2025 R22 Thu - Parramatta 10-16 Melbourne @ CommBank

That’s embarrassing from Melb , they are not winning anything this year

 

[Vladonald Trumputin]

Was that performance from a so called genuine premiership contenders?

Out in straight sets comes finals time.

 

[Belza1]

Never in doubt Storm

Grant did that on purpose however that’s not why the rule was brought in. Hookers started literally chucking the ball at guys laying down not impeding the ruck whatsoever. In that instance the parra player was kneeling in grants line of pass. Grant threw it straight at him so correct penalty, but the defender was also taking the piss.

A couple of three takes

voluntary tackles should be penalties

Melbourne are about as good as the tigers

Thursday night games are crimes against humanity

That last play was putrid. Knights-esqe.

 

[skeepe]

Parramatta lost that more than Melbourne won it.

Yeah I get throwing into a downed opponent should be a penalty but the guy shouldn’t be able to kneel right next to the play the ball and obstruct melb passing in that direction

Exactly he was sitting right in the play the ball making zero attempt to get out of the way.

Yeah I’ve got Veronica Avluv and Angela White pressing the intercom to let them up

Grant has been penalised for that play several times since it came in, surely he knows it's a penalty the other way by now. But apparently not, lol.

Storm EDGE Eels ….. good lord

Would it be a penalty also if he ran into him ? It would be 6 again at the least as he’s offside ….
Who knows with these refs

Modern gentlemen are less scared of a good solid pegging, it's true

Is that the voice of experience?

nope the rule is now pass into an offside player and it’s a penalty. It has encouraged players to obstruct pass routes as it has not been implemented properly. Grants example was a clear milk and a stupid one at that given the rule is black and white in the offside players favour

 

[Saxon]

How has Grant not learned about that penalty yet lol. He's done it several times.

Stupid.

To be fair though, the rule needs a review. Like the seven tackle set it was brought in to control a specific circumstance and has had a shitload of unwanted impacts. In this case it means there's basically no disincentive for merkins lying around in the ruck.

Yep just a typical over reaction from the powers that be. Instead of just ruling play on instead of rewarding cheating play, the make it a penalty. A bit like the over reaction to defenders putting a player who jumps for the ball in a dangerous position ( which by the way was always a penalty) the NRL completely outlaw even the most innocuous contact.

 

[Bazal]

Sadly the cupboard is bare. Only other option is f**king Kelma. Shudders.

Guymer missed 14 tackles and made 60m

I think he's got promise as a solid squad middle but even Shaun f**ken Lane would be better on an edge.
