Oh I understand both words. I've also got eyes and can see it wasn't high, and it was as late as just about every single tackle or push on a kicker at the end of every single set.

Even soccer players would be too embarrassed to take a dive like that.

It was LATE and HIGH, therefore according to the rules, a penalty at the very least. That would have meant a gift two points and it wouldn’t have even progressed to golden point.

You possibly need to take advantage of the free eyesight tests which most Optometrists bulk bill under Medicare, or see your GP about a referral to a Shrink for your Penrith hatred. It’s unhealthy.

I guess when Cleary can get a high tackle penalty while basically laying on the ground, it's no surprise you think being hit in the chest is a high tackle.

Panthers fans whinging about the refs is hilarious. Between the ridiculous Gagai penalty, repeated piggy backs and the even worse Frizell hair pull penalty the merkin did everything possible to swing the game your way.
Haha yes it is funny

Not used to a team taking it to them after the last two weeks.

Starting to think he won't be, unless he can snap into World Cup and 2022 finals form over the next month.
Well one of the NSW halves in the past has been dropped after a losing a series so i cant see Luai being any different to whats happened before. As Cleary wont be getting dropped.

NSW Players picked in the halves in a losing series and didnt play the following year going back to 2011.
2020 - Keary, Cody Walker
2017 - Pearce
2016 - Reynolds, Moylan
2015 - Hodkinson
2013 - Maloney, Pearce
2012 - Carney
2011 - Soward

Fitzy not charged from last night - it’s almost as is it wasn’t high or late.

Maybe panthers fans need to show the match review committee the replay they all saw

Hastings was playing the old 5m rule.
Fitzgibbon didn’t hit him the chest, it was across the throat.
No mention of the phantom sin binning?
Gagai abused the ref, and didn’t protest when penalised.
No mention of the continuous holding down in the ruck by Newcastle - nearly 1 second slower PTBs.
Even O’Brien said they expected a penalty from the late hit on Cleary.
