn't even connect to start with (unfortunately).

if someone king hits you and continues to hit you, you should be allowed to do anything to protect yourself

 

[Pete Cash]

Vidot and Rogers ended up clinching and Vidot used a knee in an attempt to get him off him. If someone can explain to me why a knee in those circumstances is a terrible thing I would be pretty interested. People have the right to defend themselves.
