Storm escape charge for their filthy wrestling tactics .... yet again !

[carcharias]

nah not everybody speaks highly of him.. its just those that have played with him in rep footy for oz etc, and against him and have had anything to do with him personally that think positive of him .. not everyone. Nobodies sitting behind computers don{t say positive things about him.

GF winning sharks player Sosaia Feki called him a merkin on Sunday.

 

[Perth Red]

You are a kaarnt piece of shit.

Love to see you on the end of that tackle ya snipering f**kwit.

Salty, weak kaarnt who doesn’t have a team & unloads on the Sharks.

That time of the month keyboard warrior?

Cronk, McKinnon, Hindmarsh off the top of my head.

Oh and James Graham called him “a cheating merkin” as well. Does that count?

But RL fans opinions don’t count? Kewl.

Townsend lifts the leg up level with his head and the other player sticks his foot out to trip up his other leg, resulting in Hoffman getting injured. But it doesn’t make the Storm look like the bad guys so it’s getting completely ignored

I know you will completely disregard this since I'm a Sharks fan, but I want you to watch the video again:

There are a couple of things to note about the tackle and how it differs from the Smith on Proctor tackle.

Firstly, the direction the leg is pulled in relation to the use of Ramien's leg. Townsend lifts Hoffman's right leg behind Hoffman whilst Hoffman's torso leans forward meaning there is no pressure on the right hamstring, but does mean the left hamstring is stretched (like if you were swinging your leg forward in a kicking motion.

Now this means that it is really Ramien causing the excessive stretching, right? Well Ramien's foot is placed in front of Hoffman's left ankle which actually prevents excessive stretching. If Ramien's foot was behind the leg, it would be a different story. So the trip does not contribute to the injury.

This is different from the Smith tackle as Curtis Scott is applying force in the opposite direction to Smith, which results in the stretching of the muscle.

It is also important to note, that Hoffman raises normally to play the ball with no sign of injury, and it isn't until after he plays the ball that the injury becomes apparent. Whilst this doesn't mean the injury didn't take place in the tackle (it may have weakened that muscle), you can not rule out anything else that occurred prior directly contributing to the injury - i.e. not effectively warming up prior to his late stint, muscle weakness during to an undiagnosed injury, etc.

I like Hoffman, and I hate to see him end his career like this - and I even hate lifting the leg. But it can not be compared to the Smith on Proctor tackle IMO.

 

[Perth Red]

lol, you'd make a good judiciary lawyer at the NRL appeals hearings. Same action, illegally lifting his leg unnecessary causing injury. Spin it how you like.

 

[McLovin]

Hoffman deserved it. I laughed as he was hobbling off.

 

[President Trump]

Cam Smith needs some way to express his frustration as a result of having married Big Bertha.

Tepai Moeroa my new favourite player. Nice to see Scam get hurt.

 

[SadShark]

That time of the month keyboard warrior?

Yep. The time that Perth Med has no team to support, whilst the Sharks make the finals & Gallen goes again for another year.

Lap it up, salty arse stain.

 

[edabomb]

Don't worry guys. The one condition of the testimonial this year was that Cam donate $50 out of his briefcase of cash to the establishment of a Craig Bellamy Wing at Melbourne Hospital.

The most delicious thing in him being injured was the grubby POS shouldn't of even been on the field. He should of gotten two weeks minimum for his grub act on Feki. Hope he is finished for the year, so much delicious delicious karma.

 

[BWNB]

Chambers has been cited and could miss three weeks. Dirty dog.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

He's showing a lot of remorse for it too


What a f**kwit.

 

[Glenn]

What a f**kwit.

One week per emoji.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

He's a massive grub, would fit in well at Penrith.

 

[jk13]

Haha EAD storm, karma been coming a long time , all the way back when u ripped cayless pec in a semi. It would b funny if a twisting motion ended any success for your final years Cam. Funny thing to, tepai even checked if u were ok, unlike the Newcastle bloke which u told the ref had caused his own accident. f**king scum

That’s not a crusher tackle

 

[no name]

That’s not a crusher tackle

Not yet it isn’t.
This single frame posted by the most defensive Storm supporter is enough evidence for me to think Chambers is innocent.

 

[Exsilium]

For a second I thought he was serious. No one could honestly take a still frame image and make such an important decision without seeing it all.

Then I realised that’s what the bunker does every week.

Therefore, Chambers will be free to play....
