2021: Week 1 Finals (Non Parra games)

[I'm a loser baby...]

Eels goggles off, Cleary is a far more articulate and objective coach. Less loyalty perhaps but yeah.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Hit's him whilst in the air and doesn't wrap his arms, that's the interpretation they've been using, it's definitely a penalty, it's just not always blown.

He wrapped his arms. Didn't continue trying to smash him when it was obvious the ball had been kicked. It's a strange rule

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

And Wayne Bennett is a contrarian merkin.

 

[Mickyd39]

If we win tomorrow, we'll cop it without the lube from the refs next week after Ivan's whinge fest.

 

[the phantom menace]

I’d BA chokes tomorrow I’d be signing Bennett. Give him what ever he wants

Let him do it all via Zoom from Quensland.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Hope @hindy111 is ok? Can someone check on him ….

Cough cough panthers took it easy last week……..think we took it out of them!!

To be fair, I don't think last week's game would've been very good preparation for them, especially mentally. It was like when we had that 58-0 training run against Brisbane in 2019.

 

[Wally21]

Cleary having a sook…..”false crusher”….

He really fancies himself doesn’t he?? He’s such a smug merkin.

 

[hineyrulz]

Wayne totally owning Cleary on and off the field this week, masterful performance from creeping Jesus. If the club doesn't have a serious crack at him they aren't trying.

Another elite level fart sniffer, he was owned badly by Wayne on and off the field all week.

 

[hineyrulz]

Turgess showed you can take it to the Panthers up the middle. Where was the viscious Fish guy again?

Still hiding after he got Ray Stoned last week.

[Bandwagon]

He wrapped his arms. Didn't continue trying to smash him when it was obvious the ball had been kicked. It's a strange rule

He kinda pulled out of the tackle, but not the contact, he has to wrap his arms and give him a big hug, then place him down gently, like you might a small child.

But seriously, he doesn't wrap his arms, once the balls been kicked the onus is on the defence not to do to anything much more than wrap the player up, every match you'll see at least a couple of super soft tackles on the kicker, where you think why bother. That's because the rule is being interpreted pretty harshly, just like this incident.

So it's Bulldogs V Demons in gf? Wow I guess the salary cap works in AFL too

 

[Gronk]

So can you build a wall to protect your field goal kicker ? Does there need to be an investigation, Trent ?

 

[Oscarman]

Are the two blockers in front of the play the ball?

 

[Gronk]

Irony ?


The NRL has moved to abolish the controversial "field goal wall" following Monday's coaches' conference despite the governing body deeming it legal just five months ago.

The controversial tactic was employed by the Warriors in their round 14 loss to Sydney Roosters when they lined up five players beside the play the ball in an attempt to shield halfback Shaun Johnson from on-rushing defence as he slotted a one-pointer.
