Nah it's not.

The Eels have been playing it since Wankbest opened.
Perhaps I should have been more specific.
It's a Valentine thing up here.
They all sing Sweet Valentine.
I try not to do vomit backs into my beer during those singing events.

That type of push happens all the time. it was incidental. if they penalise that, there'll be flops everywhere...
Yep.

The opposite end of it is when the marker has their hands all over the bloke trying to play the ball and they penalise the play the ball for not standing up.

HANDS OFF THE BLOKE PLAYING THE BALL. Should be an instant penalty/Count Restart. The mauling in the play the ball is a pain to watch. It'll speed the game up and leaves no room for dodgy interpretations.

Have they mentioned how good the stadium is yet?
Anything would be better then the old Dairy Farmers/Kirwan stadium. That was a sh#t hole. Locals contributed to it though. Seen some stuff at Suncorp but it was consistently bad at Dairy Farmer's in my experience.

Well, credit to Semi. He’s now one fry off this being his most prolific season in the NRL.

You see a lot worse than that on every single kick. I’m think there are definitely some that should be penalised, but that wasn’t one of them.

Agreed. Okunbur got pinged for not getting up to play the ball in the earlier game, with roosters hanging off him. I remember when it was the responsibility of the tackler to clear the ruck.
