NRL Rd 15 2020 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Blair]

I'm posting on my phone, I hate posting on my phone! So will keep it short today.

Massive game tonight to kick-off the round, Eels v Storm. We'll see exactly where Parra are right now. They've got pretences about winning the premiership, or at least us neutral fans hope they do.

Panthers v Sharks, Cleary v SJ.

Broncos v Dragons. One coach gone, one to go?

Tits v Raiders, Canberra really need to get moving in 2020.

Tigers v Roosters. Wests only hope is Easts awful injury toll.

Rabbs v Sea Eagles, it's getting rough for both these mid-table teams. Great match-up though.

Dogs v Warriors. This will be a beauty, two teams, playing well, with nothing to lose.

Knights should roll the Cows if they're serious, but the latter have a bit of late-season zest. A new coach can do that, and is Morgan back?

Vete on report for a crusher. It didn't seem like much, but technically he might be in trouble.

NAS to tall and as second man in smashes Niukore in the face with his shoulder and gets a 10 min rest.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Try saver by B Smith, never give up.
Get him here Gould.

The second move in those tackles I have never liked.

and looks like B Smith may have a dislocated/fractured/broken jaw.

Quality game glad the Eels on but man Bellamy and co are awesome.. that team always turns up

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Hate saying it because he is a kiwi, but NAS puts on a lot of dog plays, there was only ever going to be one outcome from his effort last night, very lazy

 

[Penrose_11]

Can see NAS getting a few weeks for that hit. Unsure what his history is but no difference to Hertheringtond shot on Taupau. One led with the hanging/swinging forearm and the other drove in with the shoulder. Both flush on the snoz

It was rough as guy arms held in tackle as shoulder smashed him in face.
Not sure which I would prefer?

Pretty sure he has already had 1 this year for a high shot, got done last year I think for arm bars and shoulder charges but may be wrong on that

Does a 'history' with the judiciary also include off-field disciplinary action such as the fracas in Indonesia?

NFS got a $750 fine so free to play
Vete and Johns reports for their crushers both deemed as penalty sufficient and free to play
Nikaore facing 2 game ban for his crusher tackle.

I’m ok with the crusher tackles outcome but possibly a bit inconsistent but if NRL talking about all this head safety mumbo jumbo how the hell does NAS only get a fine for that head shot. Fkn confused!!

 

[Beavers Headgear]

That is absolutely disgraceful that he got off with that

 

[Big Marn]

starting to wonder if we need a Blockerwatch thread. Hes f**king things up already in the commentary.
Captains challenge by Sharks and hes wanking on about Penrith making a successful challenge....Pay attention Blocker!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

No Johnson?
Penrith already scored more points at halftime than against us all game last week.

 

[Benek]

The way Penrith is steamrolling the Sharks is making our effort from last week look pretty good.

 

[JJ]

Penrith again looking terrific. Tbh I think they knew they just needed to walk on the field to beat us

So much for the Sharks being my darkhorses. They were outclassed tonight.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Sharks haven’t beaten a team above 10th this season, position inflated by an easier draw
