Did anyone else notice the Hopoate " face rub" on Junior Paulo in the 71st minute when Junior was tackled short of the line. What was he trying to do?

It was quite bizarre. Had it been anyone else I would say it is an attempted gouge but that would not be Hoppas go.

Yep. Was a niggle alright. Maybe Hoppa thought he'd lose his shit.

Oh and Curtis Rona - Karma is such a bitch eh.

Exactly ... when gutho scored he should have gone and found Rona (20m back downfield) and thrown the ball in his face ... and mentioned that he had to do more then just fall over the line to score his try

And it was Rona who dropped the kick for Toutai to score. Hope they gave it him then as well.

If the NRL are going to treat this concussion thing seriously, they better have a massive fine heading the way of the dogs after Reynolds stayed on the field at the end.
The rule is any player who stays down with a concussion must leave the field, he stays on in that set to try and set up something.. Then leaves the field afterwards.

Other teams have had players stay on but then the nrl medical officer tells them to come off a few minutes later once they review the footage. The same thing happened last night. Bulldogs were trying it on too but didnt get away with it. Those other teams haven't been fined so I doubt the bulldogs will either.

I think we send the odd player into the dressing rooms for a concussion test just to get a free interchange.

BA was just on 2MMM. He said that Taka was always the 6 if Foz was out. Taka has trained at 6 whenever Foz was unavailable this year and in the off season.

I'd believe him except for round 1 when luke f**ken kelly was put in the side

100% Be mad not to. Wicks in the 2nd half was our 'concussed' bloke last night.

Only we had no one to replace him with lol

The Reynolds thing was a joke ... he stays down like he's been shot then he needs to come off immediately.

The cases where players come off later are when he doesnt act like hes dead
