Last week Greg Ingliss hits Hoffman twice and doesn't even get reported by the refs , Wade tackles the same way and gets reported how does that work??? The bastard ref was going to point to the spot and award us a try...RIPPED OFF AGAIN...

I didnt get to the game and thats why we won, I asked my mate what he thought of wades tackle, he said nothing, I just got home from work and saw it, dead f**king set, what has this game come to. any other team thats awarded a try, if it is the broncs at home it would never of been questioned, that was a farkem good solid tackle thats all and the farker refs tried to turn that game.

We're just lucky there ain't a 4th game of SOO. Wade just played his way into it tonite.

Yeh, he's suddenly become another match winner in our team. We are on the way up.

Yep.. Never seen a ref point to the spot and then all of a sudden go to the video.. I fear it's going to happen now a lot more if a player lays down. They did absolutely everything they could to get the Broncos back in the game.

If it was ruled a try I reckon' we'd have put 40 on them. Definitely changed the momentum of the game.

Hoffman staying down was the key (not that I think he dived, he was obviously injured, he didn't come back once he went off, plus he is tough and plays through injury all the time). If he doesn't stay down the referee backs himself and awards the try.

It is a terrible state of affairs when a player staying down injured changes a try decision. We will now see divers try to stop tries all the time (again, Hoffman wasn't diving, just saying what will happen in the future).

As we say, imagine a grand final being decided by it. If a crucial Origin/finals try is denied to diving, then we will become a bigger laughing stock than soccer. It will hurt the image of the game.

Hoffman was actually concussed in about the 90th second of the game in the very first tackle he took. He then copped neuronic scrambles at least 2 more times before that tackle.

So? Well 3 or 4 successive small concussions have made the result of Wade's tackle look worse. Sharks should use this in any defense they may have to make. Hoffman was all over the frikkin shop from 90 seconds in till the time he exited the game. Shouldn't of even been on the field.

Well done Broncos medical staff. The real villains.

Absolutely this. Coaches will be on to this right away.

I did also mention that late last night.... The Hoff was circling Jupiter when he got smashed by Wade.

We are going to have an awesome side when Toups and Fifita return. A bench of John Morris, Fifita, Ross and Toups. Graham to lock, Gal to Prop. If this doesn't happen we are no hope this year. Sides like Melbourne will dominate in the finals as soon as Gibbs and Ross go off.

On the reports, Wade has nothing to answer for, should have been a try. Jez will get a couple, don't know how anyone can call that accidental. It was a pre 2010 Gallen-like brainsnap.

I just ran the replay on the first Hoff concussion. I was wrong with 90 seconds. It was actually only 53 seconds in and his head somehow seemed to of gotten slammed into the turf. He was in Never Never Land from then on.

No wonder he was dropping balls, missing tackles and generally running around with 2 wobbly boots on.

Not for the one he's on report for. He wasn't even looking at the kid that got knocked out. Kid was aiming to come in over the top and Jez went head down arm up to protect himself. Outright accident.

There's another scarier incident earlier in the game that Jez might be sweating on

Have another look at the replay, Jez sees him coming and throws his elbow at his face. No way will he survive that.

What was the other incident?
