Couldn't even beat the Bulldogs...... better keep the girls silverware close.
Ah guys, he was struggling to keep it together with the Dragons loss. Losing to the cellar dwellers is a big hit to the ego.

The Knights, currently at the bottom of the table, have already beaten them. Next 3 weeks should be interesting with Eels, Panthers and Sharks.

I'm shocked, Weildler twisting words from Hook as facts.

Wishfully thinking as I haven't seen a peep of anything dangerous from Su'a and McGuire and good on them for their hard work thus Fui will be fine so, I don't think Hook as anything to woory about.
More so considering that was the first occasion that Hook has fired off at the officials . I was stunned by his cheap attack on the Dragon coach and players .

Yes the media loves the video review so much that the NRL / bunker now have themselves in a tizz everytime a player goes down with injury faking or not they almost scrutinise every possible slo mo footage which distors reality to blame a defending player with something.
This new version and analysis of a so called hip drop tackle in slo mo when a player is grabbing from the waist from behind is ridiculous.

What they need to do is focus on these stupid wrestle stand up tackles, calling held as soon as forward momentum is halted and police the ruck again around play the balls and ground wrestling.
Yes proper quicker play the balls by the rules but teams will change these grab and wrestle tactics quick enough.

The best thing to do is when Weidler's dial comes on the screen, just undial him. Who cares about what he has to say unless it is about the grand finals won in 2018 and 2019 being taken from the Roosters for cap fraud.

Well said BLMO1 and the‘ hip - drop ‘ wrestling technique along with most other illegal tackling holds that the game now has , found its way from one club and one club only , which is located way down South of the country in Sin City .

The round 8 charge sheet is out and Moose's name is not on it.

Great news, I see that WWOS was reporting that the Molo hit would get him in strife along with McGuire's hip drop, fair dinkum the Molo hit was perfect and have a look at the photos of the McGuire tackle by the time he fell to the ground Moose was practically around his ankles. Anyway all irrelevant, we are good to go for the storm.

No wonder I missed the incident, it was a nothing thing as far as I was concerned and seemed bad that Moose was penalised. They are the breaks (no pun intended) that we have been waiting for but we better not get carried away because as Alfred Hitchcock once said, "mysterious things can happen when you least expect them to).

No charge for McGuire , which is tremendous news for the team and of course the man himself , more so perhaps after his effort in changing his tackling style , including his lack of fisticuffs .

So will that mean that the Dragons can expect yet another apology from the director of referees ? 🤔

MRC know there is no need to punish the Dragons this week.
Saving it for when it will make a difference.
Storm will do plenty of that anyway.
are you suggesting the storm will not be worried about next weeks game,surely you jest sir.
