To be fair, it would have taken a fully focused, well prepared, mistake free team to have beaten Melbourne tonight. Penrith most likely would have given away a big lead and tried to run them down like they did against other teams quite a few times this year. I don't think they would have got a sniff, tonight.Only if played their best footy for 80 mins. They did that once all season so ost likely NO.
I reckon would of given storm more trouble then Sharks
Rules are rulesI bet you he hasn't . Nothing in the tackle mate.
They'll find a way to make sure he plays. It's too late to get another MOM medal engraved.If he gets off the NRL is corrupt. He should have been binned and even a possible penalty try given. Feki popped his shoulder from it and never returned.
So does Hooper. He's a gossip journo, why do they have him doing game analysis? Separation my arse. What a penis.Mick Ennis talks too much
Agree. We all know what the refs would have done if thst was the Eels. Penalty try. Sin bin.If he gets off the NRL is corrupt. He should have been binned and even a possible penalty try given. Feki popped his shoulder from it and never returned.

Meanwhile merkins are lobbying this morning that he not be charged bc its his last game etc.
You watch. He’ll be fine $1k and allowed to play.
I want Billy to play. It was a guy putting his body on the line and giving his all to help his team win with a last ditch effort. Imagine that attitude at the eels. It was not dangerous and not worth missing a grand final for.
Id go as far as saying a player should not miss a GF for a 1 or 2 game suspension. Perhaps a 3 game then yes. Same as semi finals. As a spectator I want to see the best players.
The suspension should carry to following season or if leaving club perhaps the option of $10k for each week as a fine.
He'll play.In order to do that they will have to change the rules.
As it stands now, the tackle is illegal, it’s worth 200 points, and he should be suspended.
So you mean play the advantage and call the penalty when the attacking team loses the advantage (i.e. last tackle or they score). Sounds like something Rugby Union would do.And on the penalty give away and 30 second breaknnin attack zone.
Want to stop it? Simple you dont blow the whistle. Let the team finish the set and then you blow it or signal extra 5 tackles. It is a deliberate tactic that must be rubbed out. Good defensive teams are happy to cop 1 on the 2nd tackle.
I am sure if nothing happend till a new set of 6 at end of set it would be harder to defend. It is a real stain on game. To give away a penalty on purpose to benefit yourself. Almost cheating.
