2021 R7 Sat - Cronulla 12-18 Canterbury @ Netstrata Jubilee

[lockyno1]

Yes 2 blokes dying from freak accidents that have happened maybe once or twice ever in the history of their respective sports rupturing an artery from shots to the head is certainly a silly analogy

Meh there was head contact. It isn’t hard to NOT shoulder charge. Lucky it wasn’t more than a sin bin

 

[no name]

The replay of the ‘shoulder charge’ shows that contact is with his chest, old mates head comes down and hits his chin on Talaki’s back.
I reckon Talaki’s arm was out ready to wrap but he hit him that good that by the time he went to wrap old mate was on the ground.
Going against him is that the NRL is rightfully trying to look after players health and especially their heads. He’ll have a holiday.

 

[This Year?]

The Bulldogs scramble is like me looking for grand final tickets after a round 5 win!

That is the $45 million dollar (each) conga line.

There is a much higher rate of injury per event from shoulder charges vs bouncers and you f**king know it.

boo f**king goo people get injured. It’s a contact sport, people are supposed to get injured.

You brought up deaths. Deaths are equally rare in league and cricket.

 

[roofromoz]

This is a truly "where were you moment"?

My future grand children will love it.

 

[reanimate]

The Raiders had some absolute pube collectors out there too around the same era.

Greg Wolfgramm, Damon Booby, Odell Manuel.... nightmare stuff.

Those names are an absolute freak show on their own.

 

[skeepe]

Honestly Talakai shouldn’t have returned. Should have been a straight send off.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

First time the 18th man rule has been invoked.

So much for it only happening once in a blue moon lol

 

[t-ba]

There is literally no result I am not happy with here.

They are buried under your 2009 Premiers t-shirts.

 

[This Year?]

Talakai looks like he could be a front man for Sepultura.

The head contact I would argue was from the dogs bloke’s head whiplashing down into the shoulder of the sharks player. It wasn’t direct contact to the head.

i have no idea what the end game is for removing all danger from league. Might as well just merge with the super rugby where they red card people for any lifting or shoulder first tackles

There are plenty of other differences as you well know. Severity of injury from shoulder charge, the fact the head is unprotected and the long-term effects of concussion.

But hey, you keep making disingenuous arguments and crying that we can’t see blokes getting their brains scrambled for your entertainment.

 

[This Year?]

Similar thing happened last year.

 

[eagles4eva]

wow thats close

 

[Willie Ray]

Nice work from Brailey The Younger there.

 

[roofromoz]

Rugby league gods going "OK, I think we’ve been polite for long enough".

 

[Slackboy72]

That wasn't a try.

He looks like the bouncer who kicked me out of Carmens back in the good old days
