2023 R7 Fri - Manly 18-8 Melbourne @ 4 Pines

[SLRBRONCOS]

Vaega is far too smug for a man with no neck

 

[Maximus]

He didn’t land on the ankles or even make contact with the legs at all so what are you talking about?

Getting lucky doesn't stop that being his intention.

 

[Apey]

Haha that winger is like if Olam was a merkin.

 

[Bazal]

Do we penalise swinging arms that miss?

It's all very bizarre.

Do we penalise lifting tackles where blokes don't fall on their head?

Not sure it's comparable to a high tackle tbh. He definitely had him around the waist, lifted his legs and dropped. Just happened to not fall on his legs. Was more a hip drop than Butcher IMO (and not binned)

 

[fourplay]

He didn’t land on the ankles or even make contact with the legs at all so what are you talking about?

He was directly on the back of Olakuatu's calf. It was just fortunate that Olakuatu was strong enough to stay standing in the tackle for long enough to pull his back leg across his body.

It was incredibly reckless, dangerous and should have been sin binned.

 

[skeepe]

That was a shoulder charge and then the push was dumb

 

[yobbo84]

I reckon what this game needs is more stoppages

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

nah RTV is a bad man

 

[The Man Shake]

If I saw Morgan Harper in a scuffle like that I’d go b*tch please aren’t you meant to be cleaning my pool?

 

[84 Baby]

Sipley wants the crowd to maintain the noise. The crowd oblige with some polite clapping

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

why no 6 again there? Vaega interfered more than a catholic preist

Josh Aloiai, Jason Saab, Christian Tuipulotu, Josh Schuster, Haumole Olakau'atu, Tolutau Koula and Toafofoa Sipley enter the chat

 

[Someguy]

This winger is a loose cannon lucky not to give six again on last tackle

 

[Bazal]

DCE hit late?

His shoulder seems to be broken.

 

[Tom155]

So dumb

 

[Apey]

Right, landing flat on your back is dangerous. Lets cancel rugby league.

It wasn't bin worthy but he went well past the horizontal.

 

[fourplay]

How about not swing your legs out and drop your entire body weight on their ankles?

If it was impossible to tackle someone from behind without it being a hip drop, we'd have been seeing them for the entire history of rugby league.

Exactly. Anyone who thinks swinging your legs off the ground and dumping your body weight on the back of the legs is spastic.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Battle of Brookie II. Cherry doing his best Matai impression….rolling around grabbing his shoulder.

 

[Slackboy72]

Late shoulder charge on DCE.

 

[This Year?]

lol not a single player comes to DCE's defence.

 

[Bazal]

Oh Justin ILY like I never thought I could love a Storm player but the granite in your bones is also in your brain
