Game day vs warriors

I also hold Royce Hunt accountable for laziness, he only needed to run through the line and Nicho’s Try stands - 28-4 and the Warriors just want to get back on the plane home.

In the Press Conference Fitzy called it Gamesmanship - I call it gutless coward cheating and the imbeciles who officiate the game should take a long look at themselves.

As many have highlighted the GAME of Rugby League is dead, the ENTERTAINMENT of Rugby League is alive.

Yes to Royce. He takes 2 more steps and no problem.

DWZ lays down constantly. Surely refs know he does it. Bunker is just arbitrary calls. At least Fitz and McInnes called it out. The officiating was almost as bad as our edge defence. FMD what was with the spacing and decision making.

Just watched the highlights to start Father's Day off in a shitty mood. WTF was Katoa doing. Everyone else has their player player covered and he jams for no reason. Gifted them the lead.

What a pathetic joke the game has become in 2024.
Completely arbitrary 6 agains the referees call at random.
Slight innocuous contact with the head getting penalised by the bunker.
Players deliberately running into support players to get obstruction penalties.
Great work V'Landys, Annersley & co - the game is now laughably rigged.
Summed it perfectly.
When you think the game cant sink any lower, it dishes up last nights debacle.
Headlines read ‘SJ orchestrated win’ just deadset burns. Absolute bollocks.
My ears are still ringing from the Shark Park speakers screaming ‘Ruck infringement’ over and over.
As for the Ronson Oval, if it sunk into the mangroves would anyone see it?
At least it didn’t rain

Why is it that some players lay down the bunker will look at it, but for others they won't?

Our player got hit in the head two weeks ago and tried to do the same thing and... Crickets.

I want this shit completely out of the game, but if it's going to be in there, why is it so selective?

It's a rule or it's not.

They where all happy when we had the run of play but no one wanted to risk putting their body on the line when the going got tuff and to be honest I’m not against it, they need to be on the park in 2 weeks and that’s more important than anything else.

Don't rule out the ultimate cronullafied. Lose by 30 next week and the dogs win by 30 and we finish 5th lol. It's what the NRL will try and manipulate and make happen

If only Uele put as much effort into playing as he did the haka at the end.. does he have any sort of will to win installed in him?

As has been pointed out, the player in question is notorious for lying down. The ref and bunker showed how little feel they have for the game in that instance. Butler should have told him to play the ball. How the bunker ruled that tackle as worthy of report is a mystery. The Iro tackle was fine. Their winger slips, drops and there is a body check. Nothing Iro can do. Same with the Hazelton one. Their player slips.

The fact that their winger did not get HIA shows what a joke the officiating was.

Anyway, when you have the lead with 2 minutes to go, just have to hold the ball and tackle for 1 set, you have to win. The last 2 minutes was a shambles. The last 30 minutes were horrendous. Soft mentality that needs eradicating.

He has talent but has not been consistently good for too long. He didn't have much of an off season but I hoped he would find some match condition but looks off the pace. Isn't making an impact and can't be relied on in a final.
