Please tell me someone else out there saw the Matt Lodge tackle in the second half which looked very close to Cleary’s tackle on Brown.

Yet, not even a penalty was awarded.

For all the incidents that resulted in sin bins and penalties there were another 20 that went uncited. By that stage it was out of control.

It was close, but I don’t think he went past 180 degrees. Only a bees dick in it though.

Hard situation to be in.

Once players start staying down, and coming together to melee after dropped-balls etc - the video ref has to get involved. And regardless of whether Klein would have made the same decision as the bunker - the perception is that he has missed the call, and the bunker is overriding him. Which diminishes his level of authority and respect.

The game was super physical too (notwithstanding the illegal stuff), and very stop-start. And that increases the aggro of the players.

Add in the rivalry between the clubs, and the high stakes involved in the match, and it was just a perfect storm.

Klein will likely pay the price, but the teams played dumb.

I've seen some commentary saying that if someone had of been sent off early the rest of the shit would have been avoided - but I'm not so sure. Some of the sin-bins were a bit soft IMO, so a send off definitely would have been overkill, and just would have sent the aggro even higher. Having said that, I think the head slam deserved a sent off, and I think the proposed suspension supports that view.

Was a hideous game of football though. Not sure how anyone can enjoy watching that rubbish.

Can you imagine the outcry if he had of sent someone off. Would have had to have sent one from both teams. Not sure it would have done anything yesterday though; they were more intent on bashing each other than playing footy.

I didn’t think he really lifted him in the way Cleary did; it was more a tip that came about due to momentum.

Murray constantly dives for the ground looking for a quick PTB. Players hold his legs to slow the PTB which makes it look bad.

Eels v Raiders feels like its going to be a quality match. Really enjoying watching the Raiders pack, in particular Tapine who is almost the best player in the competition right now.

Tapine has been a beast all season, particularly since his wife weighed into the debate. If the Raiders progress further fair play to her she has been instrumental in the improvement of the Raiders.

She definitely said he's not getting any if he made her look silly after that. Best motivation a man can get.

I don’t profess to know his current contract situation but if he hasn’t already earned a significant upgrade well he is certainly going to get one. His wife won’t have to do the grocery shopping at Aldi that’s for sure.

Don't care what you earn Aldi is great and has the best meat out of the supermarkets

I get what your saying. I would never ever but meat from CoLes. Disgusting, you get what you pay for.

I am a true blue butcher person, yes pay more, but I am prepared to pay more for quality cuts.

Canberra flattering the Eels..who have been decent..Raiders just awful..they knocked out Melbourne though...

 

[Munky]

Be interesting to see if the Eels try offloading every tackle when they are drenched in sweat thirty seconds after running on the field next week.

Certainly think eels will be more than a challenge for the cows.

Personally i think if the eels play their best than they are to good for Nqld...

They are a hard team to contain.

Yes raiders were avg but parra were very good.

Cows will have to be at their absolute best to beat them

The winner is 100% coming from our side of the draw

They might want to check their contact list because they had the wrong number last week.
