Another joke sin binning. Cowboys left it too late to make a run and deserve to lose for letting Woods stroll through. That was a great win for the Sharks, but that last 10 minutes was terrible game management.

Is it just me, or is Jesse Ramien's career a bit suspended at the moment? Touted as something big, but he hasn't really progressed since going to the Knights
Had a good game, 2 weeks in a row now

Anyone who kicked on the last tackle at training this week must have been tasered.

The austin powers scene where the guard is yelling "nooo!!" while the steam roller is going 2 miles an hour and is 50m away and still gets run over, letting woods bust you up the middle to score is the nrl equivalent of that

I hope Tolman didn't lie down on purpose to get the penalty/sin bin. He was bleeding, but it looked like he milked. Smart move for his team, but it's unsportsmanlike. Blame PVL for bringing this black and white rule in.

We can't whinge about the result of the game though. Cronulla were more polished and took their opportunities.

The guy was bleeding, he clearly got whacked. To suggest he was milking it a load of BS.

Was it a sin bin, probably not but it's still contact with the head so should be a penalty. Until the NRL adds a caveat about accidental contact when a player is falling etc then those kind of things will still happen.

In the old days, players would get up and play the ball, regardless of whether they were bleeding. Now they're all lying down playing for the penalty if there's slight contact with the head or back of neck.

Tolman's head was about 1 or 2 feet above the ground and falling when he got whacked. It wasn't even a penalty.
