Scott Prince a Diver ?

[Jimmy]

I was surprised to see the stay down on the late tackle last night. The commentators were unanimous that it was clearly a penalty milker and a successful one.

 

[Gaba]

After he made a comment in the public about soward, shows he is a hypocrite

 

[Coaster]

He milked a penalty, big deal. Glad he did, i think it was about the only one we got all night.

 

[The Colonel]

Dairy Farmers and Pura have been chasing him about a sponsorship deal....

 

[Coaster]

Oh and BTW, the penalty was for not attempting a tackle, Inu just tried to knock him off his feet after kicking, thats what the rule is there for in the first place.

So the penalty was correct.
Prince milked it for what is was worth
We won
Next

And this makes him less of a hypocrite about Soward because?

 

[The Colonel]

And won deservedly..... no issue.

The thread is more interested in the HYPOCRITE that is Prince rather than who won or lost.

Is the thread title "Scott Prince a hypocrite?"

But last Monday Titans captain Scott Prince labelled Soward a "diver'' and repeatedly branded him "the milkman'' when he was down hurt after a high tackle from Esi Tonga. The spray from Prince was so fierce that Dragons winger Wendell Sailor felt compelled to intervene.

Its all gamesmanship,

Halfbacks doing what they do best.

I dont see a problem with it, if you want to call him a hypocrite, so be it. I am sure he or any of us Titans fans will not lose a wink of sleep over it.

Bash away

 

[Sir Biffo]

Big deal, he milked a penalty.

Blokes have been doing it for ages and will continue to do it.

It just makes him look like a dickhead for coming out and spraying Soward.

 

[bubblesunlimited]

I believe it would have been a penalty whether Prince stayed down or not.

that sort of shove is te exact reason they brought in the rule.

Inu was neither trying to make a tackle or attempt a charge down.

It was just a late, stupid shove.

You stretch it any further it'll snap.

Fact: Scott Prince did a Gold medal dive last night.
Fact: Scott Prince went into a saliva spraying fit when Jamie Soward did the same thing.
Fact: Scott Prince is a diver and a hypocrite.

Someone please rename the thread to "Scott Prince is a diver and a hypocrite" for Coaster's sensibilities.

When he starts biting people, i will start to worry

nice attempt at deflection, but doesn't change what he did

 

[tiger_nick]

prince has always been a diver and a cat, even in his tigers days. it seems to be a trait of many nippy halfbacks. something i never liked about his game.

id still take him back in tigers colours in an instant though...

 

[alexc]

This has been a penalty all year and it is not like he pretended to need a stretcher he just flung his legs around for a few seconds. Every half/5-8 in the game does it when an opportunity presents itself.

IMO theres a difference between what jamie soward has done a few times and what prince did. In todays game it is the same as letting the ball go in a tackle and getting a penalty because the refs think it was stripped. I just hope it doesnt go any further and turn into god damn south american soccer.

Also if you were watching the game last night even Cayless told Inu to think before you act after the penalty was given. He pointed to his brain and mouthed something like "f**king think mate".

Coaster, I was not disputing the correctness of the penalty.

Including you,we agree that Prince did milk the penalty so the answer to my question is YES he is a diver. He would never replace Craig Gower as the Prince Of Divers.

Hahaha good call.
