Rd9: Parra v Knights GAME DAY thread 12/7/20

[Tooooks]

The commentators reckon Waqa will be in trouble with the judiciary for that.

I saw a perfectly-timed, legal hit - I'm not sure what they're smoking...

If Ponga had dummied and Waqa didn’t attempt a tackle we’d be crucifying him. In normal speed it wasn’t late. Ridiculous call.

 

[Eelementary]

I don't think we've been terrible, to be honest - Newcastle have had all the ball, in all the right territory, and only scored 1 try.

Our attack needs some patience, but we can win this.

Horrible call. It was a great hit.

Nothing illegal with it at all.

Joke. Committed to the tackle, not late or high.

No mate.
Mick Ennis has spoken - it was late and poor widdle Kayleen got hurt. Has to be 2 weeks at least for Wanga

To be fair, I think Brown made the right call - Pearce was on his way to cover Sivo, and Brown probably thought the safest option was to go back inside.

I think he would have been better off just dying with the ball, rather than trying to force a pass to Gutho.

Yep. Taking the tackle was best in that situation. Drown has otherwise been poor just through failing to take control.

It was a great, legal hit - I just don't understand why they're talking about it like it was a dog shot...

I never like to see players injured, but that hit would have rattled most players, and that in itself does not make it an illegal play.

If a team gets more possession it's generally because their kicking game has been better. Ours has been awful.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

BTW, in the Roosters game the other night, the commentators repeatedly mentioned how many players they were missing and how great they were under such adversity. We are badly missing Moses.

Along with stone, Evans and Kafusi out to...

100%. Don’t want to see him injured either, but it was a legal tackle

 

[strider]

Gonna rain. Need to score first

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Need to hold until RCG / Paulo come back ...

 

[strider]

Omfg. Ponga is not dead!

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Was Ponga even off 15 mins?

thought HIA’s were 15 mins

 

[Tooooks]

Kicking game is killing us.

 

[IFR33K]

He played the ball without being tackled. Should of been a penalty

Assuming the half time break counts.

 

[Tooooks]

Late tackle on Brown play on.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

WTF!! So Drown can taken be taken out!!

what the f**k is the difference between that and ponga tackle

 

[Tooooks]

As late as the hit on Ponga. f**king crickets.
