2021 R2 Thu - Parramatta 16-12 Melbourne @ Bankwest

Yeah, you're probably right.

I can't remember the specific incident in the GF tbh....

But there's a large difference between leading with the feet and sliding with knees into the ball. The latter is pretty much unavoidable and why Gutho wasn't, and shouldn't have been, penalised.

Leading with the knees into a players body is obvs very different and where I think people are confused

I may be biased, but it looked like Kaufusi deliberately cooked his elbow, and smashed it into Matterson's head.

I'm not biased and it definitely seemed intentional to me.

The balding grub knew exactly what he was doing and deserves a few weeks, but the judiciary will no doubt go easy on him

And Bumbagunhuyzen that was the milk of the season, soccer dive after headbutting a blokes knee at 3 km/h

needs to work on his material. Ironically enough if he didn’t get up and try to milk the knee staying down and milking the elbow to the head likely would have worked

The ball was already lost and on the ground.

Spot on the money again

@The Rosco

Yup. I remembered you saying that.
It induced a hearty LOLOL. . . and once I finished chuckling, I guess you would have been laying back on your single bed, staring up at Farah Fawcett and Ray Price posters while you pleasured yourself.
Stay true rhyno.

 

[The Rosco]

How ironic

To be fair, I didn't see Nathan Brown rub the back of his neck once.
Credit to him.
Actually . . . Brown, Sivo, Fergo, Gutho or Flatto actually played like men and didn't go the penalty seeking rub all game.

jennings may well never play first grade again

We live in hope.

It’s completely legal to smash a bloke lying on the ground who isn’t held. Next time someone tries that, the biggest prop on the other team should come screaming in and absolutely flatten the prick.

Doesn't solve the problem of them wasting precious seconds.

The Storm looked a bit lost when in the Eels 20 m zone without Smith. To be expected and how how long it takes before someone steps up and takes over will be interesting.
