Post game interviews with DCE is less footballer and more analyst seeking economic reform for middle to lower class families within the Riverina.

People of low intellect do seem to get angry when other people can string together coherent sentences. Can you share your experience as to why that might be?

Coherent? He said the same thing three times. To his credit, he used words most other footballers would ask google to define.

That being said, he presents differently outside of football. Met him several times at different events. Nice guy.

There’s a CLEAR difference between a drop kick and dropping the ball into your foot with zero intent or control. Being facetious won’t change that fact.

I remember one Canberra vs Newcastle game about 15 years ago, Kurt Gidley dropped a pass which then hit the ground before he kicked it. The ball ended up in the goal after bouncing along the ground like a grubber. Newcastle pounced on it and it was ruled as an attempted drop kick, and a try was awarded. He clearly didn't attempt to go for field goal, he dropped it. This one didn't even touch the ground bro.

Should have been ruled a knock on in that case. 15 year old mistakes don’t change the fact that he never had any control whatsoever, and only in super slow motion did it look remotely like he was trying to kick it as he struggled to keep his balance. In real time and speed it looked like the knock on it was and the referee ruled accordingly..

But then the bunker correctly ruled he didn't knock on and we got the ball back though. What you're saying is irrelevant. What's relevant is the ludicrous "mutual infringement" call. Wtf is that?

I’m going to disagree with bunker here, and their absolute incompetence backs me up somewhat…. But yeah what even is a mutual infringement?? Weird ass call all up, but like I said it looked like a knock on at normal speed and had juuuust enough potential to be considered a legitimate play for the bunker to make a strange call…

I've just never heard of a mutual infringement before, and it felt like some made up on the spot shit. Mutual how? Both teams infringed? Anyway, agree to disagree and congrats. We can't beat a team twice this year, and we also can't play in the daytime.

It’s been used before when both teams did something wrong like a double knock on or whatever, but definitely strange in this context… don’t stress too much we’ll only get one more game than you guys lol

I didn’t see the first half, but a mutual infringement is what they call when the ref blows the whistles and the call is overturned.

Mutual infringments have been pretty common since the introduction of the captains challenge. Basically any time a ref blows their whistle and the bunker deems the play isn't complete.

 

[skeepe]

If Grant Atkins and Chris Butler get another game in the NRL this season then the entire referee’s coaching structure needs to be dispensed with for utter incompetence.

what a f**king atrocious performance. Atkins single-handedly changed the game with that disgusting decision to rob us of a fair try. He then backed it up with that bullshit decision to make it all about him and sin bin Tapine for being correct about the disgraceful bunker call that there was no dangerous tackle on Fogarty.

Atkins is a disgrace and must be dropped immediately. If not, Annesley, Maxwell and everyone even remotely involved in the crisis of incompetence we see with our match officials should be seeking a new employer on Monday.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Eat arse Canberra

 

[Fangs]

Manly on track for the top 4 (As I predicted) but that drawn match will cost them.

Dogs/Manly both have potential to shake this competition up. I hope they beat 7th/8th week one and then knock out the Storm or Roosters early from the finals. Would be a treat for NRL fans.

DCE would be more suited to sipping on a pims cup with Matt Giteau and Joe Roff than sinking tinnies with his homophobic brethren at the Sea Eagles.

Jackson Hastings would agree

But since when has the actual term "mutual infringement" been a thing? Sounds like some made up new era shit.

Several years. As I said, it's about as new as captain's challenges.

EDIT: FWIW, the earliest mention of the term I saw in a 30 second google search was 2019.
