And what exactly is it that you have pointed out to us?

The game is corrupt and full of biased merkins?
That the Roosters get away will all sorts of shit that other teams are heavily punished for?
Your coach is a sublime soft cock that whinges and whines when he doesn't get it all his own way?
Politis is paying players under the table and rorting the salary cap?
You are a troll that takes losing badly?

It's ok we already know all that so time for you to f**k off back to your own forum and get up and have a crow when the sun comes up the only trouble is this year you have little to crow about as mediocrity descends upon your hen house.
Don't worry old timer the nurse will be with you soon for your sponge bath -best to leave your dentures in too I suggest.

It would be a monumental task GS by the look of things in your post. Even David Middleton would find it hard to produce the stats. At least you gave it a try and maybe you might find the time to complete the project at another period of your life.

What I was wondering in my post was how each team stacked up with penalties awarded for and penalties awarded against all teams to see if what Annesley says has some merit.

You should be worrying F'knuckle, Rooters did win something: the 6 again, 5 to 1. & still couldn't win with the
Referees in their pocket.

Enjoy your April GF "win" - It was a case of the Roosters losing the match not the Dragons winning it - Roosters won the NRLW Comp though mmm who did they play again I forget ?

St George wasn't broke, Illawarra was. St George has always be prudently run which is why they don't sack coaches at the first sign of a loss. They did hit paydirt picking up the Illawarra junior district, though.
The first sentence is correct. The second sentence is partly correct. But the last sentence isn't correct.

If you had a brain you would remember . You are right on 1 thing Roosters did lose it wrong on the next Dragons won it.

100% correct and the NRL do it all the time. It is not so much the injury itself, its the media orchestrating what charge, what suspension and banging on about the injury, poor player and team through the journos and commentators when they want a player to do time or is no one special.
If a media darling player did it they stay quiet, or say nothing in it, accident and lo and behold the MRC see it that way. It is a rort!
Funny how the media all seem to know and guess right the weeks of suspension.

I have questions for those that can work out the NRL rules made up on the run to suit
I will disclaimer this by saying I think Lawton's tackle last night was a good hard tackle with momentum one on one but todays rules, sin bin sufficient, on report and then goes to MRC for charge...which they have now done anyway.
But someone sent off normally goes straight to the judiciary for charging., (i.e. MRC dont get involved)
My 2 questions:
Why did the MRC charge him and no judiciary?
Did they put him on report as well as sending off, which is a loop hole to avoid juduciary?

Yeah funny strange not funny haha. Everything is orchestrated to the letter by the journos and commentators when the darlings of the league (players and clubs) are involved and are glossed over as if any offence is nothing whilst the not so endeared players and clubs cop pure hatred and frothing at the mouth rubbish.

Fui is definitely getting binned and suspended this weekend.
I'd say the officials will be keeping a close eye on everything he does on the field and will ignore anything detrimental being done by the Tigers. It will be "let's watch our friend Fuimaono and bugger the rest of the players because he is always easy pickings".

If he is sin binned, I bet you it will be for a minor offence and then Annesley will say it was not a sin bin offence and the ref will be dropped. The damage would have been done when the Tigers go over for 3 tries so we don't gain anything after the fact.

Fui has reviewed many similar offences which have not resulted in sin bins/suspensions and isn't happy. I am sure that he is determined not to do anything wrong on the field. He has been practising different techniques for tackling players so hopefully it works for him from now on.

Even if Fui doesn’t make a tackle:

“Did I just hear Fui call the ref a cheat?”

*bunker confirms*

Sent off. 8 weeks.

Why has this game changed so much? Where has all the excitement gone? I'm tending to watch the games nowadays to see who gets penalised, sin bins, send off, who gets six agains, etc. etc. not the game as I used to follow.

boardlumps62 started this Judiciary thread in August 2020, just gone past one and a half years and we are on page 38. The focus seems to be more on how the game is being officiated rather than allowing the game to be played in the right spirit and for the fans enjoyment - not bloody for reffing for heavens sake.

Danny Weidler said during the week that the Dragons coach - our Griffo “ should be careful what he wishes for “ after Griffin fired off about the very suspect tackling of the rorters on Monday.

The leech then went on to say that Su’a , Fuimiano and McGuire will likely to cop any action taken by the NRL . The grub has - in no uncertain terms labelled our 3 players as dirty players . I realize that he got his journalism qualifications from the bottom of a Kellogg’s Corn Flakes packet - and it was a very large box at that , but he had no right to put the mark-of-Cain on our players .


This is what the Dragons ( as are other struggling teams )
are up against in this day and age . Bluudy shameful !

The obvious inconsistencies in terms of officiating and suspensions along with the same 4 or 5 teams always getting "Their Man " in terms of Roster management...NRL is pretty much like the EPL... The Have's vs the Have not's.... How would you feel as a Warriors supporter or the Tigers etc...

If fans walk away ( and I personally know plenty...from other teams ) then the NRL and the commentators only have themselves to blame... look at the ex players who get all the media roles...pretty much all aligned with certain big clubs or organizations...they are just protecting their own self interests...

If the NRL want this type of scenario, then fans will walk and the already are.

A Victorian regional newspaper gets the print on this story. 🧐
No wonder Fui unleashed. I wonder who in Shepparton has heard of Fui.
Its not as if the NRL and refs read the Shep news.
Oops.. I forgot about social media
But he is right it is nearly a case of low tackles are too much risk and are a distant memory.
Shame really. Cronulla would not of conceded a try in the 1st half on Thursday if the player just went low

They train to hit waist and above standing up a sit is easy to do that way..fed dinkum
might as well join us in NRL masters with the red shorts on cause that is all that colour is allowed to do grab and hold.
The NRL could fix all this shi$. They can easy..but wont

IMO this is a smart move from Fuimaono and the Club (or was it his manager?) to stop him being targeted. No doubt there is inconsistency, that's been around since day one. The trick is in how you manage that inconsistency.
He won't be sent off this weekend.
