2024 R10 Sat - Melbourne 18-25 Cronulla @ AAMI

[BWNB]

I wish storm man was driving a cement truck up the tunnel rather than banging his f**king cowbell.

Storm man, cowbell

When was the last time a 50/50 call went against the Storm?

 

[Apey]

I don’t agree with a penalty but we could live with that, but a sin bin is just wtf

That's it, in the Apey rulebook that's not even a penalty, but you can live with it if that's what they're going with.

Feel like they're just reacting to this on Friday (an actual bad one) that was a sin bin

 

[chrisD]

Anyway it’s been a good game, even with some soft tries up the middle that shouldn’t be happening with contending teams.

 

[Sharkman]

What you are going to see now is kickers throwing there legs out trying to make contact with opponents and then flopping around to make sure the ref notices.

In exactly the same way every back is essentially “karate kicking” outward when taking the ball, just hoping for contact in the air.

NRL makes a rule, every coach and player figures out how to take things beyond the spirit or intent behind the rule. But, it’s been happening for 30 years worth of rule changes I guess.

Good to know there was at least an incident that might have brought this on.

This might sound weird, but I felt the decline of our game start once once they eliminated the biff..(Gallen SOO) progressively getting softer and more litigious now leading into a ridiculous state of affairs

 

[Wizardman]

Im all for the sin bin....send a message to not attack the legs for good.

 

[chrisD]

Great kick.

I’m not sure incidental contact could be claimed to be attacking the legs.

and I say that as someone who detests the Storm and believes they are responsible for nearly every grubby tactic that has seeped into the game in the last 20 years.

Harry needs to play the game with more care then

 

[chrisD]

High ball catching here looks a bit different to the last game. To be fair conditions are better.

 

[Munky]

NAS has been terrible

Missing tackles and then dropping the ball

 

[chrisD]

Another quality kick. Sharks looking realer than I gave them credit for.

Sustained pressure leading to an eked out try against quality opposition. Feel like if Hynes was out there he’d have thrown it over the sideline at some point during this period.

 

[Apey]

Haha another awful rule.

Better without Hynes actually

 

[Artiste]

Haha another awful rule.

Should be allowed to contest the highball, otherwise shit well get so boring

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Ennis will morph into Gould with his "Origin moment" calls.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Haha another awful rule.

Agreed probably a square up haha

 

[Artiste]

Atkins, just insuring that he leaves the stadium alive
