How incredibly punchable is cameron munster's head? What an a-grade flog

Up there with Curtis Scott. Must be a Melbourne thing.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Fmd. Supporting Canberra is hard. I reckon that took years off my life.

Feel for you blokes that have to ride that roller coaster every week.

Me:

 

[OzDragon]

Highly entertaining game but dissapointed it ended with 2 contentious decisions.

 

[Jack_Napier]

I agree.

In the first 12 rounds we really jammed in.

Now we wait for the attack to hit the line. Against better sides we’d be destroyed.

Maloney has always been an iffy defender but what’s worse is that
Penrith have never been a great defensive side. Creates this whole
Notion it’s Maloney when in fact it’s just our structures

Agree, guess he just stands out a lot more. Like I said we had him at easts but managed to cover with good structures and better defenders around him.

 

[ed-grimley]

Announcers are ruining the game.

 

[TheFrog]

That touchy who ignored the forward pass was probably terrified of being forced to live in Penrith as punishment if he called it.

No punishment at all, except its too hot in summer. After all its not us who have to endure the bodily wastes of Easties. Its the other way around.

3 bad decisions.
Maloney forward pass.
Rapana accidental contact.
Merrin blocking Havali from getting to Maloney.

 

[Bazal]

lmao you sound pretty deranged here.

No it's a completely fair reaction to finding out people drink wine.

 

[This Year?]

Funnily enough, it’s had the opposite effect on me.

You're welcome to sit with me at any saints game from July to September to witness hope get destroyed with every passing week.

 

[Sphagnum]

Veggie patch is warming up for the presser by going on some batshit crazy rant.

The Rapana one was correct. Extremely unfortunate, but still made contact.

 

[nick87]

Because it’s an elbow to the head? Imagine the can of worms if they don’t penalise that.

Accidental contact in the process of a play?
Haha that’s been the rule since forever, and no worms have emerge from any can

It’s not a penalty, that simple

Amateurs. All of you, rank amateurs!

 

[GreenMachine121]

You guys are deadset kidding yourselves about that elbow from Rapana being accidental.

You can see him lower it and aim it somewhat

 

[thommo4pm]

The Rapana one was correct. Extremely unfortunate, but still made contact.

That shouldn't have been a penalty.
You could make the same argument about the head clash on Papali. Unfortunate and accidental, but contact made to the ball carriers head.

 

[GreenMachine121]

That field goal cost Canberra the game

Early field goals always do I’m fairly sure

 

[Bazal]

That shouldn't have been a penalty.

How many high tackles are genuinely deliberate?

Again, the onus is on the defender to avoid the head, accidental or not. He's attempting to charge down a kick, he has to avoid the head of the player and he can't attack the legs.

 

[hineyrulz]

Amateurs. All of you, rank amateurs!

Yep, hold my beer says every Eels fan since 1986.

 

[TheFrog]

Rapana accidental contact.

High shot to the head. They can be reckless, careless or deliberate. I'd go reckless. Late too.
Two to three weeks.

 

[bileduct]

Are you f**ks seriously arguing about the Rapana penalty?

Whatever Rapana's intentions, he's hit whatshishead late and high.

Did he get put on report? He should be, because the elbow to the head was deliberate.
