He was held my his legs. Tackled.

You are kidding right? It was obvious that he slipped out and no hand was on him.

Also interested to see what happens to Pritchard at the judiciary. Seemed very similar to the Dwyer hit last year and the cutie hit on Anasta a couple of years back.

I'm fine with the refs penalising a shot like that if they're consistent but half the shoulder charges you see these days end up contacting the head.

As a sharks supporter, i would have loved for it to have been called held, but that doesnt excuse our boys for once again dropping off and expecting a penalty, completely forgetting the age old saying "Play to the whistle".

I suggest you find yourself a replay - NRL.com highlights video shows it. Nobody was touching him when the momentum of the tackle had stopped, he had every right to get up and keep going. Play on every day of the week.

fair try IMO

sharks had more than enough ball to win the game.

poor tactics and execution. typical sharks display really

Nothing wrong with Pritchard's hit. Pritchard was front on and Graham pretty much ran into a world of hurt.

If Pritchard turned his body and went for a shoulder charge, then you would have to question it. He didn't though.

Thoughts on the Pritchard hit anyone?

Having looked back at it, looked innocent enough to me. Full body contact front-on, might've bumped up and clipped the chin after hitting the chest initially... unlucky to be on report in my blue & white eyes.

Not sure who was saying Graham bled from the ears early in the thread after the Pritchard shot but it was actually his mouth. The blood then went down the side of his head, made it look like it was from the ears.

on first glance I thought he was bleeding from the ears too. easy enough mistake to make

shoulder contact to the head(smh is calling it a forearm-where the f**k they got that from we'll never know). don't know if it deserves suspension though.

if gal had done it to a dog i'd be happy.

 

[skeepe]

2-3 weeks. First contact was with the head.
