2016 Wk 3 Prelim - Storm 14-12 Raiders @ AAMI Park

Didn't it happen at the start of the game and then he played the rest of it?

Dumb

Yep. Happened very early in the match. They didn't get it checked until the Monday after. Now their claiming another three players got neck injuries in the game aswell. But I seen the tackle that is the one which Lowe hurt his neck and it really is a nothing tackle. Not even a grapple tackle. It's just an unfortunate accident that happens in contact sports, which to Lowe's credit he has said himself. But Paul Green and the Cowgirls are crying foul

The Storm wrestle shit is now in full overdrive. Ricky Stuart has jumped in. The Cowboys still complaining. And the media are all over it. It's getting ridiculous now. I mean the tackle were Lowe hurt his neck was a nothing tackle, even he said it wasn't because of the Storms tackling but the media and Cowboys are blowing up deluxe. Cowboys put in a complaint to the NRL

Wouldn't worry as it's just that time of year again. Their is always something that circulates in the media that negatively focuses on the storm but luckily we don't hear too much of it down here!

Ricky Stuart has jumped in.

"I'm not one of those coaches who is going to come out and start having a shot about wrestle, which seems to happen every time some team plays against Melbourne," Stuart said.

I only seen what he said on the news and that's not what he said. Although I wouldn't be surprised if they twisted his words with the way they were going after Melbourne

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Oh yeah, the media will jumping on the wrestle big time.

 

[myrrh ken]

Sticky still managed to stick in a moan about the Cronulla loss. Even the fans here didn't moan about the reffing.

For what it is worth the Cowboys wrestle as well as anyone, if media forces knee jerk reaction from the NRL it might well go against North Queensland

Not really a moan, just trying to influence proceedings this week. If he genuinely had a problem with how the Sharks game was officiated, you can bet that you would have heard about it in the presser.

Well at least that's a whine about recent events. Poor ol' Gal was still whining just last week about Papalii making him cry all those years ago.

 

[myrrh ken]

So where's that source?

If you are referring to this article below, you will be disappointed to find that they used Gallen's quote back in 2012. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/rug...h-paul-gallen-to-history-20160905-gr8xek.html.

Seems like only Canberra and its fans keep bringing this up. Its almost like its Pap smear's one claim to fame. Even he's embarrassed that its being brought up.

Triple M.

He was also whining about the "daunting... no wait... disrespectful" Canberra crowds.

If you are referring to this article below

No, I wasn't.

 

[myrrh ken]

If he was responding to a specific question about the tackle, I don;t really rate it as a whinge.

Ricky on the other hand went out of his way to whinge. But its apparently a tactical whinge. Apparently the ennis whinge was another tactical whinge to rev up the fans.

You guys just cant handle the fact that sticky is a first rate whinger. We had him, we would know.

EDIT - back on topic. Storm should roll right over the raiders. I think Raiders are out of juice and Storm will be fresh from the week off.

 

[Whino]

Storm by a couple.

Stuart was asked about the ruck and he referred how it was policed in the previous 2 games.

 

[myrrh ken]

Exactly. Only referred to the Cronulla game ie a whinge.

No, he referenced the Panthers game too...

"This week there was interpretation at the ruck and there was a 10 metre rule."

Besides that, you said that because Gallen was asked about the tackle then it wasn’t a whinge. Stuart was asked about the ruck so obviously not a whinge by your own definition.

 

[myrrh ken]

This from the weekend's presser. He was asked about the reffing that happened in the Panthers game. Not about the Sharks game.

No, he was asked about the ruck in the upcoming game against the Storm and he referenced how it’s been policed in our finals games so far. Read the article FFS.
