It was fine, Soward should stop being a woman. Was a fantastic hit. Plus I had the Broncos 1-12:lol:

A penalty every day of the week, very late. I really don't know how Soward can be seen as a woman. Got belted and didn't whine or whinge, it hurt him & got treatment. Then just got on with the game.

The blind Soward hate for SFA reason amazes me. I have bronco fans at work say it's because of his kicking action, Parkers is not that much different. It must be because he's a good footballer. :crazy:

How exactly was it stupid when he was finishing what was looking to be a voluntary tackle?

LOL. The howls around here when Hodges did it were nearly unbearable, but when Soward does it, and is penalised (incorrectly), there's nothing wrong with it?

Eh? I don't have a problem with his pre-kick dance (whatever works for ya), but there is a hell of a lot more fidgeting going on there than any other kicker.

Can't think of any other kicker that marches on the spot.

:lol: :lol:

Hodges attacked a bloke with a broken ankle.

Soward tackles a bloke doing a voluntary tackle.

I don't think there is enough of these :lol: to describe you comparing them and your post in general.

Tell us all what Soward did that was wrong or not in the spirit of the game, are you seriously comparing the 2 incidents. :lol: oh my......

FMD you are dense. I've already stated that the penalty on Soward was undue. Morris' injury is irrelevant. Both players "attacked" a player on the ground in a voluntary tackle. Both players had no chance to defend themselves, yet the moaning about Hodges was deafening, but you see no problem with Soward powerdiving with a swinging arm onto Beale?

Just like Hodges, all Soward had to do was put a hand on the player on the ground to complete the tackle. But he obviously had the shits that he lost the ball, so he put a shot on Beale as he was lying on the ground.

Too good on the night Broncs, an incredible first half effort. Dragons were disgraceful in that first 40 but fought back very well. Hopefully we can bounce back in what's going to be a f*cking tough game v Cronulla next weekend

broncos are just a machine at the moment, and really if they get their attack right they could be a real premiership contender.

FMD you have lost it. One hit the player up around the head, the other made contact below the shoulder. Sowards arm wasn't swinging he dropped his shoulder. In all honesty mate take the bronc glasses off.

Please. You compared the two tackles before even I did.

Hodges didn't hit anyone up around the head, now you're just making shit up.

Both were voluntary tackles, both put shots on where a hand on the player was necessary. One is fine with Dragons fans, the other is not.

I didn't compare the tackles. I made one mention was was awarded a penalty, the other one didn't. I asked if the rule had been changed.

I suggest you watch the Hodges ankle again. Are you in the habit of blatant lying or just cannot honestly see what happened. As you will see Hodges effort was a cheap shot he continued to run from 15m -20m away and deliberate contact was made up around the head (albeit secondary). Soward dropped his shoulder into the players upper torso (with ugh less force then hodges), nil contact with his head. Not even close.

around the head......no, you're mistaken?

Tbh.....I didn't see any thing against the rules in either tackle (Soward or Hodges)

Inconsistency reigns supreme with the Harrigan boys.

It's not a new thing.
