The Joey Leilua Award

[King hit]

Well Canberra probably win the grand final if he isn't stupid

Should be renamed the the Scott Drinkwater award.

Should be renamed the the Scott Drinkwater award.

I wonder if Ben Walker corner will be renamed...

 

[Vee]

Should be renamed the the Scott Drinkwater award.

Nah. Drink water wins the paul carriage award this week, it takes a special kind of stupid to win the Joey.

Whoever thought ankle injuries go ok as long as you shift them to the wing must be pretty thick.

Paul Green, come on down....

So future generations can see the inspiration for starting this thread.

It seems to be very similar to Billy Slater using his extended leg for "balance"
Joey is looking away, and so has an awkward stance . . .. and he is obviously balancing himself on that merkins neck.
Nothing to see here . . . as Billy said" it's not my go"

Would love to have seen him try to use Kikau to balance

Or ... he's preventing Edwards from self harming.

Latrell's whack on Josh Reynolds was straight out of the Leilua play book, only difference is he wasn't punished at all as usual

 

[Zadar]

Latrells shot is more of a king hit, it was intentional and a genuine dog shot and should be dealt with accordingly, 8 weeks to the season,

 

[Vic Mackey]

What do these pics have in common?



Both resulted in penalties against Wests Tigers

What's the bet Latrine cops a lower grading even though it was a worse hit?

and his head high on Garner, my guess is he'll get 2 weeks all up

Wouldn't want to make the merkin cry

Just imagine the uproar if Reynolds did that to latrell.
Let's just pause for effect.
It would have consumed the after game show. It would have been in every hourly radio news bulletin.
You would have heard it 20 times so far on the morning TV news shows.
It was ignored by the refs.
It was ignored by the morons on Fox commentary.
Alexander, who I once thought had an idea, even suggested possibly . . .at worst . . . possibly a one week ban for all 3 acts of foul play.
Racism works both ways, doesn't it ?

Your post was going really well, but what’s with the last sentence?

 

[The Rosco]

Just trying to find a reason for all the latrell favouritism. He uses his culture as an excuse, so I'm wondering if that same culture lets him get away with stuff.
Like late, intentional, off the ball swinging stiff arm head high hits.
There's gotta be a reason ?

I think you’re drawing a long bow.

It’s not as though he is the first NRL darling to be a protected species. Smith, Slater, Burgess have all been beneficiaries of their high profile. Think you might be looking in the wrong direction.
