NRL players slapping each other is f**king embarrassing, and a direct result of the fact they no longer worry about getting the clock cleaned if they act like a dickhead.

Tamou may not have been looking, but that is his fault. The bloke had him by the collar for several seconds and shaped up before unloading. Tamou was just too busy trying to tough guy Galloway still instead of addressing the danger right in front of him. I doubt he'll make that mistake again :lol:

Loving how all these hard guys are laughing - When you, or someone you know and care about get's put in hospital, or worse, gets killed, you'll change your tune real f**king quick - Hitting a bloke that's not looking is a dog act - It doesn't make you hard or masculine, it makes you a f**king coward.

Agreed. He totally deserved it, and was well aware of the danger. Garbutt gave him plenty of time to respond.
Garbutt was just sticking up for the veteran in his pack.

Highlights for me: Edens try, The Nikorimas performances

Lowlight - that punch. Sorry, but a 2 week ban for that is a farce.

f**k you are clueless
Tamou had a problem with Galloway only
Watch the tackle again
Galloway continues to shove him in the chest after the grapple tackle ( which was more likely an accident )
Tamou only reacted to the extra crap Galloway went in with.
The bloke who threw the punch is a dead set cat
He was not involved and blindsided Tamou.

Keef can hold his own
He was probably embarrassed the other f**kwit got involved.

Think your taking this a bit too personal - Calm down!

A couple of blokes punching on during a game of footy is alright with me.

What happened to Tamou was not a couple of blokes punching on. It was a dead set cheap shot and Garbutt should have got at least 6 weeks for it.

It's one thing to hit a bloke who knows that its coming and can react / respond. It's a completely different thing to just run in and drop someone who has no idea that its coming.

Superleague is a joke because it's not at same level as NRL? Pretty strong statement. Do you consider 95% of professional soccer around the world a joke because it's not as strong as EPL?

You have to realise the $ difference of what is in the game in uk to Australia is massive and the competition for jnrs much much greater in England.

Now two champion sides at end of last season going toe to toe might have been a more interesting game. Leeds are in massive rebuilding this year.

If the WCC was played 2-3 weeks after the NRL GF, we would have been without Feldt, Matt Scott and about 2-3 others. There was quite a few Cowboys that were just waiting for the season to finish to go in for surgery. IMO a proper test series at the end of each season should be the focus to try and get the game in the UK up a notch or 2. The utter shit we saw on the weekend is not the way to bring them up to our standard. I want the game over there to thrive but having 3 utter blow outs like that are not the answer. Couple in the fact Leeds were without a host of players that were there last year, cowboys playing only one trial against the Blackhawks in the lead up....... The weekend was pointless.

Absolute none of them. Getting players names wrong, talking absolute tripe and being so obviously biased to our English sides it was just damn right cringeworthy!

Would love Andrew Voss to come and commentate over here, best commentator on TV in any sport by far!

Its painful hearing their low emotion whenever a non English team scores as if its the end of the world.

Hemmings was the worst of the lot whenever the Cowboys scored.

No, Mike Stephenson (aka "Stevo" ) was the worst. He was actually urging the Leeds players on.

The highlight for me of these series' is that they're an annual reminder to the English that despite their famously snooty and pompous demeanour, they are, in fact, really shit at Rugby League.
