It was ugly & won't be hard to prove intent.

However, it was a love tap really. Not a lot of force behind it.

So was Bird's, from memory. And he was suspended for 10. Doesn't really matter who well you do/don't connect, if you shape to use your knee, you'll probably go for a while.

Fair point although Birdy did get Martene a bit better.

Sam Burgess really needs to stop running in when George is on the end of something. It was great of 9 to bring back the footage of the Matai/Burgess incident from last year. Same thing. Nothing illegal. George ends up worse for wear. Sam runs in. At least last night, he was the one penalised.

I wouldn't use birds as the yardstick. His was an anomaly for kneeing suspensions (although shouldn't be).

Morley went all out kneeing Corey Parker in the guts in his last game of league and managed to get away with 5 weeks

That's two weeks in a row now where our forwards have basically inspired our opposition to victory. Time some of the boys had a reality check and are told to pull their heads in.

Gavet will spend a good period of time on the sideline.

Sam should get a month. Freaking grub.

George should also get a couple.

The highlights for mine last night were Brooks showing he wasn't going to tolerate the late shots and best of all when Sammy boy didn't want anymore of what Wests Tigers were dishing up so he hospital passed for Merritt to get smashed.

Another big test against a desperate and talented Warriors side next week though

When the refs won't do their job and protect you then you are left with no choice but to protect your own.

If Simona was sent for 10 I bet Woods doesn't put Burgess in a knee breaking position. If 2 key Souths players don't get hit with unpunished dog shots we don't lose their temper later in the game.

Lol.




Just lol

:lol: yes, Hughes of course... Can't believe I mixed those 2 up.

I honestly think Morley got off lightly because of who was on the end of his knee

Yes blame it on the Refs & Tigers.

This attitude for the players will result in the rabbits going nowhere this year.

That was an absolute disgrace. By far the dirtiest, filthiest performance by a team I have ever seen. Souths got completely owned by a young tigers pack and couldn't handle it. They resorted to cheap, late, high shots because they couldn't take it. Potter would have been with in his rights to march down and take the team off. Souths were deliberately trying to injure tigers players. The refs are a joke for not doing more.

It was embarrassment to the game and to their club. If I was a souths supporter I couldn't be more embarrassed by the absolute filth scum they put out tonight

It's a standard Burgess tactic. The 4 of them are grubs and 2 of them are untalented grubs at that. Sam and George single handedly cost England a shot at the World Cup.

That knee from Gavet should get a lengthy suspension regardless of the impact point or the force behind it. Need to rub that shit right out. This aint MMA...

I thought the knee from Gavet was probably the ugliest .

It was stupid and he will rightfully be charged and suspended. However as said it was merely a love tap, burgess was holding his arm to get a penalty and gavet was trying to get free. It wouldn't have bruised a peach. Dumb and unnecessary neverthe less.

At least it wasnt a planned assault like all the souffs head highs

You'll be right, mate. Our team's forwards would struggle to dominate last years U12's wooden spooners at this point. Having a collective IQ of a peanut isn't helping things either.

I've had a think over night about this, and i really think the NRL needs to send a strong message about this kind of stuff... Souths should have their entire FG squad suspended for next weeks NRL fixture and forfeit the game.

Im not sure who they are playing but this should definitely happen, who ever it is

I thought this was going to be about channel 9 in QLD giving us the winner of the game in a news break just after halftime….idiots
