I certainly don't think he should be suspended (although the nrl is considering changing the laws so repeat incidents would be) but as I said at the time its a shoulder charge. Tll was penalised and put on report for an identical one against the panthers.

It seems hugely unfair that it appears the refs are making these shoulder charge calls based on how physically large the player is.

 

[bileduct]

FFS it wasn't a shoulder charge!

Everyone on the commentary team agreed that it was a textbook shoulder charge and everyone on every show I have seen since that has discussed it has agreed that it was a shoulder charge. The match review panel agreed that it could have been penalised and the two referees have been dropped from first grade this week as a result of it and the Jack Wighton mid air tackle.

There was no "charging" at all. He just braced himself for the contact.

Yeah, braced himself by using his shoulder to make contact with Ferguson and made no attempt to use his arms or hands as one would with a normal tackling style.

Jesus Christ, if that's what we're calling a shoulder charge these days I honestly weep for the game.

Whether you agree with the shoulder charge rule or not it is there. We got penalised for TLL attempting a similar tackle two weeks ago where no one was injured, yet the same type of tackle that actually does result in an injury to one of our players goes without a penalty.

There is a passage of play that ultimately resulted in a try against us and Newcastle taking the lead where four penalties should have been given to us.

How about some f**king consistency.

Why the f**k should he be suspended, just because a player who RAN INTO HIS SHOULDER was injured?

Oh get f**ked! It's not like Buderus was standing still doing nothing and Ferguson just ran at him. Buderus moved in on Ferguson and at the last second decided to use his shoulder. End of f**king story.

28-12. Get over it princesses.

28-12. Get over it princesses.

We're already over losing the game you f**kin' gronk. No Raiders fan here has attempted to argue that our performance was stellar - it was a bad one. But the fact remains, we played like shit and yet it took over 70 minutes and a whole bunch of poor refereeing decisions for your team to seal up the game.

If you wanna go and pull your dick over the Knights performance then be my guest.

You guys went out and bought one of the most successful coaches in the modern era and you still suck.

5th on the ladder with 3 wins and 1 loss, 2nd best attack and 5th best defense.

We suck so much.

Yeah, MASSIVE achievement beating the Tigers, Raiders and Cowboys - all of which are having massive form slumps. All of your wins have come at home too.

Manly 32 - Newcastle 0.

Face it, you guys suck just as much as us.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

how the f**k can you have a form slump in round 1? there is no form in round 1

cowboys actually had a good game against the storm the week prior to us

the raiders came off a solid win against the dragons..

your argument is invalid

:lol: Yeah, we're going terribly. Three wins and a loss from four games. Awful record that.

How can we suck just as much as the Raiders? Aren't they one win from four games? A win against .... the Dragons ... :lol:

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Loved watching the Knights in last year's finals under Supercoach Wayne.

Lol @ April premiers.

 

[Jono078]

Manly 32 - Newcastle 0.

Face it, you guys suck just as much as us.

We pummeled the Tigers in round 1, they went on to win their next 2 games.

Round 2 was just an off day against a sizzling Manly side.

Round 3 Cowboys came off a win against the Bulldogs and a loss to Melbourne, you don't call a loss to the Storm a slump.

And then we beat you guys who were in form coming off a win (going by your terms of slump).

Excuses mate. They're all in "slumps" cause we put them in it by winning this early in the season.

 

[rnb11]

So people are still saying the Knights are only getting their wins by the opposition playing crap? What a coincidence.

If we suck as much the Raiders we'd be equal last on the ladder with the Raiders lol

 

[Noname36]

Manly 32 - Newcastle 0.

Face it, you guys suck just as much as us.

Newcastle 28 - Raiders 12.

Newcastle 5th - Raiders last.

LOL, no we don't.

Have fun crying about your "shoulder charge".

 

[Walt Flanigan]

So you're 4 points from being last. May as well head to the jeweller and get some premiership rings fitted.

No need for that, but we're still 4 points closer than Canberra.

And the Storm are only a further 2 points away :lol:

Clutching at straws.

The Storm are defending premiers and world club champions, they can talk it up all they like.

The Knights couldn't even make the 8 last season and probably won't this season.

 

[Spot On]

Easy game for the Raiders at home this week. They'll dispel any myths about there poor form for sure.

Fergo might think twice about trying to run over midgets next time. If Fa'aoso only got a week for his shoulder charge then Bedsy was never going to face time on the sidelines.

Let's get to the real problem here - why is it people rate the Canberra halves so highly?

They do?

 

[skeepe]

I said it at the start of the thread. Knights fans eh?

The biggest bunch of wankers on the planet. Not a f**king brain cell between the lot of them.

Looks like everyone can admit the Raiders were screwed big time by an horrendously inept refereeing performance except the toothless mob from the foulest, most soul-destroying place on God's earth.

 

[bileduct]

Newcastle 28 - Raiders 12.

Newcastle 5th - Raiders last.

LOL, no we don't.

Have fun crying about your "shoulder charge".

Three games at home against mediocre opposition, yeah, you guys are world beaters!

Wayne's poor Knights were struggling at half time against a team missing both it's marquee players and needed a string of incorrect calls and injuries to the opposition to take and hold on to the lead.

Massive achievement fellas, I can see why you're sucking each other's dicks in celebration. April premiers, the biggest achievement the Knights have had since a wooden spoon.
