2019 R19 Fri - Knights 26-28 Wests Tigers @ Beanies for Brain Cancer Stadium

Why wasn't that a penalty try?

Ponga wasn't playing at the ball, he was trying to take out another player in a try scoring position and whacked him in the head.

Only if he was the only one that looked like he was to score a try.

 

[Billythekid]

Time is running out for Brown. In a way I feel for him, he’s taken the knights from being an absolute basket case to having a squad that ca challenge for the comp. Much like Brian Smith though I don’t think he’s the one to get the team over the line.

Having said that they’re still in contention and the blame can’t all be on him.

 

[age.s]

What if they end up hurt because they were illegally whacked in the head

Sin bin them. Like you sin bin the guy committing the professional foul.

 

[Mr Angry]

Tigs really bringing the grey out in Madge.

Kearney at Parra just before the Warriors

Kearney this year

Not doctored, who would be a coach?

 

[GongPanther]

They should. That roster is packed. He’s had all the excuses under the sun this bloke.

They'll need him this season under their belt to be truly formidable for next year.

[Canard]

The Knights are cooked

Only if he was the only one that looked like he was to score a try.

Well it looked that way to me. The ball is right in front of Chee Kam, and the only other person in a try scoring position is the guy that instead decides to whack Chee Kam in the head.

 

[Iafeta]

He’s on an employment agreement. He can get let go tomorrow without any severance. Why would they extend him?!

That’s what I thought too but the lads on Triple M said that’s about to change. Lunacy. It’s like the Warriors extending Kearney and the Dragons Mary.

 

[Lebbo73]

I actually agree with the penalty.
Was a clear shoulder charge and got him in the melon.
The refs have binned those previously, so can see why they did tonight as well.
Unsure why all of them haven’t been binned though.

What game were you watching? Chee Kam bounced off the other Newy player into Ponga who was going for the ball. Ponga did brace himself for contact.

 

[TheFrog]

Ponga missed the ball by miles and went straight for the player. Yeah it’d usually be missed but the injury has allowed them to make the right call (dunno about the binning though)

There were two of them last week.

I didn't take much notice in regards to how many players were there. But there did seem to be a few. It'll all work out in the wash.

 

[TheFrog]

How many weeks for Ponga?

Grade 1 Shoulder Charge, 1 week with early plea, 2 weeks if he fights it.

Granted, there is a Newcastle player who bounces into Chee-Cam...but what they still have to determine whether Ponga was in the motion of going to take out Chee-Cam before that actual contact from the other player.

 

[macavity]

One of the worst calls ever made in a game.

And watch the “precedent” ignored from here on in.

Wouldn’t be a Knights game without a bullshit sin binning.

 

[no name]

wrong thread.

 

[TheEroticGamer]

Ponga will get off...thanks to the silky hands of Andrew Johns.

Then he’ll escape suspension.

 

[nick87]

Mate you seem to have a lot of opinions, in fact 9616, that a lot of Bullshit from one person. Luckily opinions are like orgasms, a don't give a f**k about anyone elses' but mine

Do you often go out of your way to quote someone's opinion and clearly demonstrate their opinion impacted, and therefore mattered to you, just to tell them their opinion doesnt matter to you?

 

[footy75]

the knights from being an absolute basket case to having a squad that ca challenge .

Unfortunately they aren't challenging for Jack shit. If they were serious they would of banked points against average teams at home.

Should be comfortably in the top 4. instead, play like absolute donkeys in games they should win.
