the Newcastle player clearly pulls him

He might have liked it!

But seriously he is allowed to get up fast and play the ball and he seriously f**ks it completely in his haste. He has an obligation to at least try and play ir properly...

Compare that to some of the deliberate slowing down some teams get away with and your argument has no legs.

should have been a Cowboys penalty, so we'll call it playing the advantage

This is the Cooper try? You can't then trade in your advantage to use the player in front of you as a shield as you burrow into their back leg and then dive for the line.

Arrgh is the same bullshit Iv been listening to since the 90's ffs Broncos get this Broncs get that maybe if Sydney had less clubs the remaining clubs would get bigger TPAs it's that difficult to figure and maybe Brisbane only needs one club not 9

Wayne Bennett fires back at NRL bunker critic Michael Maguire

IN A swipe at rival Michael Maguire, Wayne Bennett wants critics to stop their “ridiculous” whining and accept that the NRL bunker will never be perfect.

Livid South Sydney coach Maguire this week demanded answers from the NRL after referees boss Tony Archer admitted Brisbane centre Tautau Moga’s try in the Broncos’ controversial one-point last round win over the Rabbitohs should not have been awarded.

Broncos coach Bennett’s message to bunker bashers ahead of Thursday night’s clash with Penrith was simple — get over it.

The seven-time premiership-winning coach backed the multi-million dollar bunker system, despite claiming another mistake would be made this round. “It will happen to someone else next week,” he said.

“But the technology is there, they do a great job and it’s much improved this year.

“They are making more decisions on the field, the bunker has been good.

“But it will never, ever be perfect. We will always get something wrong.

“But we are minimising what we are getting wrong.”

Maguire was fuming after two controversial decisions in their last round loss.

Besides Moga’s bizarre 69th minute try, which levelled the scores, Maguire was furious over the “ridiculous” call to award Brisbane pivot Anthony Milford’s late matchwinning field goal.

Maguire believed Milford had knocked on before kicking the decisive one-pointer, but Bennett was unmoved.

“I just think it is ridiculous the way we all overreact to all of it,: he said. “It’s the nature of the game. It’s not going to stop because everyone carries on about it.

“We all get the bad decisions. But do you get a bad call and carry on like a spoiled brat — is that what we teach our kids?” Bennett said he could empathise with Maguire but said there was no use complaining.

“Of course you would be disappointed (if Maguire) but you just have to live with it,” he said.

“We make less mistakes than we have ever made with regards to officials. “Our best players make mistakes. You’ve got to assume their best referees make mistakes — that’s what happens in sport.

“The best ones make less mistakes but they do make them.”

What a merkin.

Would be funny if the Panthers beat the Broncos tonight because of a bunker howler. Guarantee that Bennett would quickly change his tune.

He'll probably have a whinge about the short turn around as well. Going from a Friday straight into the following Thursday must be a real trial for the Broncos...

You can be rest assured knowing that we won't be losing to Penrith tonight.

Doesn't mind whinging about Golden Point though.

Well getting beat in GP is so much more unfair to the Donks than winning off the back of 2 ref howlers going your way. Cannot wait for the sulk when the next photo of his mistress turns up in the newspaper owned by his employer.

Broncs play Friday's a lot because they get the ratings and crowds. If only one or two of the 9 Sydney teams tried playing more attacking footy

Ratings yes.

Crowds....please!!

If they did not get the crowds they do being the only club in a population of over 2 million then there would be an inquiry.

Helps having a nice $380 million dollar stadium with the best facilities to pull in a punter or two.
