Meh I'd ignore the troll

He virtually applauds Gallen for flat out cheating and making the game look bad

Ha
I'm trolling?
Two weeks later and you are still crying about a penalty against your shit team.
You've even made a whole new thread about it.


If woods didn't cheat and grab gallens jersey , then Gallen wouldn't have dived.

They checked the video
Tada - penalty to the sharks

As for the storm horseshit

Haha
Not one comentator mentions it once during or after the game
None

Blokes hang onto each other in scrums...the ref tells them to.

You should watch a few.

Wasn't many years ago your team was a pathetic rabble you f**kwit

1 premiership doesn't override 50 years of shitness

It's about diving in general, but keep thinking your team is relevant

There is no point arguing about diving and cheating with Carch, guys. He is the ultimate one eyed fan whose entire rugby league opinion is "whatever helps the sharks is good/whatever doesn't help the sharks is bad". Nothing wrong with that as such as all teams have fans that are blinded by their support for their club, just makes actually wanting to discuss rules or trends a little pointless.

Diving is a blight on the game. Bennett complaining about it despite the fact he clearly teaches it to his players (hence why Boyd, Milf, and Hunt are its biggest proponents). The only way to stop it is for the media and players to get on board and just absolutely lynch anyone who dives in the media. Embarrass the f**k out of them. None of this "its not his go" type crap.

Implementing a fine/suspension for the more obvious ones would be good too. The NHL manages to do it, so I'm sure we can too.

KFC is about to offer an award for the Best Dive Of The Year with points for difficulty (# of replays with their logo)

Awarded by @carcharias ? He's the biggest advocate of them
Give Carch a break, he's been waiting a long time for his 'mythical cup' moment. I'd rather remember the '99 Sharks who were easily the best team of the season . . . Melbourne snagging the pissant cup is irrelevant imo

One still crying after 2 weeks
The other still crying from the grand final

I love it

It makes it so much more satisfying.

I'll give you an example of this farcical diving

Barba try in the gf last year

Jack bird packs in the front row, firmly grips the Melbourne storm front rower (forgot his name) disadvantages the player but because he didn't take a dive it wasn't a penalty. Give it a rewatch and please tell me that wasn't much worse than woods "grab"


Haha OPSM dude. Harris is ball-watching Gal as he's too far away to attempt a tackle. He doesn't notice Barba until too late.

You could make a living out of being mistaken ol' mate . . . I'm well and truly on record for regarding gf's insignificant in my little world. Although I do remember kicking my way through a screen door when the Seagles beat the Sharks in '73. The last year I took any notice of gf's was in '83, lost interest after Jack did, so you're wasting time with me . . . your little world is no bigger than mine

Would Gallen had dived if woods didn't grab his jersey?
If he did dive without woods grabbing him
the tigers would've been awarded a try.

Lucky we have the bunker to rule on it.

No try :no_good:♂️

Or he notices it too late because he was being held down?

Anyways that wasn't the argument. I'm saying how is it any differerent to the woods hold on Gallen

A bit inconsistent going on this year

So you admit the grand final try shouldn't have been a try then?
Great

Mate I don't give a shit who you are
How old you are
What coach you wank over
Where you live
How much tougher you are than a screen door

If you haven't got the balls to admit what team you follow then you are as pointless as Perth Red IMO.

Maybe I should use a picture of me in my '98 Melbourne jersey as an avatar . . . you do realise I'm getting the better of you don't you
