2021 R24 Thu - Newcastle 15-14 Gold Coast @ Sunshine Coast

[Tweed Titan]

The Titans bring the game into disrepute

The Wall
If two or more players form a wall (side by side) next to the play the ball and don’t allow the opportunity for a defending player to move directly towards the player in possession, the referee will penalise for obstruction.

Never penalised once in 112 years …. I mean it should be but never has been

 

[Zoe Palmer]

Patrick Herbert is a proper useless prick.

he was superb tonight. What did I miss?

 

[yobbo84]

The 7th placed Knights of 2020 would put 50 on the 7th placed Knights of 2021

 

[skeepe]

Not only was it a wall, Ponga moved sideways and reached out to further obstruct the defenders. The most blatant example of a wall you will ever see - other than the one the Panthers used to beat the Raiders in Bathurst 5 years ago - and the f**king moron with the whistle misses it.

Grant Atkins must be sacked immediately.

 

[GreenMachine121]

Fmd he’s overrated honestly

We had a golden point field goal taken off us for that exact offense (vs the Titans, no less)

The game, apparently

 

[shear_joy9]

the free pass Holbrook get's from the media is ridiculous.

Why do you assume he didn't see it?

like last weeks downtown in the Penrith game.
the bunker seems quite selective as to when they want to pull a ruling out of obscurity
that FG should have been disallowed

 

[NewySteel]

Titans have found their groove, cannot lose

 

[GreenMachine121]

Honestly should be top 6 …. The rest are just varying piles of poo

So true

 

[Apey]

Newcastle Knights are going to be in the 2021 finals.

Oh boy, I can't wait.

Also it bothers me my missus who doesn't even watch the sport is some f**king wizard at tipping my team. Gets almost all the Knights games right.

Man of the Match: Grant Atkins (Knights)

Oh really ? When was that …

It was only brought in a couple of years ago.

Man of the Match: Grant Atkins (Knights)

Hard to argue.

 

[skeepe]

Back to the penalty for the tackle on Pearce, it’s the inconsistency that bothers me.

If Pearce had kicked instead of passed, nothing would have happened. Kickers are routinely tackled even later than that and it’s allowed to go on.

Atkins was looking for any excuse to penalise, and he found one.
