Round 5 v NQ

[Chins]

Its a dangerous sport. Time to man up and move on

 

[snickers007]

Over 22000 tackles made in the first 4 rounds, and 13 charges for high tackles.
Thats 0.058% of tackles.

And we're gonna punish each of them with 10minutes in the bin? Get the f**k out of here.

How about we assess each tackle on it's merits and act accordingly?
Every time the NRL has tried to 'make things black and white' it's been a mess.

LU is mostly for trolling and having a laugh but this is a brilliant post

Luai should have gone, Mahoney should have gone, get those calls right instead of trashing the sport for a month to make it look like you're taking a tough stance on it. It'll be over by Magic Round. I can't stand the penalties for high contact to a bloke that's slipped to knee height or whatever.

It sounds like Cleary is optimistic about Edwards and Nath playing Friday. I hope they haven't rushed Edwards, we desperately need him right. Wouldn't mind a McLean bro edge for some sort of a combination on the left there while our best defensive back is out.

That is the NRL way.

You should see the shit they have brought in for junior footy because of a few dickhead parents

that is the reason Ice Hockey has overtaken RL for me. They know and understand what the sport is

Mate I refereed League for a long ass time, I've seen it.

When I first got pulled into the junior rep squad, I was required to go to an Under 15s carnival. And U15s still played under the 'Safe Play Code'. And by the letter of the law, all and any breaches of the Safe Play Code must be penalised. I had many arguments with the coaches about this - but when push came to shove, I did what I was told.

So I had 3 instances in a single carnival game (12min halves), where there was 'foul play' under the Safe Play Code in the lead up to tries.
1 was flinging the player to the groud by his jersey
1 was pushing a player over the sideline
1 was a late tackle

All 3 happened in the same play as tries were scored. All 3 my touch judges ran onto the field. Had they happened in general play, I could have just penalised the player - no real harm done.
But all 3 players had to be sin-binned, because it happened in a try scoring play - and you can't restart the game with a penalty after a try has been scored.

I had to be escorted from the field by security. Coaches, players, parents were all ropable.

I packed up my shit, and drove the 3 hours home to the Central West after one game. Told them to jam it.

Well Talagi is named in NSW cup so he won’t be in the NRL top 17. Looks like no changes aside from injury.

 

[Chins]

Mav in the extended squad. Long live nepotism!

Now you put a score of a game up on social media, the club gets $1500 fine.

no divisions until u13.

Good luck getting in a sport school with no results.

Unclutch those pearls

It's a word that should NEVER be used. It has dreadful overtones.

It's not an clutching or un clutching of pearls moment.

It's in my opinion.....extremely offensive....especially in the context that you used it Chins.

Don't mind the team list seems the best we've got under the circumstances BUT Eisenhuth being on the bench says there's no props worth a damn in cup like the discussion some others had the other day which is a shame. Not insulting Eisenhuth just a comment on the depth.

We need to clean out the lower 5-7 guys on the roster. That is why no depth

If the rest of the side is absolutely firing then Huth's 15mins doesn't hurt us too badly but at the moment f**k no, Especially with To'o out. Our props are actually going to have to work hard.

This means any slight touch to the head a player will just lay down. They should have included any player that doesnt stand after the tackle immediately goes for a HIA. Its just going to slow the game down and every club will do all they can to get a player sent off for 10.

A joke.

Don’t touch the head.

 

[Black Panther]

Don’t touch the head.

Yeah good one, it’s a contact sport. Players are going to lay down I promise you that. Accidents will happen when players run 100 miles an hour at each other, incidental contact will occur. Yet a grub like Reed Mahoney gets away with deliberate grub acts, that’s what the NRL need to clamp down on.

This has Magic Round vibes all over it.

 

[Chins]

Don’t touch the head.

Not really how this sport works or should work.

 

[Iamback]

Thankfully rain isn't due this weekend. Or there would be no one left on the field

 

[Hooked]

Don’t touch the head.

There are circumstances where it can be accidental. Player falling into a tackle.
It should be judged on a case by case basis.

 

[hindy111]

I would have Baize on bench
X factor
