Gameday -rd14 Warriors v Dolphins

[Matua]

Now Nikorima doesn't get up, after falling into Currans arm.

Getting tonked on the nose is still going to hurt the same no matter how it happens.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Depends on the shirt you wear!

Good point.

Disappointing half - 5 line breaks to 1 but very poor finishing

 

[Blair]

It was an entertaining half, we're ahead, but the better side was..?

 

[Matua]

I've not been told by any official sources but I think the NRL will be trying to ditch the hip drop

It's the most inconsistently reffed part of the game. We're 14 rounds in and I still never know which way a decision will go.

 

[nswarrior]

Well thats good the hip drops gone

That was being sin binned 2 weeks ago

 

[GoSouths]

Ok Metcalf better be phenomenal in the second half as his first half was a stinker.

 

[nswarrior]

We need to run Te Fatty around in the back half of the game, test his gas

Haha - don’t jinx it, he will probably get a trt

Exactly. They coming out defending the calls left right and centre that the tackle needed to be out of the game and now *like magicpoof* its ok again. Not even a penalty.
I dont necessarily want to see a sin bin for it, unless it 3rd man in swinging away. But come the f**k on!
Vodafone One twitter going off yet?

I think they’ve overdone the policing but if it injures players it should be pinged

Exactly. It happens way too often in the game. They say 'dont tackle high' but now when you go low, youre often in a hip drop position.

Its too hard to ref and if they do go forward with hip drops, there'll be more penalties in the game than ever before.

I reckon theyve realised the crap theyve gotten themselves into and are now going to ditch the hip drop

 

[nswarrior]

Barnett makes a huge difference to the team. He brings aggression on attack and defence

Looks like he wont be able to say Mum about the reffing in this game.

Yeah I know what youre saying but youre gonna get injuries regardless.

What a baby response by the NRL.

 

[GoSouths]

Even Cronk is saying the hip drop should have been a sin bin

 

[GoSouths]

Disappointing half - 5 line breaks to 1 but very poor finishing

sounds like last week.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Should have been a penalty on what we have seen on occasions this year. I think the difference with that one, was that he was pretty much already down on the ground as DWZ kept pumping the legs, rather than coming down from up high to stop momentum

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Even Cronk is saying the hip drop should have been a sin bin

And Mal as well.

Look, my take is that the hip drop has always been in the game since day one.

Like spacemonkey said - they've overdone the policing of the tackle.

DWZ injures two defenders with his hit up
